Let’s talk about an ingredient most pet parents have never heard of — but one that’s quietly making a massive difference in thousands of dogs.
Green-lipped mussels.
They’re found in only one place on earth: the coastal waters of New Zealand. And they contain something a naturally occurring combination of glucosamine, chondroitin, AND omega-3 fatty acids, all in one whole-food source. Not some synthetic blend make to mimic EXACTLY this!
Here’s why that matters:
Glucosamine supports the production and repair of cartilage, the cushioning between your pet’s joints that breaks down with age, injury, and daily wear.
Chondroitin helps cartilage retain water, keeping it elastic and shock-absorbent. Without it, joints grind instead of glide.
Omega-3 fatty acids (specifically ETA, a rare form found almost exclusively in green-lipped mussels) support a healthy inflammatory response — targeting the swelling and stiffness that make movement painful.
Most joint supplements use synthetic versions of these compounds, manufactured separately and combined in a lab. The problem? Bioavailability. Your pet’s body doesn’t absorb synthetic glucosamine as efficiently as the real thing.
Green-lipped mussels deliver all three compounds in their natural state, the way your pet’s body was designed to process them.
This is not a cheap ingredient. It would be easier and more profitable for us to use synthetic glucosamine like most brands do. But easier isn’t why we started this company.
We put green-lipped mussels in CannaNatural because they work. Combined with salmon oil and organic full-spectrum h**p CDB, it’s the formula that got Mya back on her feet in 2014. And it’s helped thousands of pets since.
Your pet’s joints deserve more than the synthetic versions.
