The name may be a bit, weird, but green lipped mussels are a real thing – and they are actually really beneficial to your dog. In fact, they’re virtually a superfood!
Green lipped mussels are native to New Zealand. They have a noticeable green “hue” along the shell’s edge (hence the name). The Maoris – the native people of New Zealand – have known about the health benefits of green lipped mussels since the 1970s, but the benefits have only recently been known in the western world.
They are a great source of omega fatty acids and minerals not found in other plant or marine life. Another of their greatest healing property, though, is the fact that they act as a powerful, all-natural anti-inflammatory thanks to the presence of glucosamine and chondroitin.
Glucosamine and chondroitin are two important building blocks for cartilage and bones. Both help reduce inflammation and help with pain relief due to joint problems.
In addition to green lipped mussels benefits as an anti-inflammatory, they are also known as a superfood thanks to the fact that they contain a variety of minerals, vitamins, Omega-3’s, amino acids, enzymes, antioxidants, and more.
