Sharing

the goodness

 

We capture nature’s healing

properties of our New Zealand

green-lipped mussels and create

natural health products that

enable people to live well.

 

 

Harnessing nature’s

nutrients

 

 

Green lipped mussels are renowned for

their anti-inflammatory properties that

are beneficial in the management of

various health conditions. Our unique

patented processes enable us to maximise

the preservation of these properties and

create the highest quality product.

 

 

Farming without

a trace

 

We grow our green-lipped mussels in

the pristine waters of the Marlborough

Sounds, Tasman Bay and Golden Bay.

As filter feeders they receive all their

nutrients from the seawater – nothing

else needs to be added. Growing

green-lipped mussels is highly

sustainable with low environmental impact.
