Perna Canaliculus
Green Lipped Mussel
"This shellfish is economically important to New Zealand. It differs from other mussel species in that it has a dark brown/green shell, a green lip around the edge of the shells and only has one adductor muscle. It is also one of the largest mussel species reaching 240 mm in length.
Green-lipped mussels contain a unique combination of fatty acids. that are not found in any other marine or plant life. One of these polysaccharides, glycosaminoglycan is purported to assist in the repair of damaged joint tissues.
Studies have also found that Perna canaliculus inhibits the 5-lipoxygenase pathway, which leads to the formation of leukotrienes. Many of the products of these pathways have inflammation-supporting properties. However, a systematic review of current scientific research on supplementation with Green-lipped mussel suggests a lack of compelling evidence for its use in humans with inflammation associated arthritis" (Source wikipedia)
