Beneficial Mollusk

Maximum quality thanks to Perna extract

Perna Canaliculus is a mollusk cultivated along the coasts of New Zealand, where farming is carried out under strictly controlled conditions in an eco-biological coastal habitat. The mollusk undergoes a processing method that allows for the production of pure extract. To achieve this, harvesting takes place after 24 months, at the peak of their sexual maturity. This is the perfect period as they contain a high amount of nutrients. To ensure these substances are preserved, it is essential to process the mollusk immediately after harvesting and away from heat sources. To obtain a stabilized product, specific treatments are performed: drying, pulverizing, freeze-drying, and finally, extraction. One of the most important factors is the quality of the waters where the mollusk is raised; these are monitored to guarantee international quality standards by the New Zealand Ministry of Health, the US Food and Drug Administration, and the European Union.

Each produced lot undergoes testing for impurities related to environmental factors that could cause disease. For over 15 years, the original Perna extract has been the main ingredient of the PernaLife® line.

The original extract in PernaLife® provides numerous benefits for those suffering from: rheumatism, osteoarthritis, joint damage, osteoporosis, and joint wear in the hands, arms, shoulders, knees, spine, and meniscus damage. It is useful for athletes whose muscles and joints are constantly under strain. The presence of GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS (natural substances concentrated mainly in cartilage) allows for the treatment of all connective tissue damage, improving and regenerating the quality of the cartilage.
