- Product Highlights
- MMP 50™ is a traditionally prepared New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel extract (GLME) powder, boasting a fully- preserved spectrum of synergistically active compounds (e.g. proteins, lipids, and carbs).
- It is standardized for bioactivity, minimally inhibiting collagen-degrading enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) at ≥ 50%. . Over 28 MMPs exist in the human body and are crucial to tissue repair. In health, notable joint degenerating MMPs (e.g. collagenases, like MMP-13, 8, 1) are balanced by resident inhibitors, called Tissue Inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs).
- TIMPs stop the repair process from going out of control. In joint dysfunction, inflammatory triggers and oxidative stress sets off a reaction that overrides TIMPs and leaves MMPs unrestrained in their destruction. As a dietary supplement, MMP 50™ interrupts this vicious cycle, relieving discomfort and joint distress.
- Green Lipped Mussel Extract crude protein (g/100g) 56-61 ash (g/100g) 18-21 moisture (g/100g) 0.6-4 carbohydrate (g/100g) 9.6-12 lipids (g/100g) 10 omega 3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA per100g) 2.8-4.5 saturated fat ̃3.3% glycosaminoglycans ̃3.0% Whole Mussel Components MMP 50™ is batch-tested for DNA to validate exclusive Perna canaliculus sourcing.
- It is Non-GMO project verified, protecting your formulation from purity and brand integrity issues. Solvent-free & researched-backed, MMP 50™ supports mobility and immune-modulation claims in humans and pets.

- Only whole, cold-processed GLME (i.e. MMP50™) provides naturally occurring anti-inflammatory Omega-3s (lipids) and hydrating glycosaminoglycans (carbs), among other native components of the harvested mussels.
- Lipid fractions (i.e. oil extracts), defatted extracts (i.e. oil-removed fractions) and heated/steamed mussel compositions cannot provide this full spectrum.
