Pernaton Gel Forte – Product Review

I love to discover new products, like Pernaton Gel Forte. Inside the BlogOn goody bag was a sample of this. It’s been a godsend for Mr B’s back. He’s suffered from a bad back for many years. Long before we got together, and a back rub or massage helps a lot to calm his muscles.

What is Pernaton Gel Forte?

Pernaton Gel Forte can provide relief from aching muscles. It is suitable for those with medical conditions which result in sore or aching muscles and joints.  It’s great for using after sports or exercise when massaged into the skin. This can aid in training recovery.

The product contains the added ingredients of Cayenne Pepper extract and valuable, physiologically active essential oils. The gel creates a lasting and pleasantly warm feeling which stimulates muscles and increases circulation in the skin. It’s also parabens-free.

What is special about Pernaton?

The original Perna extract of the New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus) is a natural source of unique, nourishing and regenerative substances and is used in the gel forte.

What Is Pernaton Gel Used For?

Pernaton Gel is primarily used for joint and muscle care. It contains green-lipped mussel extract, which is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. The gel is formulated to aid in the relief of joint pain, improve flexibility, and support connective tissue health. It is often used by athletes before and after exercise to help with muscle recovery and to soothe tired muscles. Additionally, the gel can be beneficial for individuals experiencing general muscle and joint discomfort, promoting relaxation and recovery.

What Are Green Lipped Mussels?

Green-lipped mussels, scientifically known as Perna canaliculus, are a species of edible mussel native to New Zealand. They are named for their distinctive green edges on the shell and are highly regarded for their nutritional and health benefits.

What Are Green-Lipped Mussels Good For?

1. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Green-lipped mussels contain omega-3 fatty acids and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which can help reduce inflammation in the body, making them beneficial for conditions like arthritis.
2. Joint Health: They are often used as a natural supplement to support joint health and improve mobility, particularly in individuals with osteoarthritis or other joint-related issues.
3. Rich in Nutrients: Green-lipped mussels are a good source of protein, vitamins (such as B12), minerals (like zinc and iron), and antioxidants, contributing to overall health.
4. Heart Health: The omega-3 fatty acids found in these mussels can support cardiovascular health by helping to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
5. Muscle Recovery: Athletes and active individuals may use green-lipped mussel supplements to aid in muscle recovery and reduce soreness after exercise.
6. Digestive Health: Some studies suggest that the extract may improve gastrointestinal symptoms, providing additional digestive support.

These benefits make green-lipped mussels a popular choice in dietary supplements and health products aimed at improving joint function and overall wellness.

What did we think?

When I opened the cap, the warming smell of the gel hit me. It’s really pleasant and comforting, but not overpowering at all.

I’ve been using the product on Mr B’s lower back now for just over a week. We haven’t used it every day, but it’s helped to relax his muscles where he has a niggling pain. It’s a perfect gel consistency to massage into the lower back and hip joint area. You can feel it penetrate deep into the tissue as it works its way in to help increase circulation and stimulate the muscles.

Mr B is a huge fan of the Pernaton Gel Forte and will be a long term user of it. It’s helped him out loads. If he’s happy, then I’m happy!
