I prefer to take them before eating or with food to prevent occasional aftertaste issues. Mussels are a food so it’s kind of moot.
Re: the green lipped mussel supplement:
I was thinking perhaps it would help my husband with the cartilage issues in his knees. He also has had gout, and has to avoid shellfish, including mussels, due to the purines they contain. Iām guessing this supplement would contain them as well. š
