Gall Pharma Green Lipped Mussel Plus Capsules, 360 ST

Gall Pharma Green Lipped Mussel Plus Capsules are a food supplement with 233 mg green lipped mussel powder, 150 mg glutamine and 0.6 mg vitamin B6 per capsule. For the supportive treatment of arthrosis and joint diseases.

The synovial fluid consists of components of the blood and amino sugars (glucosaminoglycans), which are responsible for its viscous consistency. This in turn is necessary to prevent the cartilage surfaces from rubbing directly against each other and thus fulfil their function as "synovial fluid". The natural protein and sugar building blocks found in amino sugars are important for the maintenance and regeneration of cartilage tissue and for the structure of connective tissue. Due to the anti-inflammatory effect, a special property of this mussel species, the green-lipped mussel is successfully used in the treatment of rheumatic diseases. Green-lipped mussel powder has been shown to have a decisive effect on joint complaints.

• Has an anti-inflammatory effect,
• Prevents the destruction of joint cartilage,
• Improved lubrication of the joints,
• Has a pain-relieving effect.

Active ingredients

• The green-lipped mussel can only be found in the waters around New Zealand, where it is also cultivated. Because they are cultivated in unspoilt fjords, there are virtually no residues or heavy metal deposits. The green-lipped mussel is characterised by its high content of amino sugars with a positive effect, particularly in the treatment of joint complaints (arthrosis etc.) and in the development of the body's own tissues. L-glutamine L-glutamine is the acid amide of the non-essential amino acid L-glutamic acid. Both are widely used and are a protein component that is never lacking.
• L-glutamine is found freely in sugar beet molasses, beet juice, potatoes and in many plants, especially in asparagus sprouts. L-glutamic acid is present in very large quantities in most proteins, especially in milk (22%), wheat (31%) and maize (18%). In the organism, L-glutamine is required for the formation of purine and amino sugars, for example, and in the kidneys it plays a role as an NH3 donor (neutralisation).

Vitamin B6 contributes

• to normal cysteine synthesis
• to a normal energy metabolism
• to a normal function of the nervous system
• to a normal homocysteine metabolism
• to normal protein and glycogen metabolism
• to normal mental function
• to the normal formation of red blood cells
• to a normal function of the immune system
