Liprinol

The Maori actually boast strong muscles and joints. In particular, the upper body is large and hypertrophied. Curiously, compared to inland residents, the incidence of arthritis among Māori is significantly lower. Scientists refer to this as the "green-lipped mussel effect." Green-lipped mussels are unique to New Zealand's Marlborough Coast and are rich in anti-inflammatory properties that fight arthritis. The green-lipped mussels eat and accumulate antioxidants produced by plankton through the ultraviolet rays that shine strongly throughout the year.

I Wonder of Riprinol

Clinical trial effectiveness

The efficacy of liprinol has been shown in several clinical trials. In a human trial conducted by Glasgow Victoria Infirmary on 28 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 38 patients with osteoarthritis, they showed improvement rates of 76% and 45%, respectively. A German trial of patients with inflammatory arthritis also showed a 44% reduction in pain and a 62% reduction in medication. This means that glucosamine, which is commonly used as a treatment for arthritis, is only effective against degenerative arthritis, while liprinol is effective against both degenerative arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

In an experiment comparing EPA with other fish-based EPA and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as evening primrose oil, salmon oil, and linseed oil, liprinol was 250~300 times more effective. A placebo-controlled, double-blind trial of liprinol conducted by Professor George Halfen of the University of California and Dr. Lowe Chek Singh of Queen Mary Hospital, University of Hong Kong, demonstrated safety against adverse effects.

For example, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause gastrointestinal side effects when taken for a long time, but the conclusion was that rifrinol was safe. Therefore, liprinol has been used as a joint improver for more than 10 years in more than 20 countries around the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the EU.

Protect your joints

In 2014, 4,416,800 people visited hospitals for arthritis. This is a 14% increase from 2010 (3,882,900). In terms of gender, women (68 percent) are twice as likely as men (32 percent), and by age, they are in their 60s (27 percent), 50s (26 percent), 70s (24 percent), and 40s (12 percent). It is caused by menopause in women, weight gain from the age of 40, degenerative changes, and loss of muscle strength in the lower body.

This is because the 140 or so joints in our body move about 100,000 times a day. If you use it 100,000 times every day for 40 years, it's a wonder your joints don't wear out. That's why it's so important to keep your joints healthy from a young age. Once damaged, a joint cannot be regenerated, and there are no obvious subjective symptoms until almost 70% of the time it is worn out.

Fortunately, arthritis is preventable. You can't eat green-lipped mussels raw like the Maori do, but you can follow these rules: First, maintain a standard weight. Second, exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. Third, quit smoking (smoking doubles the risk of arthritis). Fourth, avoid the same position or heavy objects for a long time. Fifth, get an early diagnosis of joint symptoms. Sixth, prevent joint disorders and complications through consistent treatment and self-care.
