MMP50™

MMP50™ is a traditionally prepared New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel extract (GLME) powder, boasting a fully- preserved spectrum of synergistically active compounds (e.g. proteins, lipids, and carbs). It is standardized for bioactivity, minimally inhibiting collagen-degrading enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) at ≥ 50%.. Over 28 MMPs exist in the human body and are crucial to tissue repair. In health, notable joint degenerating MMPs (e.g. collagenases, like MMP-13, 8, 1) are balanced by resident inhibitors, called Tissue Inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs). TIMPs stop the repair process from going out of control. In joint dysfunction, inflammatory triggers and oxidative stress sets off a reaction that overrides TIMPs and leaves MMPs unrestrained in their destruction. As a dietary supplement, MMP50™ interrupts this vicious cycle, relieving discomfort and joint distress. Made from whole mussel components, MMP50™ is batch-tested for DNA to validate exclusive Perna canaliculus sourcing. It is Non-GMO project verified, protecting your formulation from purity and brand integrity issues. Chemical solvent-free & research-backed, MMP50™ supports mobility and immune-modulation claims in humans and pets. Only whole, cold-processed GLME (i.e. MMP50™) provides naturally occurring anti-inflammatory Omega-3s (lipids) and hydrating glycosaminoglycans (carbs), among other native components of the harvested mussels. Lipid fractions (i.e. oil extracts), defatted extracts (i.e. oil-removed fractions) and heated/steamed mussel compositions cannot provide this full spectrum. Clinical studies include:- Joint Support – Arthritis (OA); Humans (1000 mg/1 year; Single Arm, Pilot; n=120) • Supports healthy joint function • Reduces joint discomfort & limitation • Promotes extended active lifestyle Joint Support – Arthritis (OA); Humans (2100 mg/6 months.; DBRC; n=80) • Claims like the above noted Joint Support – Arthritis: Dogs/Lameness: Horses (~30mg/kg 56 days-DBRC; +56 Open; n=81 dogs) (~25 mg/kg = 7.5g/d- DBRC-XO; n=30 horses)
