Do you suffer from:

• Progressive aches and pains?
• Stiffness when using your hands?
• Inflamed or swollen joints?

Do these symptoms get worse in cold, damp or humid weather? It does for many. 70 million Americans, 4.5 million Australians and 7 million adults in the UK suffer every year. If you are one of them, please read on…

Symptoms like these are often ignored or ‘lived with’ because they come and go, or are not severe enough to warrant intensive treatment.

But, if you ignore these symptoms their underlying causes will likely worsen, ‘creeping’ up on you with increasing pain and restriction until a more serious arthritic condition develops, ultimately leading to other health problems… (For more info please refer to Arthritis, Bones and Joint Problems in our Health Conditions).

If your symptoms are not severe enough to warrant using our recommended arthritis protocol we have developed a unique inexpensive formula that may be perfect for you!

It provides a natural anti-inflammatory in the form of a concentrated green lipped mussel extract exclusive to New Zealand.

Known as GLM-Omega 3 Plus this product combines the powerful green lipped mussel extract with our proven, popular, pure, concentrated pharmaceutical grade Omega 3 DHA/Esters.

Taking 3 soft gels a day will give you the recommended daily dose of Omega 3, and in addition you will receive the benefits of the mussel extract for around 40 cents per day.

This formula is unique to Xtend-Life and provides a unique balance of high strength anti-inflammatory action and joint strength improvement. Learn more by reviewing the benefits…

The active ingredients in GLM Omega 3 Plus have sound clinical data that supports their use for the conditions described in the overview.

GLM Omega 3 Plus may help you....

• Stop the progression of connective tissue disease
• Encourage healing of arthritic or sore joints
• Reduce joint inflammation and increase joint lubrication

The Green Lipped Mussel is unique to New Zealand and has gained reputation worldwide as an effective anti-inflammatory and natural pain reliever, supporting connective tissue and joint mobility

Our R & D people successfully combined 500mgs of a special high potency extract of this Green Lipped Mussel, plus 2,500mgs of Omega 3/DHA Esters and some natural beeswax in to 3 soft gels of GLM Omega 3 Plus

The New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus) which we use in GLM Omega 3 Plus is unique to New Zealand and has gained reputation worldwide as it may contain a prostaglandin inhibitor that exerts anti-inflammatory effects beneficial to joint health.

New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel is used for symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Researchers report that an extract of New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel reduced symptoms in dogs with advanced arthritis. (For a summary of another animal study carried out by the University of Otago in New Zealand please click here).
The mussel is harvested whole. The meat is then removed, dried and powdered and usually sold as Green Lipped Mussel extract. However, this method does not actually provide a true extract.

Only one company has the technology to extract a true concentrated extract from the shell. This company is in Christchurch, New Zealand (only a few minutes away from our own facility). They extract the active ingredients, keeping all the active lipids intact, and end up with a 5:1 ratio enabling the usual 2,500mgs potency offered by other extracts to be concentrated into just 500mgs.

What is GLM-Omega 3-Plus?
GLM-Omega 3-Plus is a comprehensive natural formula to combat mild joint pain and inflammation. If you suffer from those niggling joint aches and pains that are not severe enough for specific arthritis medication, this is for you.

What are the benefits of taking GLM-Omega 3-Plus?
GLM-Omega 3-Plus provides help for niggling joint aches and pains that would normally be ignored and left to develop into a more serious condition. It contains Green-Lipped Mussel that has been sourced and uniquely manufactured by Xtend-Life experts. GLM-Omega 3-Plus is a natural product providing high strength anti-inflammatory action, with the added benefits of our high strength Omega 3/DHA.

A complete formula for inflammation such as sore knuckle joints etc, without side effects!

How does the Green Lipped Mussel work?
Green Lipped Mussel contains essential fatty acids to reduce inflammation, along with Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulfate which are important for cartilage and may assist in joint repair. It works by affecting the inflammatory pathway of prostaglandin and leukotriene metabolism and inhibiting the inflammatory responses.

