Joint Rejuvenate or Antinol?

Hi! My name is John Stewart. I'm the veterinary surgeon husband of Sue Stewart, and she is the general manager and owner of Arthritis Treatments. That's the business that has as its flagship product joint rejuvenate, which is a New Zealand high-grade biologically active New Zealand green lipped mussel product.

Now, one of the things that I thought was worth a bit of a rant about was, uh, we've seen come on to the market in recent times a product called Antinol. Now, Antinol is the lipid fraction, so it's an oil fraction of New Zealand green lipped mussel, which is a therapeutically, I guess, end from a food additive point of view. It came to the notice of New Zealand scientists many years ago, 40 years ago that coastal maoris have less arthritis in their old age than do inland maoris. And when they looked at all the factors that contributed to this, they found that it was associated with the fact that the coastal maoris ate a lot of the green mussel shellfish, or the "meat inside the shellfish"...and that's one of the things that was keeping their joints in good order into their old age. So Joint Rejuvenate.. Why would you choose just to use get the oil fraction with a lot? There is a lot of the good stuff in the oil fraction, but there's also useful stuff in the carbohydrate fraction. And there may actually be useful stuff in the, um the protein fraction, as well, and we know that green mussels are a source of copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt, selenium as trace elements. So, my argument to the veterinary practices that are buying from us, or the individual owners that are buying from us, is why would you want to buy just the oil fraction when you can have the whole green lipped mussel lyophilized freeze dried powder, where you get the lipid the carbohydrate and the protein fraction, and all the good stuff in each of those fractions, which contributes to its therapeutic effect on joints?
