Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of enzymes that degrade the extracellular matrix. Unlike most Green Lipped Mussel powders, which aren't tested, ours is tested for Matrix Metalloproteinase Inhibition activity (MMP's 1-14), outperforming other commercially available Green Lipped Mussel Powders by a wide margin.
Not all GLM supplements are created equal—and our extract proves it. Sourced from premium New Zealand green-lipped mussels, the proprietary cold-extraction process preserves delicate bioactives often lost through defatting and steaming.
The result? Superior MMP (matrix metalloproteinase) inhibition—key enzymes that break down cartilage and joint tissue. Backed by science, trusted by dog parents.
Green-lipped mussels are prized for their polar-lipid–rich oil, and once this valuable fraction is removed, the remaining material is defatted green-lipped mussel.
Most green-lipped mussel products are steam-treated to open the shells and release the mussel meat.
The reason that our green-lipped mussels cost more comes down to the fact that they aren't from defatted green-lipped mussels, and they aren't subjected to steam or pressure cooking to open the shell.
