 Lyprinol®
contains a unique grouping of rare omega-3 fatty acids derived from the non-polar
lipids of New Zealand's green lipped mussel (perna canaliculus). This combination
of omega-3 fatty acids is unique to this species and is not found in any other variety
of sea food.
The green lipped mussels which contain the raw material for Lyprinol® are grown
at the north tip of New Zealand's south island in the beautiful MarIborough Sounds
region. The Marlborough Sounds represent a perfect growing environment for mussels,
with pristine waters and nourishing Pacific Ocean currents combining with an ideal
climate.
All mussel farming and processing in the Marlborough Sounds is strictly controlled
by New Zealand's Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries ("MAF") to ensure that mussels
conform to the highest quality standards. The Marlborough Sounds are regularly monitored
to ensure that mussels are grown in clean, unpolluted waters.
The mussels from which Lyprinol® is extracted take around a year to grow to the
desired length of 80mm. When they are harvested they must be rushed to the factory
and processed immediately to ensure that all the important lipids are fully protected.
The mussels are stabilized and then freeze dried according to a patented process
which is essential for the subsequent extraction of the non-polar lipids in the
mussel. The processing plant conforms to the highest quality control standards,
which are strictly regulated and enforced by MAF on behalf of the United States
FDA and EU authorities. After the stabilized mussels have been freeze dried into
powder, they are shipped to a factory for the extraction of Lyprinol®.
