Green Lipped Mussel, a crustacean from the pristine waters of New Zealand, is a natural source of complex proteins, concentrated glycosaminoglycans, amino acids, omega 3 (ETA), omega 6, selenium and chelated minerals (zinc, copper and manganese). These elements, combined with its high content of chondroitin sulfate, make it an excellent choice to support your pet's hip and joint health. Its anti-inflammatory properties can also relieve conditions such as elbow or hip dysplasia. Turmeric and black pepper are among the most powerful natural anti-inflammatories. We've made serving with our recyclable jar and small spoon portion even easier.
