| Green lipped mussel (GLM) is an
excellent source of essential nutrients. The nutritional value
of GLM Extract is due to its natural protein, lipid and mineral
content which being of marine origin and unique, has significant
benefits for health. These health benefits are signs of good
nutrition and are attributable to the high marine protein content
complemented by the natural omega-3 fatty acids and unique sterols
present in lipids. The large range of minerals, all present
at a level below their solubility maxima plus the natural content
of the B-group vitamins serves to complete this balanced marine
nutritional product. |
