Green Lipped Mussel(Perna canaliculus) is a shellfish from New Zealand and it has been ranked among the top ‘eco-friendly seafood's' by the US environmental agency, Blue Ocean Institute. It is grown on ropes suspended from platforms on the surface of the ocean. The mussels obtain their nutrients directly from the phyto-plankton and minerals in sea water. When the mussels hit their ‘peak' they are harvested with the edible portion being freeze dried using low temperatures. Each batch is analyzed to ensure that no bacteria and heavy metals are present and it must meet with the guidelines laid down by the New Zealand Ministry of Fisheries.
Vitamin B12 has earned the reputation of being an energy booster and an appetite stimulant and it's for this reason that many bodybuilders and athletes choose to supplement their diet with this nutrient.

Now I am by no means saying that having diabetes is a great asset to your sporting career. However, with the right mental attitude you can make it work with you instead of against you and welcome the challenge it presents rather than digging yourself into a hole of hopelessness. So if you have diabetes, or know someone who has, read on and learn a little more of how it can be successfully integrated into your lifestyle as a bodybuilder...
Film maker Stuart MacDonald asked himself the question thousands have wondered about: Just what would it take to change my body into that of the guy in the fitness advertisements?
