• The products in the Pernaton range contain original PERNA extract which is a source of high grade Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), of which Glucosamine is a precursor.
• It also contains small amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids, minerals and 18 vital L-amino acids.
• PERNA extract is produced from the New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel (Perna Canaliculus) which is grown in state controlled areas in the South Pacific waters around New Zealand (one of the cleanest waters on earth).
• Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are natural substances found in the connective tissue of ligaments and joint cartilages. They help to preserve the connective tissue in the body as well as improve its regeneration process, joint cartilages included.
• The Green Lipped Mussel, along with any organism living in the sea has connective tissue that is rich in GAGs, and this has been scientifically tested, and shown to improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin as well as making it feel softer and silkier.
