For over twenty years mussel powder that has been freeze-dried and concentrated has been used as a natural food supplement to help prevent pain normally associated with those individuals experiencing joint discomfort. After fifteen years of international scientific research by scientists working independently at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, the goal of identifying the principal components responsible for the extract's high potency was achieved. These compounds were patented and given the name LYPRINOL®.
Lyprinol is:- 250 times more potent than the original Green Mussel Extract.- 350 more potent than Evening primrose Oil.- 400 times more potent than flax oil.
Lyprinol is a marine oil that consists of 6 main lipid groups and a unique grouping of rare omega 3 fatty acids that can only be found in the New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel. Lyprinol is an extremely effective anti inflammatory agent, and is used to treat:- arthritis- osteoarthritis- rheumatoid arthritis - joint pain- asthma- inflammation- muscle pain (particularly for sports people)
DosageThe dose rates for Lyprinol do vary from person to person. As a general guide it is recommended that a dose of 4 capsules per day be taken before meals; 2 capsules in the morning and 2 capsules in the evening. Many people experience beneficial effects in the first few days, but some people find that it can take several weeks before they experience these benefits. Thus it can be difficult to state exactly when you will achieve maximum benefit. Once you have achieved the maximum effectiveness it is possible that you could reduce your dose rate to a maintenance level of two, and in some cases only one capsule per day.

Purpose/UsageLyprinol is a marine oil consisting of 6 main lipid groups and a unique grouping of rare omega 3 fatty acids found only in the New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel. Freeze-dried concentrated and encapsulated mussel tissue in its raw state was used originally as a natural food supplement for the prevention of pain normally associated with older individuals experiencing joint and muscle discomfort.
The most current research is now demonstrating a whole new group of related, but different Fatty Acids. Over twenty years of research has produced a better understanding of ETA (ecosatetraenoic acid). ETA is a 20:4, a twenty carbon molecule with four double bonds. These newly found and isolated compounds have the greatest biological activity of all and show amazing promise for those who need to supplement with them.
The most valuable ETA's have been extracted from the New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel, Perna canaliculus. This mussel, unique to New Zealand has been used as food for many years in that part of the world and it seems to have added greatly to the health of those that includie it in their diet. One noticeable trait is that individuals who take Green-Lipped mussel extract seem to have a significant decrease in stiffness and joint swelling and discomfort as they age. This evidence led researchers to try to understand why this was so.
Scientists have been actively researching the New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel now for over thirty years and have been learning some very important facts. It is acknowledged by many scientists and government committees around the world that the western diet provides more Omega 6 fatty acids relative to Omega 3's. This leads to the bodys cellular membranes becoming rich in the Omega 6's such as arachidonic acid, which is a precursor to certain molecules that can cause inflammatory processes associated with arthritis, psoriasis and asthma to name a few.
Many studies have reported that certain lipids from fish and other marine sources can have a beneficial effect to our overall health when they are taken as a part of the diet on a routine basis. When Lyprinol was compared to other well-known anti-inflammatory substances Lyprinol was shown to be: · 200 times more potent than Max EPA · 250 times more potent than the original Green Mussel Extract. · 350 more potent than Evening primrose Oil. · 400 times more potent than flax oil.
Adverse Effects
Lyprinol has been clinically trailed in a number of countries around the world. It has been available to the public for 3 years and has been very well tolerated. In fact the only reported side effect from the clinical studies was one case of nausea. When taken at the recommended dose rates Lyprinol appears to be remarkably free of side effects.
What are the advantages of Lyprinol over mussel powder?Mussel powders contain proteins, which can cause allergic reactions in some people. Since Lyprinol is an oil all the proteins have been removedMussel powders contain sea salt, which can be a problem for people needing to stay on a low salt diet. Lyprinol contains no sea saltsBecause Lyprinol is a potent concentrate, the dose rate is far lower and the capsules are easier to take.The unpleasant odours associated with encapsulated mussel powders have been removed.Lyprinol Presentation: Each pack of Lyprinol contains 50 Softgel Capsules. Each Lyprinol Softgel capsule contains: Lyprinol Marine Lipid Extract from Perna canaliculus 50mg, Natural Mono-unsaturated Olive Oil 100mg & Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) as antioxidant 0.225mg.
