Therapeutic Features

The anti-inflammatory properties of Mobicosa are thought to be enhanced by this process due to the presence of ETA's (Eicosatetraenoic acid), EPA's (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA's (Docosahexaenoic acid).
Essential Fatty Acids
Mobicosa contains high levels of Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids. These are essential in the diet for good health, contributing to everything form healthy skin to brain function.
Mobicosa contains Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA). EPA promotes healthy skin and connective tissue and has some anti-inflammatory action. DHA is essential for brain function and the nervous system.

It is the ETA that gives Mobicosa the majority of it's analgesic or pain relieving properties.
Folklore and History
New Zealand Greenlipped Mussels, used to produce Mobicosa, are grown in the clean pristine waters of New Zealand.

The New Zealand Government regulations ensure that Mobicosa does not fall below the standards set by the New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Certified requirements.
Green lipped Mussels have been used as a dietary supplement for years. Its anti-inflammatory and joint rebuilding properties have been long suspected and the subject of research. The most notable, was a report titled New Research and a Clinical Report on the Use of Perna Canaliculus [the only ingredient in Mobicosa] in the Management of Arthritis by R. Kendall et al, published in Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients- July 2000.

Other Ingredients
Directions
Initially, according to the manufacturer and as specified on the label, you will need to take a loading dose of Mobicosa for the first 10 days, the loading dose is 4-8 Mobicosa capsules with food. Generally it is best to take half the daily dose of Mobicosa with breakfast and the other half with your evening meal, however if your particular circumstances make this difficult, it is fine to take the entire dose at one time. The daily Mobicosa dose of 2-4 capsules can then be increased or decreased as required to achieve optimal symptomatic relief according to your specific needs. The most common reason for Mobicosa not working is not taking enough. However once you have reached the point where your symptoms are effectively being managed you can, if you want, slowly cut back the amount of Mobicosa you take until you reach the minimal amount of Mobicosa that relieves your symptoms.
Each Mobicosa bottle contains 80 x 500mg capsules, so for the first month it is best to start off with 2 bottles of the Mobicosa capsules to ensure that there is no interruption. After the initial loading dose has been achieved then each bottle of Mobicosa will usually last approximately one month.
* Always read the label and use only as directed. If symptoms persist consult your doctor, or health care professional.

Testimonials
I started to take Mobicosa about one and a half years ago after having a lot of pain in my left knee when I walked up the stairs at work. I went to see a specialist and had a dye put into my knee so that he could see what was going wrong. The prognosis? He said that eventually I would need to have knee surgery! Now I don't like taking tablets or capsules - I don't even like taking vitamins and avoid it as much as I can. But I don't like surgery even more. So I agreed to try this Mobicosa that my sister had been raving about and low and behold it worked for me! I was amazed but very happy so one and a half years later I am still taking it although I still need to take 3 capsules a day- but I can walk up stairs!

I started buying the Mobicosa for my husband who was in a terrible state with his arthritis a year ago. He has a lot of back pain and pain in his joints but after taking the mobicosa for a month he was feeling much better, it has reduced his pain down a lot and when you are in so much pain it really counts when you can reduces it. He still has back pain , and I think he always will, but the Mobicosa has really helped him and made a real difference.

Just like to let you know how Mobicosa Capsules have helped me. For approx 3 years I have suffered with arthritis in both my thumbs. It got progressively worse & as a result I had difficulty in writing & picking up small objects. I had swollen thumbs & suffered sharp, stabbing pain on movement also aching, throbbing hands at night. After watching Today Tonight I thought I would try Mobicosa, and after about 2 weeks on the loading dose I had noticed a dramatic difference. I have been virtually pain free for 6 months. Unfortunately I ran out whilst waiting for my order & after a week noticed all those old symptoms creeping back. Luckily my order has arrived & I am back taking Mobicosa & hopefully will be almost pain free in a couple of weeks. It really does work for me.
