Sea Mussel
FoodScience of Vermont
Overview
The primary ingredient, Perna Canaliculus, demonstrates moderate efficacy for mild to moderate osteoarthritis, but other listed components are either underdosed, lack strong human-specific evidence in this context, or are broadly present in the mussel itself, making their individual contribution difficult to ascertain. The 'loading' and 'maintenance' dosage indicates a thoughtful approach to GLM supplementation.
The Good
