TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil is a premium lipid extract derived exclusively from New Zealand’s green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus)—one of nature’s richest sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Unlike ordinary mussel powders, TURNER captures only the pure oil fraction of the mussel, making it up to 20 times more concentrated and bioavailable.

This rare marine oil contains a full spectrum of omega fatty acids, phospholipids, and bioactive lipids that work in perfect harmony to support joint health, cardiovascular function, brain performance, and whole-body cellular vitality.

Using our proprietary ultrasonic cold-extraction process, we gently release the delicate oils and nutrients from fresh green-lipped mussels without heat, solvents, or oxidation. This method preserves every fragile compound in its natural state, ensuring unmatched potency and purity.

To further enhance protection against oxidative stress, TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil is fortified with our exclusive UAF1000+ super-antioxidant blend, delivering 53 times more antioxidant power than standard fish oil.

The result is the world’s most powerful omega-3 supplement—pure, sustainable, and scientifically advanced, created entirely in New Zealand under the leadership of TURNER founder Noel Turner, the pioneer who first introduced green-lipped mussel oil to the world.

TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil was created by Noel Turner, a New Zealand entrepreneur, ocean pioneer, and founder of TURNER. For more than five decades, Noel has dedicated his life to harnessing the extraordinary health potential of New Zealand’s pristine natural environment.

In the 1970s, Noel was one of the first to develop sustainable aquaculture practices for New Zealand’s native green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus)—a marine superfood found nowhere else on Earth. His deep respect for nature and his relentless curiosity about the connection between nutrition and wellbeing led him to explore how this remarkable shellfish could support human health.

Through years of research, Noel and his team discovered that the true power of the green-lipped mussel lies in its delicate lipid oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, and rare bioactive compounds. Determined to preserve these fragile nutrients in their natural state, Noel developed TURNER’s proprietary ultrasonic cold-extraction process, a gentle, solvent-free method that maintains the oil’s full potency and purity.

This innovation became the foundation of TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil—a breakthrough supplement combining New Zealand’s most potent marine lipids with TURNER’s exclusive UAF1000+ super-antioxidant blend, delivering 53 times more antioxidant protection than standard fish oil.

Today, under Noel Turner’s leadership, TURNER continues to represent the pinnacle of New Zealand science, sustainability, and wellness innovation—bringing nature’s purest nutrients from ocean to capsule, as nature intended.

The green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus)—also known as the green-shelled mussel—is a marine species found only in New Zealand’s pristine coastal waters. It is a true natural treasure, thriving in a unique environment that cannot be replicated anywhere else on Earth.

TURNER’s green-lipped mussels are sustainably cultivated on ropes suspended in the crystal-clear waters of the Marlborough Sounds, a breathtaking region at the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island. These fjord-like inlets are sheltered from harsh ocean currents, creating an ideal environment with clean, nutrient-rich seawater constantly refreshed by the tides.

Here, in one of the purest marine ecosystems in the world, the mussels feed naturally on microscopic plankton and minerals carried by the ocean currents. No artificial feeds, no chemicals, and no pollutants—just the perfect balance of sunlight, seawater, and natural nutrients.

This pristine habitat allows the green-lipped mussel to develop its distinctive emerald-green shell and its extraordinary nutritional profile, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, and unique marine bioactives. Every capsule of TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil begins here, in New Zealand’s untouched waters, where purity and sustainability come first.

The New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) thrives naturally in the nutrient-rich coastal waters surrounding New Zealand. These remarkable shellfish are filter feeders, meaning they sustain themselves entirely by filtering microscopic phytoplankton and minerals from the ocean water.

Carried by powerful ocean currents from the cold, pristine Antarctic waters, this phytoplankton is an exceptionally pure and nutrient-dense food source. It provides the mussels with essential omega fatty acids, amino acids, and trace minerals, which in turn create the unique nutritional profile found in TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil.

What makes this process extraordinary is that it happens completely in harmony with nature. The mussels grow without any artificial feed, antibiotics, pesticides, or additives—relying solely on the nutrients naturally present in the sea. TURNER’s aquaculture practices follow strict environmental management systems, ensuring that every mussel is cultivated sustainably and that the surrounding marine ecosystem remains unspoiled.

The New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) is one of nature’s most extraordinary marine discoveries—renowned for its remarkable ability to support joint health, mobility, and overall wellbeing. Its story began decades ago, when researchers noticed something remarkable among the coastal Māori communities of New Zealand.

