Ultra Green Lipped Mussel 500mg 90 Capsules for Maintaining Joint Health and Mobility

I am editing my review as you can't review more than once to give a more up to date opinion.I have been using this for over a year now and it is an amazing, natural no side effects product that REALLY WORKS!Yes- it's intended for humans -and they do make a dog version- But you know what- human versions go through much longer and better testing and quality control and are not as expensive!My collie is now nearly 13 and the vets had written him off when he was 11 "He's old, it's expected with arthritis, no more long walks or plays for him, he's not up to it"- but they were happy to keep charging huge amounts for products which, at most for dogs, are only tested for a max of 6 months generally before putting onto the market. The vets were wrong- He IS up to long walks and plays-ever since he's been on green lipped mussels! Sure, he can't last as long as he used to- but no swelling or limping or chewing and over licking his joints to ease the pain- has ever come back and he's got a great quality of life, which he wouldn't have if I'd left him in the vets hands.Why should a lovely poorly dog suffer-when this very affordable product is available.My 11 year old collie cross has been full of arthritis for nearly a year- and on very expensive meds from the vet that have all had unpleasant side effects. My friend recommended green lipped mussels and the difference after only 2 weeks of 1 a day is incredible. I stopped giving him the vet meds. All of his swelling has gone down, he isn't limping anymore and is full of energy for playing again. Not only that, but his coat has become so silky and shiny he constantly looks like he has been to a grooming salon! :-) The item arrived quickly and well packaged- will be using this seller again. If you have a dog that's getting on a bit, I highly recommend this even as a preventer of arthritis as well as a treatment. FAB!

I bought this product after speaking to someone on a beach once, they told me that their dog that was racing through the sand and water had been taking these for 6 months, before she had started them her dog was stiff with joint problems. I thought I would try them out on my 12 year old cross. I think these are miracle supplements, my 12 year old was always so stiff and sore after walks that he would bite at his joints, he has been on them now for over 12 months and no one can believe his age, he runs everywhere and has been given this new lease of life. He no longer is sore after big runs and doesn't even yelp with pain anymore. In-fact have started my 3 legged lurcher on them now as have been told he will suffer when he is older as has more weight on his other leg to support himself and have had no problems with him at all. Everyone I meet I tell about these tablets, my friends dog started to take them and has come off his arthritis medication all together! My 12 year old actually won 1st prize recently in s 'best conditioned senior dog' competition out of 40 dogs, the judge could not believe his age. Please give this a go, vets fees are so expensive and I can honestly say this works wonders, it takes about 3-4 weeks to start working but is so worth the results.

Bought this on a recommendation from our vet - for my eleven year old poodle who has arthritis in one of his hips. I had previously tried for him - a four week course of steroids, Metacam (an anti inflammatory from the vets), cod liver oil, glucasamin and chondroitin and heat pads, over the last two years - none of which had any real or lasting effect. He was not himself anymore, lagging behind on the walk, unable to jump into the car, tired easily and generally quite a sad boy. Then I put him on this stuff - two tablets a day - and it really had changed his life. He literally bounced back! He has been on it for 4 months now and it shows no sign of having a diminishing effect. He runs like a young dog again, jumps to catch a ball and leaps into the back of the car and has got his cheeky zest for life back.I also take it for the arthritis in the joints in my hands, which had been painful enough to keep me awake at night - now, unless I accidently knock one of my joints, there is no pain at all, at any time (except if I forget to take my tablets!).I cannot recommend this stuff highly enough - I have seen no side effects, no contra indications - nothing but life changing benefits for myself and my dogs.

I'm not too sure how well this product is working so far, but after around half an hour after taking, you can weirdly taste fish even though they have a capsule coating. I also take fish oil capsules but have tested taking both separately to see which is causing the fishy taste & I can verify it is defiantly this product. I have confirmed with my wife that my breath doesn't smell after taking these, but will make you very conscious.

I have had my seven year old Labrador on these for about a month now, he used to limp after a long walk and was stiff on getting up after lying down for a while. I have tried all sorts of anti-inflamatories and injections and although he is still having Cartophen injections once a month, I use these as a top up as I used to have to give him a paracetamol twice a day for the pain. The limp has all but disappeared now, very rare, and he can get up a lot easier. He also can run around more and you can get Green Lipped Mussel in either capsule or powder form. Definitely recommend these tablets, an absolute godsend!
