Which New Zealand green lipped mussel oil is best?

I prefer Tripernol, because it is oil in a gelcap, not powder in a capsule (which I have also used alternating with Tripernol). Both forms seem to be effective in helping eliminate my right knee pain. I like what I have read about Tripernol's careful production methods and that it was used in a study which showed improvement in asthma patients' lung function in addition to its anti-arthritis benefits.

The oil is pressed from the nut of the Kukui Nut tree that grows in Hawaii. It's not greasy and is a light oil used on damaged skin like sunburn or psoriasis and eczema. The nut is in the fruit of the Kukui Nut tree.

I'm not sure what is in Omega XL, but I do know that Tripernol is one of the only pure Green lipped Mussel oil from New Zealand that is not from concentrate, or freeze dried. I do believe that this form of Omega acid is superior to fish or krill oil. Hope this helps you. It's a great product and has no aftertaste of "fish burps". FYI, I am in no way affiliated with the company.

Their website has nice info regarding the fish oil and how it compares to other fish oils on the market. Very minimal processing, comes from salmon, if I recall correctly. I did some research before choosing and have been very satisfied.

I've gotten great oils from Aroma Dot on OpenSky.com and also MountainRoseHerbs.com - both of which are 100% organic therapeutic grade.

NOW brand has excellent oils and although the Rose absolute is pre-diluted it remains an exceptional oil of extremely high quality. It's pretty much all I purchase.

The NOW Foods organic oil is very good. I have not used the Josie Maran brand.

I use Spectrum Organic Coconut oil, but there are many brands to choose from. I usually "eyeball" my oil mixtures, but try about 4 tbl. spoons of c. oil + 3-4 drops of essential oil. These oils come with a wonderful booklet with tons of information! Also, this company sells carrier oils as well- lots to choose from with lots of info!

Krill oil has Omega 3 but is not from fish. It does not leave you with a fishy taste in your mouth. Good stuff!

Sukin Rose Hip Oil is fabulous because it is all natural; as it says, nothing artificial in it at all. I've recommended it to so many of my patients and now they all swear by it. Leaves the skin with such a feeling of being incredibly moisturized. Has a wonderful scent and is always fresh! Love it, love it live it.

The gel caps are derived from animal product. The Green lipped Mussel is best when consumed whole to achieve maximum nutritional benefits. Because the mussel contains muccopolysaccarides which is found in all cold blooded creatures, when consumed whole it can help rebuild new cartilage, repair tissue, and recharge the Burris bags in our joints with synovial fluid, it also rejuvenates all of your vital internal organs, that is why the old myth of eating raw oysters will pump up your sexuality also applies to eating uncooked Green Lipped Mussels, essentially it's an anti aging food. The one big side effect of consuming too many capsules is it makes me horny.

This product is molecularly distilled, but I called Solgar recently and they would no release the COA. They said it was "proprietary info." Not really true, but there you are. There are not many wild salmon oils on the IFOS, Barlean's Wild and Whole is the only 100% wild salmon oil I could find there. Carlson's Norwegain (farmed) salmon oil blend is there, but it's mixed with other fish oils. Wild salmon is very clean to begin with, but Solgar does their own additional cleaning and testing to ensure purity, potency, and freshness. If you want the details of how they do this, you can go to their website at solgardotcom. It is too long to post here. Hope that helps.

I have used Green Vibrance for years and decided to try the Maximum. The products are both great but I will continue purchasing the Green Vibrance due to my budget (both are very nutritious). Outstanding company that makes this product. If you are concerned about the price, and your budget is tight, the Green Vibrance is probably a better choice for you.
