Can anyone help with the buying of green lipped mussel tablets?? I've seen a lot of people swear by them and I do prefer more natural remedies Wink
so if I could get hold of good websites or shops to buy larger bottles
and how many to give per day? do you start with a larger amount as with other joint formulas??

I got them from here http://www.zipvit.co.uk/cgi-bin/popupprod3a1.pl?prodcode=A92&cartnumber=21878z&currency= Can't remember how many I gave Rolling Eyes Embarassed but I'm sure Heidi (Marchstone) will be on here before long and will be able to tell you.

I bought them on Heidi's advice and believe they were very helpful. They were needed quickly so I got them at Holland and Barrett.

I used to get them for Dexter (and my Nanna Very Happy ) from healthspan

ETA I think they worked very well for Dexter.... not so sure about my Nanna Rolling Eyes

have only just seen this thread and zipvit is probably the best price from what I have seen so far.

I was advised to give two tablets daily (to the dog!!) for three weeks as a starting dose to reduce down to a maintenance dose of one daily.

It DOES depend on the nautre of the problem as to how you dose and as to whether you need to consider a maintenance dose to aim for. Or if you are giving the tablet for anti-inflammatory effect for a one off episode of pain. (as in lameness that should hopefully disappear after a couple of days).

Vets have reccommended this remedy so you should be able to get more advice on this from your vet. I have used the remedy for years. - dogs love the flavour of them and as a bonus - the cats take them readily too! (though I havent had a huge reason to give them to the cats)

Max was on it for a very long time I used to have a test run of letting him go without tablets to see if they were still working and if he still needed them and he was definitely alot worse when he was off the tablets.

(Max also had omega 3, msm and the usual remedies for joint problems)

Good luck with the problem - is it a longterm problem?

Can anyone advise me about the amount of the Green lipped tablets they would give a Westie each day, as I was telling a friend about it.

Would hate for her to over dose the poor chap.

Thanks if you can give me an answer.

June
