Aspitol® Plus contains a mixture of GlycOmega® Green Lipped Mussel Oil and Olive Oil
Green Lipped Mussel Oil
Research has revealed greenlipped mussel oil is not only a rich source of the well-known fatty acids EPA and DHA, but also contains a few other, rare omega-3 fatty acids ánd a newly discovered group of fatty acids, the so-called Furtan Fatty Acids. These fatty acids are found exclusively in algae living in the cold, deep, salt, pristine coastal waters of New Zealand. Mussels inhabiting these waters filter out the algae, and store their fatty acids. The newly discovered omega-3 fatty acids and furan fatty acids, are the secret behind the biological activity of greenlipped mussel oil.
GlycOmega® is a stabilized fatty acid extract of the New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel Perna canaliculus, obtained by cold CO2-extraction. Stabilization is essential tp prevent early oxidation of in particular the extremely unstable furan fatty acids, preserving the biologoical activity of the Green Lipped Mussel Oil.
UNIQUE FATTY ACID PROFILE
Recent research has shown greenlipped mussel oil is not only a rich source of the well-known fatty acids EPA and DHA, but also contains a few rare, other omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids are found only in the algae living in the cold, deep, salty and pristine coastal waters of New Sealand. The mussels living in these waters feed on the algae by filtering the water, and store the fatty acids.
The newly discovered fatty acids make the oil derived from greenlipped mussels much more complete the other oils, including fish oil. One consequence is, you would need much less of this oil compared to fish oil.

FURAN FATTY ACIDS
For decades there have been strong indications, New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels contain one or more extremely effective but instable ingredients, that disappear without stabilization during the first step of the production process. Omega-3 fatty acids were not a candidate of first choice, since these fatty acids remain present in e.g. fish oil without stabilization. Recent research brought a new group of fatty acids to the light, the so-called Furan Fatty Acids. These fatty acids combine extreme biological efficacy with extreme instability, reason why they have not been discovered before. Nowadays, Furan Fatty Acids are generally considered one of the unique ingredients of the Green Lipped Mussel, that contribute to the biological activity.
NEWLY DISCOVERED FATTY ACID IS NOT ETA!
The discovery of the new fatty acid (C20:4n-3) in greenlipped mussel oil has created an 'hype'. Some distributors try to make an easy profit by claiming the amount of ETA in their product. However, the fatty acid ETA is completely different from the newly discovered fatty acid in greenlipped mussel oil. The only similarity is, both fattty acids are built of twenty carbon atoms. However, the double bonds between the carbon atoms are on different locations, giving both fatty acids a completely different biological activity.
NO PROTEINS
Aspitol® Plus only contains the stabilized oil, and is (almost) free of shell fish proteins.
