Green Lipped Mussel - New Zealand Green Mussel or otherwise known as Green Lipped Mussel. It can be found in the dietary supplement Zein Pharma - Green Lipped Mussel. The mussel is a species of one of the largest bivalves. This species of shellfish is only found in New Zealand and is endemic, or a species specific to one region.

It is cultivated on a short stretch of coastline where it matures over an extended period of time. It owes its healing properties to the presence of GAGs - glycosaminoglycans. The extract is a valuable source of silicic acid, omega-3 acids, vitamins and minerals.
