Green Eggs is a smart, whole-food approach to arthritis and joint pain. Green Eggs’ 4 simple ingredients promote long-term health by supporting joint mobility, healthy skin and more.
Green Eggs is the natural approach to joint support. Its four simple but powerful ingredients with proven results:
1. Green Lipped Mussels
There are studies being done on Green Lipped Mussel as an alternative for dogs that can’t tolerate the side effects from NSAIDs (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
NSAIDs and Green Lipped Mussels are COX (cyclooxygenase) inhibitors. COX enzymes are responsible for initiating inflammation by irritating immune chemicals called prostaglandins.
Green Lipped Mussels (GLM) house glycosaminoglycans (or GAGs), which includes chondroitin sulfate. Chondroitin helps build and strengthen joint cartilage.
There are also a good source of anti-inflammatory fats in GLM, including EPA and ETA. The mussels in Four Leaf Rover have fats with an average 6-10% content.
In a 2007 study, dogs were given Green Lipped Mussel for 8 weeks. Researchers observed a significant improvement in pain and mobility. Most of the dogs no longer required any pain medication.
Our Green Lipped Mussels are farmed sustainably in clean waters of New Zealand. They are responsibly freeze-dried, a great source of vitamins and minerals and high bioavailable. (See Research Below FAQs)
2. NEM® Eggshell Membrane
NEM® is also rich in glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) including chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid and collagen.
In a 2017 randomized trial, it showed NEM® decreased activity-related joint pain in only 8 days. In other clinical trials pain was shown to decrease in 7 - 10 days.
In addition, NEM® has clinically been proven to help protect joint cartilage.
NEM® comes from healthy human-grade eggs that are typically used for baking foods. Often other eggshell membranes come from thrown out, potentially unhealthy eggs. (See Research Below)
3. Poria Cocos
Poria has been around for thousands of years and used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Poira grows on the roots of trees and not necessarily on the mushroom, it’s a mass of mycelium. It's typically not very high in starch (less than 5%) and abundant in immune-supporting beta-glucans.
Four Leaf Rover's Poria is a minimum 30% beta-glucan.
Poria is used for inflammation, but specifically great for swelling and edema that can often occur on ears and paws. It’s also a good support of skin issues too.
Poira mushrooms are 100% organic and grown on trees.
4. Curcumin
Curcumin is the potent substance in turmeric that everyone loves. It helps promote a good inflammatory response and can support joint health.
To make sure that the Curcumin in Green Eggs is high-quality and highly concentrated, it is carbon-14 tested to make sure it houses at least 95% curcuminoids. making it a highly concentrated source of curcumin.
This testing measures the amount of carbon-14 from a sample from every batch and compares the result to the international standards.
The higher the bio-based carbon, the better we can ensure that the Curcumin is from good and natural sources.
This also makes sure that every jar is synthetic-free, which sets it apart from other products on the market today.
