Can I take Green Lipped Mussel Powder if I’m allergic to shellfish?
Our Green Lipped Mussel Powder is NOT suitable for anyone who is allergic to shellfish as it contains organic components directly derived from green-lipped mussels, which are shellfish.
Is Green Lipped Mussel Powder free from heavy metals?
Generally, the accepted international limits in a finished product are less than 3ppm (parts per million) for both Mercury and Cadmium. You can be assured that our results are all well under these limits. Please see our Certificate of Analysis for more information.
Is it normal for Green Lipped Mussel Powder to have a strong smell?
Green Lipped Mussel Powder has a natural ocean aroma. If you are not familiar with the smell of mussels in their natural state, it may take a little bit of getting used to, but please rest assured this means that the product is very fresh and potent, and rich in bio-active nutrients.
Will this supplement interfere with prescription medications?
All supplements should be taken 2-3 hours away from prescription medication. We recommend checking with your doctor before beginning any supplement.
Can I take other Xtendlife supplements alongside Green Lipped Mussel Powder?
Yes, you can. All our products are formulated to work synergistically with each other.
Can I take Green Lipped Mussel Powder if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, we do not recommend this. The only product we recommend during this time is our Omega 3/DHA fish oil, which has valuable properties to support both the health of the mother and baby.
Fish oil is highly recommended by many medical professionals during pregnancy and breastfeeding to help support infant brain development, as well as systemic organ growth. It can also play a valuable role in supporting the post-natal mood and brain function of the mother. As the baby draws from the mother's precious stores of DHA, they can easily become depleted, therefore supporting levels with a supplement such as Omega 3/DHA fish oil is very wise.
