The following are a few key factors to take into consideration when making your brand choice.
Reliability of the Manufacturer
Choice of brand should be one that is well known for its reliability. Green lipped mussel brands can be found all over the world. The reputation of the manufacturer is important to the quality of the product. A brand that has been around for a long time will have a proven record of reliability. To find information it is easy to research any brand online or you can consult your physician. It always helps to read product reviews as well.
Processing time and Ingredients
The amount of time it takes from harvesting to freeze drying or processing the better the product and the more of its nutritional value will be preserved. Some brands will include other ingredients along with the mussel tissues that have been extracted. In oils especially, grape seed or other fish oils are added or other related ingredients. Obviously, the more added ingredients in a product the less potent the benefits of the mussels will be.
Servings per Bottle and Daily Dosage
Servings per bottle and dosage are also a varying factor between brands. The price of the product may be lower because there are fewer capsules or the dosage requirement is very high.
Milligram Size of Each Capsule
Read the ingredients and the label. The milligrams per capsule will also vary with different brands. It is important to check with your physician and see how much product you should be taking on a daily basis. The ingredients label should indicate the amount of calories, vitamins, iron, sodium, etc. but should also indicate that it contains at least 40 percent of the daily requirement of essential amino acids and at least 8 percent of omega 3 fatty acids based on the daily serving size.
After comparing green lipped mussel brands the conclusion was that the highest priced options were not the best. The recommendation made here is based on all of the criteria described in this review.
