The mussels from which Omega XL is extracted take around a year to grow to the desired length of 80mm. The mussels are suspended from long-lines supported by buoys and never touch the ocean floor. The mussels are sorted aboard a harvesting barge to ensure only the highest quality mussels are processed to extract Omega XL. The sorting process utilizes a patented process that enables testing and screening of mussels prior to harvesting to identify those mussels which are rich in free fatty acids, providing Omega XL with the finest quality green lipped mussels for processing. After the mussels are harvested, they are rushed to the factory and processed immediately to ensure that the beneficial properties are fully protected. The mussels are stabilized and then freeze dried according to a patented process which is essential for the subsequent extraction of the lipids in the mussel. The processing plant conforms to the highest quality control standards, which are strictly regulated by the M