Despite their physically demanding lifestyle, the coastal Māori people remained remarkably free from joint discomfort and inflammation, even well into old age. Scientists seeking to understand this phenomenon compared their diet with that of Māori populations living inland. The difference was clear: those living by the sea consumed large amounts of green-lipped mussels, while inland populations did not.

This observation led researchers to uncover that the green-lipped mussel contained unique bioactive compounds—a naturally occurring blend of omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, and specialized marine lipids not found in any other species on Earth. These compounds exhibited powerful anti-inflammatory properties, helping the body maintain healthy joint function, flexibility, and comfort.

What makes the green-lipped mussel even more special is that it is completely unique to New Zealand’s coastal waters, thriving only in its clean, mineral-rich marine environment. The synergy of its rare nutrient profile and the purity of its natural habitat has made it one of the most researched and effective natural joint-support ingredients in the world.

At TURNER, we preserve this natural potency through our proprietary ultrasonic cold-extraction process, ensuring that every capsule of TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil delivers the same purity, power, and natural balance that first amazed scientists decades ago.

TURNER New Zealand ultrasonic cold extraction technology extracts both omega fatty acids, phospholipids, and carotenoid family members in the absence of heat. Fatty acids play a central role in the metabolism of the human organism. They are important as energy carriers, as cell membrane components, and as starting substances for other substances, such as hormones and metabolic products that influence inflammatory reactions.

Omega-3 fatty acids, in particular, occupy a special position among fatty acids because these polyunsaturated fatty acids are essential, i.e., they cannot be produced by the body itself and must be taken in through food or dietary supplements.

Both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential for human life. Both fatty acids interact to control essential processes in the body. One of these is the immune system, which is directly related to a healthy omega-6 to omega-3 balance. It is known that omega-6 starts the inflammatory process, but omega-3 helps to counteract inflammation. So, unsaturated fatty acids need to be supplied through diet or supplements (in the form of oils). Two types of these are omega-6 fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids.

However, both fatty acids must be supplied to the body in a good ratio. Due to the overuse of industrial foods and fatty foods due to refined oils (corn oil, sunflower oil) and meat consumption with corn-fed cattle from factory farms, our body is flooded with omega-6 fatty acids. It can trigger inflammatory reactions in the body in particular. Many people, therefore, without knowing it, do not have an optimal omega-6 to omega-3 balance (25-30:1 or even more unbalanced) in their bodies.

An optimal balance of a 4:1 to 1:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 can help reduce inflammation.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that the body cannot produce on its own—they must come from food or supplementation. However, not all omega-3s are created equal, and their effectiveness depends greatly on the source.

Plant-based omega-3s, found in sources such as flaxseed oil, chia seeds, hemp oil, and walnuts, contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). While ALA is technically an omega-3 fatty acid, the body must convert it into EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)—the two long-chain omega-3s responsible for the most significant health benefits, including heart, brain, joint, and eye health.

The challenge is that this conversion process is extremely inefficient. On average, the human body can convert only 5–10% of ALA into EPA and a mere 2–5% into DHA—and in many people, even less. This means that while plant oils are healthy and beneficial in many ways, they are not an effective or reliable source of EPA and DHA, the omega-3s that truly make a difference in cellular and cardiovascular health.

In contrast, animal-based omega-3s, such as those derived from marine sources like green-lipped mussel oil, already contain EPA and DHA in their active, ready-to-use forms. The body can absorb and utilize these fatty acids directly, without the need for conversion. These long-chain omega-3s are scientifically proven to support cardiovascular function, lower triglycerides and blood pressure, reduce inflammation, and enhance brain and nervous system performance.

TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil provides these vital EPA and DHA fatty acids in their phospholipid form, naturally bound for superior absorption and cellular integration—making it far more bioavailable and effective than standard fish or plant oils.

TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil contains a pure and potent marine lipid extract derived from the New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus)—a natural source of over 30 different omega fatty acids, including the highly beneficial EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in their most bioavailable phospholipid form.

Because omega-3 fatty acids are extremely delicate and reactive, they can oxidize quickly when exposed to air, heat, or light. This is why TURNER takes extraordinary care in every stage of production to protect these fragile oils from oxidation and preserve their full potency.

Our extraction process uses a proprietary ultrasonic cold-extraction technology, which gently releases the oil from fresh green-lipped mussel tissue without heat, pressure, or solvents. This ensures that every molecule of the oil remains pure, active, and exactly as nature intended.

