About Lyprinolâ
FARMING
 Lyprinolâ
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 Lyprinolâ
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
Lyprinolâ 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
Lyprinolâ.
