Abstract: A whole body system nutrient material basically of lyophilized and dried mussel meats and body fluids with ascorbic acid (vitamin "C") added. The nutrient material is produced with a coating of ascorbic acid applied to substantially all surfaces of previously dried mussel material cells through immersion of the dried material in fluid containing ascorbic acid in solution in quantity such as to coat mussel material cells inside and out. One solution useful is a water based solution and another is an alcohol solution, both with ascorbic acid that remains as a coating on surfaces. The mussel particulate material, even though it is fine, consists of porous cell clusters having the nucleic components incorporated as part of the inner cell walls. The intercellular matrix ground substances generally are also permeable.
