About Lyprinol
Lyprinol® has helped thousands of people maintain healthy joints and reduce inflammation.
It now ranks as one of the world’s most respected health supplements.
Lyprinol® is produced by a gentle extraction process using liquid carbon dioxide under pressure to remove the oils, leaving behind the rest of the mussel flesh.
- The extraction method used for Lyprinol® removes the protein and carbohydrate elements of the mussel, making it suitable for people suffering from shellfish intolerances.
- The stabilisation process used in the preparation of Lyprinol® protects the rare mix of lipids and Omega-3 fatty acids present in the live green-lipped mussel. Other mussel products, such as mussel dried powders have oxidised these components so you need to take much more to see any benefits.
- Because the Lyprinol® oils are closer to the natural state, they are more easily metabolized by the body and benefits are seen from a lower intake.
- Lyprinol® capsules are treated to avoid the unpleasant fishy reflux sometimes experienced with fish oils.
How does Lyprinol® differ from these other sources of Omega-3 fatty acids?
One of the main differences between Lyprinol® and other sources of omega-3 rich oils is the amount required to see an effect. Studies recommend fish oil intake of 18000 mg per day. Few people actually manage this amount. Lyprinol® has been shown to be effective at an intake of 1 to 2 capsules per day. This is equivalent to just 100mg of Lyprinol® oil and 300mg of olive oil. Independent studies have compared Lyprinol® to several foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids. Using an accepted animal model to measure swelling, Lyprinol® has been shown to be:
- 100 times more potent than EPA Max (fish oil)
- 125 times more potent than original freeze dried mussel powder
- 175 times more potent than evening primrose oil
- 175 times more potent than Salmon Oil
- 200 times more potent than Flax Oil
Lyprinol® works by interacting with the metabolic pathways that influence the inflammation process. This is because the Omega-3 PUFAs present in Lyprinol® are metabolised in the body instead of other fatty acids responsible for starting and prolonging the process of inflammation.
Lyprinol® is one of the best natural sources of Omega-3 in the diet, because it contains additional lipids, unique to the green-lipped Mussel.
No side effects
Lyprinol® has none of the side effects associated with fish oils. Fish oil supplements are dietary supplements that contain oil from cold water fish such as mackerel, salmon, black cod, albacore tuna, sardines, and herring. The active ingredients in fish oil supplements are essential fatty acids known as omega-3 fatty acids. They typically include eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Common side effects of fish oil supplements include:
- Fishy breath
- Upset stomach
- Greasy stools
Serious side effects include an increase in the harmful form of LDL cholesterol. The large doses of fish oil supplements needed to achieve the potency of Lyprinol® may also cause weight gain and decrease the absorption of vitamins A, E, D, and K from the stomach. If you have diabetes, use caution when taking fish oil supplements, they are reported to increase blood sugar.
Taking large amounts of fish oils over a long period of time may increase the risk of mild bleeding resulting in nosebleeds and bruising.
Lyprinol® has none of these side effects.
