GLM has been shown to be useful in the treatment of: • bursitis, ankylosing spondylitis; • lyme disease; • skin inflammation; • gastro-intestinal disorders; • connective tissue repair and sports related injuries. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition in 2002 says that the size of your pet is a key factor that must be taken into consideration when determining the right dosage of GLM. The simplest way to do the math is to follow this general rule: 15mg of powdered extract per 1 pound of pet’s body weight.

GREEN-LIPPED MUSSEL HELPING TO PUNCH AWAY YOUR PET’S JOINT PAIN! Hundreds of years ago, the natives of the land, a tribe called the Maori consumed the green-lipped mussel raw almost every day of their lives. Consequently, the tribe rarely suffered from medical disorders such as arthritis, and other problems such as back pain and swollen joints. After discovering the benefits of the green-lipped mussel within the Maori tribe, scientists began testing and experimenting on the mussels. The original mission was to find a natural alternative for treating patients with cancer, which unfortunately didn’t happen. Instead, they discovered that green-lipped mussels have other therapeutic aspects that can treat various medical conditions; most importantly arthritis. As our canine and feline friends age, they too can experience the same discomforts brought on by joint disease. Unfortunately there isn’t a cure; however, there has been effectiveness shown for treating joint problems and arthritis through a variety of methods, including green-lipped mussel. In addition to their inflammatory healing properties, these mussels are considered a superfood because they contain a huge variety of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, Omega-3 fats, antioxidants, enzymes, and many more nutrients. The Medical Research of Spirulina - Cyanotech Corporation cites: “Clinical research points to broad basis for the anti-allergic activity of this functional food. A trial published in August 2008 demonstrated an immune-modulating effect in people who were administered spirulina for 16 weeks. Significant reductions in IL-6 (interleukin-6) were noted, which suggests a balancing effect on “immune variables”. Other experiments performed in “test tubes”, animals and humans support these prior findings and suggest that the effect of spirulina may even afford protection to those with food allergies. These test results are important because allergic reactions are partially brought about by inappropriate responses by the immune system. That explains
