What is Green-Lipped Mussel?
Green Lipped Mussel powder is a natural ingredient derived from the Perna canaliculus species of mussel, which is found in the coastal waters of New Zealand. The powder is made by gently drying and grinding the whole mussels, which preserves the natural nutrient content of the mussels. It has a light, mild flavor and can be easily incorporated into a variety of foods and supplements.
Green Lipped Mussel powder is a rich source of marine protein, minerals, and essential amino acids. It is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and joints.

The powder can also be added to homemade skincare products for a natural source of marine nutrients.
The powder is also a natural, sustainable and ethical ingredient. The Green Lipped Mussels are sourced from the pristine coastal waters of New Zealand, and the harvesting process is done under strict regulations to ensure that the mussels are sustainably harvested and that the ecosystem is protected.
The powder is available in various grades, depending on the intended use. It is available in fine, medium, and coarse grades.

Product Questions:
What quality documents can you provide?
- Certificates of Analysis (COA)
- MSDS
- Allergen & pesticide statements
What is the difference between powder, 4:1, %, etc?
Whole herbs and extracts are both very different products.
Whole botanicals in some cases contain every part of a botanical including roots or stems while extract contains a specific botanical compound and is measured to a specific amount.
Extracts come with standards set by potency percentage so your order will always match what was advertised.
NutriCargo Whole Ingredients (do not have % or ration in their name)
A whole ingredient contains the entire botanical, including the roots, stem, flower etc.
NutriCargo Extracts
Extracts contain specific compounds extracted from the botanical. These compounds are denoted by the “%” sign.
Herbal extracts are often “standardized” to contain a certain amount of a compound or active ingredient. Standardization ensures that every batch of a botanical extract contains the same amount of the advertised compound. For example, Acerola 10% may be standardized to 10% vitamin C. Every batch of that product will have at least 10% of that active compound.
NutriCargo Extract Ratios
Ratio extracts are denoted by the ratio in their product name. For example 4:1, 5:1, 10:1 etc.
If it’s a 4:1 extract, for example, that means that four parts of the original plant are going into one part of the final extract, making it a concentrated powder.
Think of it this way: Ratio of dry plant material (X) to final extract quantity(Y).
X : Y
Y = weight of dry plant material
X = weight or volume of extract (depending upon whether the extract is a solid/dry extract or a liquid extract)
The concept here is that the essential activity of the dry plant material (X) is found in the quantity of extract (Y). Or in other words, Y quantity of the extract is equivalent to X quantity of the dry plant.
For example, a botanical ingredient listed as a 4:1 extract means that 4 kg of raw herbs were extracted down to 1 kg of dried powdered extract.
What type of quality control measures does NutriCargo take?
- The institution of an internal Quality Control Program to ensure that products are free of toxins and undesired by-products.

- HPTLC (High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography) testing for initial approval and supply of materials.
- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) testing for powder extracts.
- Prevention of all sub-potent and contaminated materials from entering the products.
- Regular testing for proper identification and chemical efficacy.
