About Us

Natural Health New Zealand 2002 Ltd...the beginning

Natural Health New Zealand was established in the year 2001 by a group of individuals who after many years of working in the Greenlipped™ mussel industry saw the potential in this unique and rich mollusc and sought to develop a product that utilised the mussel to its full potential, with the emphasis on high quality premium product.

With many competitors in the Nutraceutical industry offering plenty and delivering very little efficacy for the consumer, Natural Health New Zealand decided to devote its time, energy and resources into ensuring our products was delivered in their optimum state.

We continue to invest and educate on this amazing product and believe in disclosing all pertinent information to the consumer on the products we supply.

Product History

From the inception of the mussel industry in the 1950s, Greenlipped™ mussel extracts have been available as a health supplement since the 1970s, and have over thirty years of research to support the benefits provided by turning this seafood into a powder.

The initial years for Natural Health New Zealand were ones of learning and taking inspiration from the great feedback we received from our customers. It was their stories and affirmations that fuelled our desire to bring our Greenlipped™ mussel powder and oil products to the market.

From this, the brands Mobicosa® and Technyflex® were developed. Mobicosa® is a premium joint supplement; for human consumption in the form of a capsule. There is also a Mobicosa® gel and I.C.E strips for aching muscles. Technyflex® has a Feline and Canine product for your companions and an Equine product for horses. These are for animal consumption available in capsule form and powder.

The Technyflex® and Mobicosa® brands invest significantly in quality processing. Our Greenlipped™ mussels are grown and harvested in New Zealand registered marine farms that adhere to the strictest of environmentally sustaining codes.

Having Veterinary Medicine Registrations and Therapeutic Goods Approval is testament of the quality we produce. Greenlipped™ mussels, also known as Perna Canaliculus grow only in the waters of New Zealand, and have an excellent global reputation as the iconic representative of New Zealand seafood.New Zealand provides an ideal environment for this unique mussel species to grow, offering the high quality waters, and an abundance of plankton.

Harvesting and processing the product correctly is crucial to our product. It remains paramount that the full goodness of the product is not lost or ruptured in the processing. The time between the mussels being harvested and then dried is always very minimal.

There are no additives in our 100% Greenlipped™ mussel powder. Mobicosa® and Technyflex® have been, and are continually tested, for their efficacy. Today Natural Health New Zealand focuses on obtaining registrations for animal and human use, so that our products can be delivered anywhere around the world.
