What is the Green Lipped Mussel, and why do we use it in our pet supplements?
The Green Lipped Mussel, named after its green edges, is exclusively found in the waters around New Zealand and is considered a superfood due to its numerous health benefits. It is rich in amino acids, Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
The highest-quality Green Lipped Mussel, combined with our other key ingredients, has resulted in the UK’s no.1 veterinary joint supplement brand!* YuMOVE’s scientifically proven formula makes a difference in 6 weeks.*
What are the health benefits of the Green Lipped Mussel in YuMOVE Joint Care supplements?
Just like us humans, our furry companions can experience occasional joint stiffness. Luckily, Green Lipped Mussels provide a source of special nutrients that can help ease occasional joint stiffness. Not only does GLM help to support your dog’s mobility, it can easily be given to your dog within YuMOVE’s tasty chewable tablets that your dog will love.
Why use YuMOVE supplements containing Green Lipped Mussels?
While adding Green Lipped Mussel extract directly to your dog's food is possible, it may not be the most efficient method of introducing supplements into their diet. Luckily, YuMOVE is scientifically proven to work in 6 weeks by an in vivo, double-blind, placebo-controlled, objectively measured canine scientific study by the Royal Veterinary College UK (excludes YuMOVE for Young Dogs). It combines ActivEase™ Green Lipped Mussel with other active ingredients:These ingredients work together to support your dog's health, the benefits include:
- Green Lipped Mussel provides a unique profile of Omega-3 fatty acids, which helps to ease occasional stiff joints.
- Glucosamine Plant based glucosamine provides basic building blocks of cartilage helping to maintain joint structure.
- Manganese plays a role in the formation of GAGs (building blocks of cartilage) and is a cofactor for enzymes that are involved in the formation of collagen.
- Hyaluronic Acid is a major component of synovial fluid, and part of our unique formula, helping to lubricate and cushion the joint, and has been shown to reach the joint within 2 hours. *
- Antioxidant Vitamins C and E - Vitamin E is important as an antioxidant and helps to neutralize free radicals produced in the joint. We also use Vitamin C with Vitamin E, as it’s been shown they have a synergistic effect.
Why do we add additional Glucosamine, Hyaluronic Acid, and Manganese to YuMOVE supplements?
While Green Lipped Mussel (GLM) can be helpful in easing occasional stiff joints, at YuMOVE we wanted to make sure that we provided a high-quality joint supplement that not only eases occasional stiffness, but also supports joint structure and mobility. So, we have added Glucosamine for joint support, along with Manganese, and Hyaluronic Acid to help lubricate and cushion the joint.
YuMOVE Joint Care triple-action formula eases occasional stiffness, supports joint structure, and promotes mobility to help support your dog’s joint health.
Where do we source the Green Lipped Mussel from?
YuMOVE only uses high-quality ingredients. That’s why we only use Green Lipped Mussels from certain bays in New Zealand, that are harvested at just the right time and are extracted by a specific process to make sure we deliver a unique blend of Omega 3 fatty acids to support your dog’s joint health.
