While over-the-counter pain medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) may temporarily relieve the pain, they do not address the underlying cause: local or systemic inflammation. Any injury or infection will cause the body to trigger a response, which is the cause of the pain. In arthritis sufferers, this inflammation-pain signal cycle is never switched off, causing chronic pain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNSAIDs are the usual course of treatment for arthritis, however anyone who has taken these pills long term knows they can come with a host of unpleasant side-effects and are not well tolerated by everyone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKUKU may provide a natural substitute for NSAIDs, without the long term side-effects, when taken regularly over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ:  Are there any side-effects of taking Green Lipped Mussel (GLM) supplements?\u003cbr\u003eA: \u003c\/strong\u003eIf you stick to the recommended dose any side effects of taking GLM supplements are very rare.

This is completely normal, safe, and actually a positive sign of the oil’s quality. A leading independent New Zealand expert on marine oil production explains that slight changes in colour or natural lipid groupings occur when the product is rich in essential fatty acids — the key active components that support joint health. These lipids can naturally concentrate or bind together in the capsule, which is a sign of high-quality, highly bioavailable oil. While the visual appearance may vary slightly between batches, there is no cause for concern. Our view is that this natural variation reflects the richness and integrity of the concentrated oils used in KUKU.\u003cbr\u003eIt is not recommended to take GLM supplements if you have an allergy to seafood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Articles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"related-articles\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.deepbluehealth.co.nz\/blogs\/news\/natural-anti-inflammatory\"\u003eNatural Anti-inflammatory\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.deepbluehealth.co.nz\/blogs\/news\/natural-anti-inflammatory\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Natural Anti-inflammatory\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1826\/8223\/articles\/GlycOmega.jpg?v=1491187874\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"related-articles\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.deepbluehealth.co.nz\/blogs\/news\/grade-3-osteoarthritis-of-the-knee-and-glycomega-plus\"\u003eGrade 3 Osteoarthritis\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.deepbluehealth.co.nz\/blogs\/news\/grade-3-osteoarthritis-of-the-knee-and-glycomega-plus\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1826\/8223\/articles\/SR5.jpg?v=1491187427\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Deep Blue Health","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47693082755390,"sku":null,"price":139.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1826\/8223\/files\/Kuku-GLM-Maintenance-Strength-Oil-Range-Blister-Pack-Box-120-Caps-With-Caps-750x750px.jpg?v=1698620862","url":"https:\/\/www.deepbluehealth.com\/products\/copy-of-kuku-mussel-oil-12-500-maintenance-strength","provider":"Deep Blue Health NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