Are my aches and pains signs of impending arthritis or another degenerative disease?
Aches and pains can occur for many reasons and do not always mean that you will develop a chronic condition. However, regular niggling aches, pains and stiffness can be an indication of a potential condition and early treatment may help to prevent this.

Is GLM-Omega 3-Plus safe to use?
Yes. GLM-Omega 3-Plus is made of 100% natural high potency Green-Lipped Mussel extract in a suspension of pure molecularly distilled New Zealand Omega 3 fish oil. It contains no pharmaceutical ingredients and therefore does not require a prescription.

How many bottles do I need to purchase to see a difference and how long will it take GLM-Omega 3-Plus to work?
To see the best and most rapid results we suggest that you follow our 'recommended protocol’ suggestion of 3 soft gels per day, which equates to 1 bottle per month. It is ok to double that dose rate for a couple of months if necessary.

How can your formula be so pure and effective at such a comparatively low cost?
XtendLife's manufacturing system guarantees all ingredients are fresh and of the best quality.

Are there any discounts for bulk purchases?
Yes, please refer to our Volume Discount page by clicking here.

Are there any side effects associated with taking GLM-Omega 3-Plus?
GLM-Omega 3-Plus is a completely natural product so the potential for negative side effects is greatly reduced, in most cases eliminated. Some people can still have reactions to particular ingredients however and conflicts with prescription medications can occur.

Can GLM-Omega 3-Plus be taken while pregnant or nursing?
We are not able to recommend any of our supplements, other than our Omega 3, to women who are pregnant or nursing. If you are in this situation and wish to take this product please consult your personal physician before use.

Will GLM-Omega 3-Plus interfere with other prescription medications?
Many chemical and synthetic drugs will interfere with natural ingredients and vice versa. Therefore it is always recommended to consult with your physician prior to adding any supplement to your current medication regimen. Alternatively, you may email us with regard to any concerns you may have.

I am taking a NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) prescribed by my GP. Is it safe to take GLM-Omega 3-Plus with this?
As suggested above, our GLM-Omega 3-Plus formula is an all-natural product and should be safe to take with most other pharmaceutical medications. However, as with all medications you should discuss taking this supplement with your physician. We recommend leaving a 3–4 hour gap between taking any prescription medications and taking your supplementation.

I am allergic to shellfish. Will GLM-Omega 3-Plus adversely affect my allergy?
GLM-Omega 3-Plus will unfortunately not be suitable for you as it contains green lipped mussel extract.

I am taking other nutritional supplements and natural medications. Is this ok?
There is generally no problem with taking additional supplements or remedies from other suppliers, although it is usually unnecessary as XtendLife has put together protocols to cover most people's needs. If you do take supplements, it is important to remember though that an excess of additional supplements or some ingredients can potentially cause serious detrimental effects to health. XtendLife product ranges are designed to be taken in combination, eliminating these risks.

What else can I do to help ease my joint pain?
There are many moderate weight-bearing exercises that can be undertaken to help strengthen the muscles, cartilage, tendons and ligaments around the joints and around the bones of the joints themselves to help prevent further damage. These should be undertaken with supervision from your GP or health advisor.

A generally healthy lifestyle is of course important alongside any supplement regime to strengthen your immune system, muscles and circulation. A healthy and balanced diet is of course also important.

Can I get ongoing advice and help from XtendLife?
Yes. XtendLife experts are here to answer any questions you have regarding their products and their uses for your condition. Please contact us anytime for further help.

"...Immediately upon receiving my GLM-Omega 3 Plus on May 22nd I began taking 6 capsules per day along with 6 tablets of Arthrit-Eze per day. By the second day the pain in my knees from osteoarthritis began to diminish....As of Tuesday May 30th, US time, I have resumed walking the stairs of my school without leaning on the handrail and with no pain in my knees.

Since Omega 3 is a product for which you do not recommend we take periodic breaks from using, I plan to continue taking the GLM Omega 3 Plus the next time that I take a two week break from Arthrit-Eze."
