If you’re looking for a natural, effective way to support your horse’s joints, mobility, and overall comfort, Green Lipped Mussel (GLM) might be the powerhouse ingredient your horse’s supplement routine is missing.

Sustainably sourced from the pristine waters of New Zealand, this shellfish is packed with bioavailable nutrients that help reduce inflammation, protect connective tissue, and boost joint health, especially in performance horses, aging horses, or those with joint issues.

Why Green Lipped Mussel?

✅ Natural Source of Glucosamine & Chondroitin - GLM is loaded with naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin — key compounds that support joint cartilage, ligament strength, and tissue repair. These nutrients help maintain flexibility, reduce stiffness, and promote joint longevity.

✅ Triple Omega-3 Power - Unlike many joint supplements, Green Lipped Mussel contains three forms of omega-3 fatty acids — EPA, DHA, and the rare ETA.

EPA & DHA reduce overall inflammation and support heart and brain health
ETA, unique to GLM, blocks an enzyme that triggers inflammation in the body, giving your horse a natural anti-inflammatory boost

✅ Improved Mobility & Flexion - GLM helps your horse or dog move more freely and comfortably. By reducing joint discomfort and supporting soft tissue health, it enhances range of motion and overall performance, whether you're riding for pleasure or competition.

✅ Supports Recovery After Exercise - Hard work can put strain on joints and ligaments. Green Lipped Mussel helps protect against that wear and tear, aiding in post-exercise recovery and keeping your horse in top form for the long run.

When to Use Green Lipped Mussel

✔️ For horses and dogs with joint stiffness or discomfort

✔️ As a preventative for aging or active horses or dogs

✔️ After intense training or competition

✔️ For long-term ligament, tendon, and cartilage support

✔️ To improve coat, skin, and immune health (thanks to omega-3s!)
