Product Effectiveness

Research has proved that Biolane^® Extract is a safe, effective long-term joint health solution for humans and animals.

Biolane^® acts at the source of joint problems to relieve symptoms of Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis, and provides many low-level activities that offer safe, long-term benefits.

30 years of research

30 years of scientific research has shown that Biolane® effectively:

• Reduces pain and enhances joint mobility
• Is chondroprotective (protects joint cartilage)
• Is gastroprotective (protects the stomach)
• Is anti-inflammatory
• Improves joint lubrication and microcirculation (circulation in the capillaries)
• Aids muscle recovery and sport endurance

These research studies date from 1976 to 2006. They were all conducted specifically on Biolane® Extract, so results cannot be generalised to mussel products made by other manufacturers.

The ACCMER paper

A key Biolane^® study is the ACCMER (Australian Centre for Complementary Medicine Education and Research) paper. This was a comparative study that showed that BiolaneTM Extract had a more extensive range of anti-arthritic activities than either glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, or green lipped mussel oil.

This study was presented to OARSI (Osteoarthritis Research Society International) in Boston in December 2005. In the presentation, ACCMER used Biolane® Extract as an example of an ideal anti-arthritis agent.

Other Clinical Research

Several other published clinical papers have shown that Biolane^® is effective in treating Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis (Osteo arthrosis).

Clinical Research with Dogs

Published research also proves Biolane^® Extract’s effectiveness in dogs.

One such study was published in the NZ Veterinary Journal in June, 2006. It involved 84 dogs with Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD), and used a double blind, placebo-controlled structure.

78% of the Biolane^® dogs improved, leading researchers to conclude that Biolane^® has a “significant beneficial effect on dogs with DJD”.

About Biolane^® Extract

Biolane^® Extract is manufactured using a unique, protected process that was developed specifically to produce a highly-active, therapeutic joint product.

The process takes fresh, live, peak condition mussels, then processes them through a cold extraction system, under important time and temperature parameters.

The resulting Biolane^® Extract can help to prevent and slow age- and arthritis-related joint deterioration.
