Felins Plus Green-lipped Mussel Powder from 100% green-lipped muscle meat, known for its high percentage of natural taurine, is a valuable addition to every house cat’s menu. Nowadays green-lipped mussels are an important constituent of a cat’s natural nutrition, supplementing meat meals or a raw food cat diet. 
The New Zealand green-lipped mussel (lat. Perna canaliculus) is endowed by Nature with a high percentage of omega-3 fatty acids, minerals, amino acids and glycosaminoglycans (called GAGs for short). These supply nutrients for joints, joint lubrication and cartilage, GAGs can make a valuable contribution to the health of the musculoskeletal system, thus helping to prevent signs of wear and tear such as abrasion, overloading and osteoarthritic change. Dietary deficiencies, overstressed joints or ailments resulting from accidents can mean that the body is deficient in regenerative resources. Green-lipped mussels provide numerous nutrients to counteract these deficiencies. Omega-3 fatty acids can help inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, thus supporting the body in controlling inflammatory processes. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and of vital importance to the organism. The nutrients in mussel extract make it a popular supplement:

• for developing and supporting the regeneration of bones, cartilage and joints
• for supporting the connective tissue
• for supporting the strength and elasticity of ligaments and tendons
• for young animals displaying abnormalities during growth, due to incorrect nutrition or other factors
• for maintaining the health of the musculoskeletal system in older animals
• for supporting the skin
