What is the farming and processing of MOXXOR’s Green Lip Mussels?
Moxxor owns and operates its own mussel farms, allowing us to maintain quality control over all aspects of the manufacturing process. From the farming of the raw mussels to our unique VPP cold processing technology and stabilization that protects the omega 3s in the finished product, our customers are guaranteed to receive the world's freshest and most powerful omega-3 extract.
All mussel farming and processing in the Marlborough Sounds region is strictly controlled by New Zealand's Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries ("MAF") to ensure that the mussels conform to the highest quality standards. The Marlborough Sounds are monitored daily by an independent third party to ensure that all mussels are grown naturally in clean, unpolluted waters, with no artificial or forced feeding.
The mussels from which Moxxor is extracted take roughly a year to grow to the desired length of 80mm. Upon harvest they are rushed to the factory and processed immediately, to ensure that all the important fats within the mussels are fully protected.
The mussels are stabilized and then dried according to a proprietary process which safeguards the extraction of the omega-3s from the mussel. The processing plant conforms to the highest quality control standards, which are strictly regulated and enforced by MAF on behalf of the United States' FDA and EU authorities. Once the mussels have been freeze dried and converted into powder, they are shipped to our factory for the extraction of MOXXOR.
