Promotes Healthy Joint & Mobility Functions


Lyprinex™ is the Life Plus International brand of Lyprinol, a unique whole lipid extract from the Green Lipped Mussel Perna canaliculus containing a unique group of Eicosatetraenoic Acids (ETA's). In animal studies, it was shown that the unique lipids in LYPRINEX were substantially more potent than those in other oils such as Evening Primrose Oil, Flax Oil, Salmon and other Fish Oils, and more potent than other extracts.

In addition to its unique group of PUFA's, LYPRINEX provides a significant 2-to-1 overall ratio of Omega 3's to Omega 6's. The concentrated lipid fraction from the Green Lipped Mussel in LYPRINEX has an amazing 10-to-1 ratio of Omega 3's to Omega 6's. This unique group of PUFA's are stabilized with the antioxidant Vitamin E, and formulated in an Olive Oil carrier.

Years of exhaustive and tedious research in New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Europe have led to this unique highly concentrated and stabilized oil, which has been described in the scientific literature as Lyprinol. Independent research shows that LYPRINEX may play an important role in maintaining normal healthy joint function.

Why use Lyprinex

The manufacturer of the Lyprinol® contained in Life Plus’ LyprinexTM uses a patented extraction process to stabilize the oil derived from the green- lipped mussels to maximize its beneficial qualities. Lyprinex blocks the cox and lox pathways to an extent, thereby blocking or reducing the formation of leukotrienes and prostaglandins which are associated with joint pain.

This is different than glucosamine or chondroitin sulfates, which increase the supply of these elements in your body and support the molecules that provide lubrication to your joints. Lyprinex comes in small, easy-to-swallow caplets, thus providing a convenient way to supply additional support to your joints and connective tissue so they can maintain youthful ease and range of movement and flexibility.*

Scientific Literature

As published scientific information regarding the Lyprinol in LYPRINEX is released, Life Plus International will endeavor to make this public information accessible, in accordance with the provisions of DSHEA (Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act of 1994).

To cite an example, a portion of the scientific work on Lyprinol has already been published in a paper presented at the 88th Annual Meeting & Expo of the American Oil Chemists' Society, May 11-14, 1997, in Seattle, Washington.

In the United States as well as several other countries, LYPRINEX is exclusively available from Life Plus International.

General Fatty Acid Overview

Fatty Acids, and particularly Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs), are nutritional substances that have two or more double bonds whose locations are of great interest. Counting from the "ends", and using the Greek letter Omega or w (designating "last" or "end"), Omega 3's have one of their double bonds on the third carbon from the end; Omega 6's, on the sixth carbon from the end. In the twenty or "Eicosa" carbon fatty acids, materials with four (tetra) double bonds are of interest.

The body can utilize one of these Eicosatetraenoic Acids (ETAs), Arachidonic Acid (very specifically, an Omega 6), in numerous metabolic pathways, which can include the formation of end products associated with joint function and gastrointestinal effects. Specific location of the double bonds, then, appears critical.

Omega 3's & Omega 6's

Western diets provide more Omega 6's relative to Omega 3's. Vegetable oils are richer in Omega 6's; fish oils, richer in Omega 3's. Individuals concerned with fatty acid composition are looking for diets rich in Omega 3's. Dietary supplementation can provide such materials in concentrated form, allowing more freedom in food choice.

In animal studies, it was shown that the unique lipids in LYPRINEX were substantially more potent than those in other oils such as Evening Primrose Oil, Flax Oil, Salmon and other Fish Oils, and more potent than other extracts. The concentrated lipid fraction from the Green Lipped Mussel in LYPRINEX has an amazing 10-to-1 ratio of Omega 3's to Omega 6's. This unique group of PUFA's are stabilized with the antioxidant Vitamin E, and formulated in an Olive Oil carrier. The total LYPRINEX formulation provides an overall 2-to-1 ratio of Omega 3's to Omega 6's.

Normal Healthy Joint Function

Based on available and ongoing research, LYPRINEX may play an important role in, among other things, helping to maintain normal joint function. Healthy joint function is dependent upon the action of pathways that deal with internal "cascades" or enzyme-facilitated conversions of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, most especially the Omega 6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid, Arachidonic Acid. These cascades can have a direct bearing on normal healthy joint function.

Lox & Cox-2

These pathways are named after the enzymes controlling them. Specific pathways that can affect joint function are the LOX (lipoxygenase) and COX-2 (cyclo-oxygenase) pathways. These pathways play key roles in supporting normal joint function.

Years Of Scientific Research

The Green Lipped Mussel has been a traditional food of the native tribal Maori people in coastal New Zealand. It has been an excellent source of protein, vitamins and minerals, part of their overall diet in maintaining normal health and well-being. As the habits of the Maoris were exposed to "western" observers, interest developed in Maori health and in this mussel in particular. In the years of investigation, dating from the 1970's and 1980's, attempts have been made to both commercialize the whole marine shellfish, as well as to isolate and commercialize a consistent and suitable extract.

After many years, suitable extraction and stabilization methods have been tediously developed, and protected by patents both granted and pending. In the scientific study on this stabilized and unique whole lipid extract, investigators have described it as "Lyprinol". It is the subject of current scientific publications as well as continuing research. Lyprinol is the registered trademark of Pharmalink® International LTD. Patent No. NZ211928 plus U.S. and International Patents Pending. (PCT/AU96/000564)

TESTIMONIALS: Here what a few people had to say

I've had a pain in my left elbow for roughly 3 months.  The Dr. said I have tennis elbow.  He wrote a scrip for some wild ass anti-inflammatory that included the wonderful side effect of internal bleeding - I looked him square in the eye and said " yeah right, you can write that out but I ain't  filling it

I came home and ordered 4 bottles of  LYPRINEX.  It came in today.  On an empty stomach I took 2 caps.  I hung around for an hour and did some stuff, then went out shopping.  I'm carrying this basket around the store in my left hand as I usually do - and as I was headed for the last aisle I noticed my arm was not hurting under the strain of the basket ( I don't do carts, and I can get a lot of weight in that basket!!) - anyway - I got home and unloaded the bags, cut up dinner and started cooking - all the while realizing my elbow pain was nearly gone.  I called Don to tell him.

Don says - "It's like taking aspirin for a headache" - what is meant by that is the speed of the action is the same - at least for me.  I gotta believe it would be the same for many others too."  Bill Sheaffer

Recently, for no apparent reason, I woke with a real soreness in my achilles tendon area. I limped throughout the day. Going up and down stairs was a problem, and I must have looked like 'Peg legged Pete'. To compound the problem I played five long, hard games of squash that night (don't ask why, or how...I'm a squash nut, what can I say?). Afterward, I was thinking, 'Why did I do that to myself?' The soreness was worse than ever. I told my wife that I would probably be calling in sick to work tomorrow because I didn't think I would be able to walk well enough to work.

The day that I awoke with the achilles tendon problem I took two Lyprinex tablets. When I awoke the next day, the pain was 100% gone! I could hardly belive it! I was 100% pain free. I worked all day, walking over five miles. I'm a real believer in Lyprinex."  Santokh Khalsa

"I am so excited with Lyprinex.  I was not able to straighten my arm because of stiffness.  I took two Lyprinex capsules.  I repeated this before bedtime.  The next morning, my elbow was  like its old self again."  G. K., Ephrata, WA
