Why supplement?

Marked asPrimarySupporting

Primary

Ease joint swelling with marine lipids

Green-lipped mussel lipids include long-chain fatty acids such as ETA that can shift inflammatory lipid signalling once they enter cell membranes. Swelling and tightness after repeated knee use often ease along this membrane-lipid path over weeks.

Primary

Support joint lubrication with mussel GAGs

The freeze-dried powder also carries glycosaminoglycan fragments that can enter cartilage matrix water-holding and lubrication. People who walk or squat for long stretches often notice tightness and catching ease together.