Once extracted, the oil is immediately encapsulated in an oxygen-free environment using bovine gelatin sourced from 100% New Zealand pasture-raised cattle. These airtight capsules protect the sensitive marine lipids from exposure to oxygen, maintaining their freshness and stability all the way to your hands.

Because TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil contains natural, unprocessed mussel oil, you may notice a subtle marine aroma when opening the capsules. This is completely normal—and a reassuring sign of authenticity and purity. It indicates that the product contains genuine, natural green-lipped mussel oil, free from artificial fragrances, flavorings, or masking agents.

Every batch of TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil reflects our commitment to absolute purity, freshness, and integrity—delivering New Zealand’s most powerful natural source of omega-3 directly to your body.

The lipid extract from green-lipped mussels is rich in phospholipids. Phospholipids are the main component of our cell membranes and essential for our cell health. We also add natural Astaxanthin from the blood rain algae to the product. The carotenoids contained in Astaxanthin are potent antioxidants with multiple benefits. The combination of Green-Lipped Mussel Oil, Astaxanthin, and UAF1000+® plant extracts make TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil exceptional.

No — TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil does not cause any fishy aftertaste, reflux, or unpleasant belching that many people experience with conventional fish oil supplements.

The reason lies in both the purity of the oil and the quality of our encapsulation process. TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil contains pure green-lipped mussel oil, not oxidized or refined fish oil. Because it’s extracted through our proprietary ultrasonic cold-extraction method, the oil remains exceptionally fresh, stable, and gentle on the stomach. There are no rancid residues or synthetic additives that could cause unpleasant side effects.

Additionally, each softgel is airtight and oxygen-sealed in premium bovine gelatin capsules made from New Zealand pasture-raised cattle. This prevents oxidation and eliminates the strong odor or taste often associated with marine oils.

The capsules themselves are small, smooth, and easy to swallow, making daily supplementation effortless and comfortable—even for those sensitive to typical fish oils. What you’ll notice instead is a clean, neutral experience with all the benefits of high-quality omega-3s—without any of the drawbacks.

The deep, rich color of TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil capsules is a natural hallmark of their purity and potency. Unlike typical golden-yellow fish oil capsules, which are often highly refined and diluted, TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil is a pure, undiluted phospholipid oil—extracted directly from New Zealand green-lipped mussels and protected by our exclusive UAF1000+® super-antioxidant blend.

At TURNER, we never add artificial colors, bleaching agents, or fillers to alter the natural appearance of our products. The dark hue you see is simply the true color of nature’s most powerful marine oil, preserved in its original form.

• Phospholipid-rich marine lipids, which are naturally darker than the triglyceride oils found in standard fish oils.
• Astaxanthin, a potent red-orange antioxidant carotenoid that gives the oil its reddish undertone and helps protect it from oxidation.
• UAF1000+® (Ultimate Antioxidant Factor), our proprietary blend of dark-colored plant extracts from fruits, herbs, and vegetables, which contributes additional depth to the oil’s natural black-gold appearance.

Because TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil is a true natural product, slight variations in color from batch to batch are perfectly normal. These subtle differences reflect the natural diversity of the mussels and plant extracts used—just as fine wine or olive oil varies slightly with each harvest.

The dark color tells you that the oil has not been bleached, filtered, or mixed with carrier oils like olive or canola. What you see is exactly what nature created: a pure, concentrated, and antioxidant-rich supplement that delivers the full strength of New Zealand’s marine nutrients—completely untouched by artificial additives.

We use gelatin softgels because they provide the best natural protection for delicate marine oils. Gelatin creates an airtight, oxygen-resistant seal that keeps the oil stable, prevents oxidation, and extends shelf life — all without synthetic coatings or plasticizers.

Our gelatin is bovine-sourced and 100% free from pork, non-GMO, and meets international pharmaceutical standards — chosen for performance, not shortcuts.

To preserve maximum freshness and potency, store TURNER Green-Lipped Mussel Oil in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. There’s no need to refrigerate it, but keeping the bottle in a cool environment (below 25 °C / 77 °F) can further protect the delicate omega-3 oils. Always make sure the cap is tightly sealed after use to prevent oxidation. Avoid storing it near ovens, windows, or in your car — temperature swings and light exposure can degrade the natural marine lipids and antioxidants.

For best results, use within three months of opening the bottle.

Take 2–4 capsules daily with food. For faster results or during times of discomfort, you may take up to 6 capsules per day.

Absolutely. It supports joint recovery, reduces post-exercise inflammation, and improves mobility — perfect for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and active lifestyles.
