Try Moxxor With Green Lipped Mussel Extract From New Zealand

 

MOXXOR is the most powerful concentrate of all-natural omega-3s and antioxidants on the planet, exclusively from the pristine environment of New Zealand.   The MOXXOR story begins in the spectacular Marlborough Sounds region on the South Island of New Zealand, where the nutrient-rich Tasman Sea and South Pacific Ocean collide. In this pure, natural environment grows perna canaliculus, the New Zealand green-lipped mussel. The extract from these New Zealand green-lipped mussels is the source of the world's most powerful and effective all-natural omega-3 supplement, and is used in formulating MOXXOR.   For over 30 years, scientists and researchers have known of the anti-inflammatory and healing properties of the green-lipped mussel, grown only in New Zealand. These New Zealand green-lipped mussels have the highest natural concentration of omega-3 essential oils on the planet.   Many illnesses can be attributed in part to inflammation. Man-made anti-inflammatory products have proven themselves to be potentially dangerous. Doctors, researchers, and scientists around the globe are recognizing and embracing the significance of omega-3 supplements for heart health, cardiovascular health, joint strength, brain function development, and overall well-being. MOXXOR uses the New Zealand green-lipped mussel extract in its uniquely blended formula for optimal health benefits.

Studies have shown that diets high in omega-3s safely assist in reducing pain and illnesses associated with heart disease, cirrhosis of the liver, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, depression, dry-eye, psoriasis, and allergies.
 

In addition to unadulterated green-lipped mussel oil, our complete wellness product not only is a vital omega-3 source but also contains the world’s preeminent antioxidant. This antioxidant  comes from the husks of sauvignon blanc grape seeds found only in the Marlborough region of New Zealand. Research has shown that antioxidants like those found in MOXXOR effectively combat free radicals and aging. Learn more about the benefits and uses of MOXXOR on our FAQ page.

Serving Suggestion – People:

2 capsules per day taken in the morning is recommended as a daily maintenance

For severe inflammation 8 capsules per day is best; 4 in the morning and 4 late afternoon/early evening. Once the inflammation is under control the patient can back down the amount based on what works best for them until you are taking the 2 per day for maintenance. This trial and error period can take a few days based on how the body responds.

Loading dose of 4 capsules every morning (athletes can do 2 caps 30-60 minutes before working out, 2 caps afterwards helping accelerate recovery times) for ONE MONTH
--Then back down to 2 caps/day, if you notice more discomfort again, increase to 3 caps and see how you feel.

It’s EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND that the human body needs to build up its “RESERVES” OF OMEGA 3’S before noticeable improvement happens or just state of “feeling better” overall.

Best not to take at night as it’s been reported that brain function is clearer/crisper, thus more alert. On the flip side if taken properly many folks notice they sleep better

Serving Suggestion – Pets:

Small animals (dogs and cats) – 1 capsule per 40 pounds. If more than 40 pounds capsules should be taken at the same time, preferably in the morning with their meal.

Horses – 2 to 4 capsules per day depending on the inflammation you are treating.

 

 

The Science

New Zealand

MOXXOR combines the two most powerful all-natural supplements in their class, the preeminent omega-3s extracted from New Zealand green-lipped mussels and the potent antioxidants extracted from New Zealand sauvignon blanc grape seed husks. Both of these natural products come from the pristine Marlborough Sounds region, which enjoys ecological conditions that occur nowhere else in the world.

Omega-3 Research has shown omega-3 to be critical to joint health, respiratory health, cardiovascular health, cholesterol, HDL, and triglyceride levels. Omega-6 and other types of fats in our diets leave our cell membranes rich in precursors associated with inflammatory processes, which can lead to arthritis, asthma, heart disease, depression, and psoriasis. Scientific research indicates that we need to reduce omega-6s and increase omega-3s to improve our health. MOXXOR includes a concentrate of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) extracted from Perna Canaliculus (the New Zealand green-lipped mussel). As shown in the table below, the omega-3 fatty acids found in green-lipped mussels are substantially more effective than those found in other omega-3 oils on the market.  Numerous studies have linked the omega-3 in green-lipped mussels to measurable health benefits, including reduced symptoms of arthritis and osteoarthritis.

Antioxidant

An antioxidant is a biochemical that can neutralize harmful molecules in our bodies known as free radicals. Free radicals are produced during normal metabolism and cell function, as well as pollutants in our air, water and food, and have the ability to oxidize and damage our body's cells. It is for this reason that scientists believe that 5 to 8 servings per day of antioxidant rich fruits and vegetables can benefit your health, but consuming this much on a daily basis can be a challenge at our modern pace of life.

 

Looking to provide a complete world-class wellness product, MOXXOR has added two powerful superfoods. MOXXOR takes the exceptionally potent Sauvignon Blanc grapeseed husk and refines it to capture the world’s preeminent antioxidant along with the powerful immune-support and anti-aging properties of the New Zealand Kiwifruit seed that is teeming with all 8 members of the vitamin E family. Researchers have shown that antioxidants effectively combat free-radicals and aging. The antioxidants found in MOXXOR are free from genetically modified material, heavy metals, arsenic, toxins, and pesticides.

 

A standard known as ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) is often used to compare the relative strength of antioxidants. The acai berry has received considerable attention as a naturally potent antioxidant in recent years, yet as you will see below, it rates significantly lower on the ORAC scale than the MOXXOR grape seed husk extract.

 

Sustainability

The quality and effectiveness of MOXXOR owe much to New Zealand’s pure, pristine environment. The people of New Zealand have put in place stringent regulations to preserve the environment in its natural state.

MOXXOR uses only the highest-quality marine and agricultural products, grown under sustainable farming systems.

Green-lipped Mussels
All green-lipped mussels are grown under a sustainable farming program that ensures the long-term viability of the  industry with minimum impact on the environment. This program ensures the traceability of the mussels from the farm right through to the market.

All mussel farming and processing in the Marlborough Sounds is strictly controlled by New Zealand's Ministry of Agriculture ("MAF") to ensure that the mussels meet the highest international quality standards. The growing waters are monitored daily by an independent party to ensure that the mussels are grown naturally in clean waters.

The New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture has a memorandum of understanding with the USFDA to guarantee the quality of mussels exported from New Zealand to the United States of America. 

Grape Seed Extract
All grapes in Marlborough are grown under a sustainable viticulture program that ensures the long-term viability of the wine industry with minimum impact on the environment. This program ensures the traceability of the grapes from the vineyard right through the winemaking process.

Thanks to the quality of the growing method and environment, the grapes produce very high levels of natural antioxidants. A natural process is used to manufacture the extract from the seeds of these grapes. The extract is then carefully preserved to maximize the antioxidant value.

5/1/2006 - Beneficial effects of a novel IH636 grape seed proanthocyanidin extract in the treatment of chronic pancreatitis
Oxygen-derived free radicals mediate tissue damage in acute and chronic pancreatitis. The addition of a commercially available IH636 grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (commercially known as ActiVin) to their treatment regimen led to a reduction in the frequency and intensity of abdominal pain as well as resolution of vomiting in 1 patient.
