PCSO-524

PCSO-524 is a patented, stabilized lipid extract derived from the New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus). It is primarily used as a natural anti-inflammatory supplement in veterinary medicine and as a dietary supplement for humans. The formulation contains a complex blend of over 90 free fatty acids, including omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and ETA (eicosatetraenoic acid). Its mechanism of action involves inhibition of pro-inflammatory mediators, notably leukotriene B4 and prostaglandin E2 biosynthesis, as well as moderate inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2. This results in reduced production of inflammatory cytokines like TNF‑α and IFN‑γ. PCSO‑524 has demonstrated efficacy in reducing symptoms associated with osteoarthritis, atopic dermatitis, asthma, exercise-induced muscle soreness, and airway inflammation in both animal models and clinical studies[1][2][3][4][5][6].
