Unlock the Nutritional Power of Green Lipped Mussel

What is Green Lipped Mussel Powder?

Green Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus) is a native to New Zealand. Indigenous Maori peoples have known mussels for generations as a nutrient-dense food source. The production method of freeze-drying only 100% pure mussel meat and no shell is crucial as it preserves the mussel's nutritional integrity and increases the shelf-life to three years.
