PURPOSE: An antiarthritic mixture consisting of lipid extract of green-lipped mussel(Perna canaliculus or Mytilus edulis) and garlic oil is provided, thereby inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase pathway, so that the activity of inhibiting arthritis of human or animals can be improved without side-effects. CONSTITUTION: A method for treating arthritis comprises oral administration of the antiarthritic mixture consisting of lipid extract of green-lipped mussel(Perna canaliculus or Mytilus edulis) and garlic oil which are mixed in a ratio of 20:1, wherein the lipid extract of green-lipped mussel(Perna canaliculus or Mytilus edulis) contains sterol esters, triglyceride, free fatty acids, sterol and phospholipid; lipid extract of green-lipped mussel(Perna canaliculus or Mytilus edulis) is prepared by using supercritical fluid extraction; the garlic oil contains 57% of diallyl, 37% of allyl methyl, and 6% of dimethyl mono to hexa sulfide; and the garlic oil is prepared by using steam distillation. |
