Blackmores Lyprinol® is a patented green-lipped mussel oil that may provide symptomatic relief of osteoarthritis.
Lyprinol® helps to reduce inflammation and swelling by directly inhibiting the action of the enzymes involved in the inflammatory pathway called the LOX pathway. By inhibiting this enzyme Lyprinol® can reduce both inflammation and pain, and yet does not interfere with the more positive aspects of the normal inflammatory response.
Blackmores Lyprinol® is Halal certified.
