The
discovery was made in the late 1960’s when NASA Researchers in the USA looking
for anti-cancer agents originating from the sea. The New Zealand Green Lipped
mussel was included in this programme because it was unique and is only found
in New Zealand waters. It is important to note that the mussel DID NOT prove to
be a possible treatment for cancer BUT the research DID indicate that the
green-lipped mussel (GLM) demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory
activities.
As
anti-inflammatory drugs are used to treat arthritis, it was then thought that
an extract of the green-lipped mussel (GLM) might prove a valuable treatment
for this very prevalent, quality of life diminishing condition. The McFarlane
company in NZ then developed a unique method to extract active GLM hence Active
Green Lipped Mussel Extract (GLME). The first clinical study was done in 1980a
and by the mid 1980’s, active GLME had been successfully recognized and
marketed internationally. In 1999, a large pharmaceutical company called
Healtheries purchased the unique process and branded active GLME as Biolane®.
The
unique ingredient now so well known in over 25 countries worldwide to provide
anti-arthritic relief is guaranteed by the Biolane® logo.
