Green Lipped Mussel powder from MBPC Omega-3s Are a Must for Pets
🐶 The Power of Omega-3s for Pets
Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, are “essential” — meaning pets can’t produce them internally, so diet (or supplementation) is necessary. These fats provide numerous benefits:
- Anti-inflammatory support — helps ease joint discomfort, swelling, and stiffness
- Joint & cartilage support — by promoting healthy connective tissues
- Skin & coat health — Omega-3s nourish skin cells, reducing dryness, flaking, itching, and promoting a glossy coat
- Cardiovascular & cognitive benefits — DHA supports brain and neural tissues; Omega-3s also support heart health
- Immune modulation — helps balance immune responses and reduce chronic inflammation
However, simply supplying Omega-3s isn’t enough — the source matters.
🌊 Why Green Lipped Mussel Is a Superior Source — Especially in Powder Form
Many supplements are fish oil–based. Green Lipped Mussel (GLM, Perna canaliculus) from New Zealand offers several advantages:
-
Complete Omega profile
GLM offers EPA, DHA, and also ETA (a lesser-known Omega-3) that’s especially strong in anti-inflammatory activity. -
Naturally enriched with other joint nutrients
It includes glucosamine, chondroitin, trace minerals, amino acids and other cartilage-supporting compounds — a “whole food” approach. -
Ease of dosing & flexibility
Powder form (like My Bear’s) lets pet owners adjust the dose finely (per size, weight, life stage), unlike fixed-dose capsules or chews. -
Purity and absence of unwanted additives
A well-formulated GLM powder typically contains no artificial fillers, preservatives or “nasties.” Users get the raw joint support nutrients. -
Better digestion for sensitive pets
As a natural whole-food source, GLM often causes fewer digestive side-effects compared to processed oils, especially when well tolerated. -
Sustainability & traceability
Many reputable GLM producers use sustainable harvesting or farming, with rigorous testing.
