Historical origin
The New Zealand green-lipped mussel:
main ingredient in PERNATON® for over 20 years
For several thousands of years the green-lipped mussel has been one of New Zealand's staple foods.
After several years of intensive research, the Original Perna Extract (100% New Zealand green-lipped mussel extract) was developed in 1996 and has been the main ingredient of all PERNATON® products ever since.
