Green Lipped Mussels provides a natural blend of natural proteins, minerals, glycosaminoglycans and essential Omega-3 fatty acids.

Studies have also found that Green Lipped mussel blocks the formation of leukotrienes inhibiting arthritis.
What is the difference between VitaPet Joint Care (GLM) and glucosamine?
In addition to EPA and DHA, VitaPet Joint Care powder also contains a unique omega-3 fatty acid called ETA, which has strong anti-inflammatory properties reducing joint swelling and pain, as well as chondroitin sulphate, glucosamine, antioxidants and cofactor minerals. These have a synergistic relationship working together to reduce inflammation, limiting further damage and help regenerate damaged joint cartilage and synovial fluid.
When supplementing your pet with GLM their body is able to produce its own glucosamine and chondroitin. Additional supplementation with glucosamine is not required when giving GLM.
