A SECRET FROM THE SEA
The Maoris, New Zealand's aboriginal people, have always intrigued with their ancestral customs and impressive tattoos. customs and their impressive tattoos. It is only much more recently that the attention of attention of ethnologists has been drawn to a feature as unexpected as it is surprising
Even in old age, the Maori seemed immune to joint disease.
It is quite natural that researchers were interested in the diet of these warriors, which consisted mainly of fish products, and in particular a mussel endemic to the which consisted mainly of fishery products, and more particularly of an endemic mussel with green lips: the Perna canaliculus. the Perna canaliculus.
Since then, countless studies have demonstrated its beneficial action in the fight against joint degeneration. degeneration. Its powerful anti-inflammatory effect and its capacity to regenerate synovial secretion are proven, but no researcher has yet succeeded in demonstrating its mode of action, nor in isolating the Nevertheless, no researcher has yet succeeded in highlighting its mode of action, nor isolated the active principles at the origin of these effects. active ingredients that are responsible for these results.
If the secret of the Maoris is now known, the mode of action of Perna canaliculus remains, to this day, an enigma. enigma.
For two decades, Sekoya has focused its research on natural ways to combat joint degeneration. degeneration.

We continued to analyse the composition of this mussel, which was little known at the time. An essential quest to understand why Perna Canaliculus brings this joint comfort, while other mussels have no effect. other mussels have no effect. We then found its unique content of glycosaminoglycans(1) and long chain omega. Extensive work on this new data and other promising nutrients led us to perfect our recipe with the support of users who continued to give us feedback. their impressions.

We were looking for natural solutions for all those who suffer from osteoarthritis. We were looking for natural solutions for all those who suffer from osteoarthritis, and this news made a big splash in our house. After a year of research, we had read all the studies on the effect of all the studies on the effect of the Perna Canaliculus mussel and its benefits on cartilage.
From the findings of anthropologists who had highlighted its consumption by the Maoris, to laboratory analyses and clinical examinations of racehorses, all the evidence was positive. clinical examinations carried out on racehorses, all the elements were positive. It took another year of tests to develop our first food supplement based on this mussel, and to obtain the necessary authorisations for its marketing. necessary for its marketing.
Once this first stage was completed, the users of Perna Vitae, the name we had given to our preparation, were were generally delighted. They were happy to have found an effective alternative to medical treatments and recommended the product to their acquaintances. recommended the product to their acquaintances and informed us about their feelings.

THE JOINT RANGE
To maintain flexibilityNormally, articular cartilage acts as a buffer between the bones. It is composed of cells (chondrocytes), a membrane and synovial fluid. This fluid plays several essential roles: it lubricates and cleans the joint and nourishes the cartilage. Over the years or as a result of too much stress, the synovial fluid tends to decrease, the cartilage becomes less flexible and thinner.
