They are the same thing.  In the West, they're called green lipped mussel and in other parts of world it's often referred to as greenshell™  mussel. All these names refer to Perna canaliculus which is a type of shellfish that only lives on New Zealand

There are countless scientific researches done on the benefits of greenshell™ mussel. It has been found that having a healthy greenshell™ mussels nutrition can help with better joint mobility and function.

The benefits include:
- Supports connective tissue and joint function.  (Arthritis, Joint Pain and Mobility)
- Beneficial to heart health. 
- Beneficial to respiratory health (Asthma) 
 

Vitahub Greenshell™ Mussel is made with 100% New Zealand natural greenlipped mussels and contains no fillers or binders that can make it hard for your body to absorb.

We would like to know you to compare the strength of our Greenshell™ Mussel oil with other competitors.
While it is true that we use a 1:125 ratio, meaning for every 125mg of fresh greenshell™ mussels used in one capsule there are 1mgs of extracted oils.

The Vitahub Greenshell™ Mussel Oil contains 80mg extracted oils in total which is equivalent to 10000mg fresh greenshell mussels.

Asthma - Recent studies show that the green lipped mussel has anti-inflammatory properties which can help with asthma. The study in New Zealand found out that children who took a high dose of fatty acids from the Mussels had less severe symptoms than those not taking them, potentially reducing their need for steroid based medication to manage it.

Arthritis / Osteoarthritis - The green lipped mussel contains high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, making it an effective natural anti-inflammatory supplement. This helps with pain management and mobility in general! The shellfish also contain chondroitin; this building block for healthy joints can help manage osteoarthritis pain as well as drugs designed to do so.

Joint Pain & Mobility - The green lipped mussel contains Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, Eicosapentanoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexanoic Acid (DHA), which work as anti-inflammatory agents useful in preventing joint pain. It also has Vitamin C that reduces oxidative damage caused by inflammation.

Connective Tissue - Green lipped mussel, which is rich in minerals and proteins that promote healthy connective tissue growth. These nutrients aid the body's natural restorative processes of joints as well. 

Animal Health - Great for cats and dogs (Even horses) who are beginning to slow down with age. The amino acids and essential Omega-3 fatty acids provide the same joint support that you have come to enjoy as they get older, without taking any of their dignity away. 

Vitahub Greenshell™  Mussel is far superior to any other fish or krill oil for many reasons.

First, it provides a broad spectrum of omega-3 acids (30 free fatty acids in Vitahub vs only 3 in common Fish Oil) that are really hard to find in more common sources like salmon and tuna - so if you're looking for your daily dose of healthy fats these days Vitahub just might be the ticket! 

Second, it offers bioavailable ingredients which means it’s readily available when ingested unlike fish oil capsules were your body has difficulty digesting them due their molecular size; this causes many people from getting enough omegas every day.

Third,  The cleanest water in the world is found right under our feet. Vitahub mussels are grown and harvested off shore of New Zealand, where they can't be tainted by mercury or anything else that might get into their environment.

Results vary by individual. You can take 2 weeks or up to 60 days for your body's needs and processes to respond, but it is worth the wait. Let yourself experience all of these wonderful benefits so you will reap their full rewards.

You might be wondering why some people need more time than others before feeling any effects from Omega-3s; well if we think about our bodies as a home then this makes sense! It usually takes at least two weeks after moving in with new furniture that isn't broken in yet until one starts enjoying what they've got - just like when taking fish oil supplements and seeing how beneficial they are over time! Give them a chance by giving it enough time since everyone has different responses based on individual circumstances.

There are no known side effects! Though, make sure to check the ingredients if you have a fish or shellfish allergy.

Unless you are suffering from low blood pressure, your medication should not be affected by it.
But we always recommend consulting your doctor or healthcare professional.
