Since the early 1990s, clinical studies have shown that specific lipids found in green-lipped mussels are highly effective anti-inflammatories in the treatment of arthritis. Studies have also shown that these marine lipids offer protective benefits to blood vessels and bone joints. The lipids may even provide benefits to other organs, such as the skin, the bronchi, and the gastrointestinal tract. As a result of this research, over the last few years, the use of green-lipped mussel lipids has increased throughout Australia and Asia. Now, this natural product has made its way to North America--apparently, just in time. With the newly found risks of many anti-inflammatory prescription drugs continuing to make headlines, it has become vital for millions of arthritis sufferers to find safer options. In The Inflammation Revolution, readers can learn how marine lipids work; what scientific studies have shown about their use; and, most important, how this ?miracle from the sea? can be used to safely and effectively relieve the pain of arthritis.
