MUSSEL POWER - Green Lipped Musssel helps humans fight joint pains and arthritis. BEAUTY (National Magazine) January-2010
It was in 1972 when the marine scientists were researching on the health benefits of shellfish extracts that they chanced upon the green lipped mussel. The extracts from the same showed that they chanced upon the green lipped mussel. The extracts from the same showed that it could find bone degeneration, and had anti-inflammatory properties that can help people with arthritis of joint pains.
Green lipped mussels are found in abundance in New Zealand. They are also natural source of food for the natives there. We found that Polynesian people ate them raw and has lesser incidence of bone and joint related issues. That’s what pushed the idea, and research on these little sea creatures started. In the last thirty year of more We have found that a specific extract from the green lipped mussels have special healing benefits, The special extract called Biolane which has multifunctional capabilities.
Based on this the neutraceutical Seatone was developed. The product is completely natural with practically no side effects. The best thing about this supplement is that it can be taken along with other prescription drug. We have found that with regular use people can actually reduce their dependency on prescription drugs for joint pains and arthritis.
Today it is not just the older people who suffer from rheumatoid or osteo arthritis; even young people with active lifestyle also suffer from joint and bone degeneration especially after the age of 30 so adding this extract from green lipped mussels to their daily diet can help them retain good bone health longer.
Benefits of Biolane
Seatone which is based on Biolane provides relief from joint inflammations, and aids in joint lubrication. The extract has naturally assimilated micronutrients from its sea environment. Thus it is high in protein, carbohydrate, sodium and energy while low on cholesterol – which is beneficial for overall health as well.
Its major property is its anti- inflammatory capability. It performs two distinct anti-inflammatory activities – inhibits the inflammation by fighting immune system that has gone out of control; and inhibits inflammatory enzymes, promoting the production of growth enzymes which help in cell regeneration.
Another valuable feature of this extract is that is has been found to have natural gastro-protective properties. This means that, not only does it not damage the delicate stomach lining; it actually provides a protective function for it. Thus it is able relieve the inflammatory symptoms associated with arthritic diseases whilst protecting the stomach from the damaging effect of some pain-killers should a person need to be taking these at the same time.
Seatone also has antihistamine properties which provide relief from any allergic reactions. Since it inhibits the degenerative process, some research scientists are also looking at it as a possible ingredient for anti-aging solutions.
Mussel and you
You don’t necessarily have to suffer from arthritis to take seatone. Since it is like a food supplement, so it is good for even young people. In fact even children can take this as it will help in their overall health. But I recommend that women who are post 35 should start taking Seatone. You don’t really have to wait for the symptoms.
In case you start noticing symptoms like joint ache, cricking knee then you can start taking at least two capsules a day with your meals. While results can vary form person to person, but you will start to feel better with four weeks if taking this. Since it has no allergic reactions. So long term usage is not harmful. However if you have allergy to seafood. Or are on a no salt diet then avoid this, since Seatone has sodium content. Also if you suffer from gout, or are pregnant, or breastfeeding avoid it.
