Description

The skeleton of sharks is almost entirely comprised of cartilage. Shark’s fin, considered a delicacy in Asian countries, is consumed because of its purported ability to promote health, retard aging, and prevent disease. The shark cartilage is obtained from sharks caught for food purposes only.

Action

Inflammatory and dermal disease: rheumatoid arthritis, hemorrhoids, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, puritanis ani, acute skin allergies, osteoarthritis, cancer, free radical exposure and damage.

Shark cartilage is rich in gycosaminoglycans, or mucopolysaccharides, large macromolecules which are found in all our joints, blood vessels and organs. In addition, shark cartilage is very low in fat content and thus does not require harsh organic solvent extractions to remove the fat.

Sharks are known for their powerful immune systems. They are resistant to cancer, even when exposed to potent cancer causing chemicals. One agent which may be responsible for this incredible immunity, is the presence in shark cartilage of an anti-angiogenesis substance which inhibits the growth of blood vessels into solid tumors and thus, keeps tumors from growing. Cartilage is the tough elastic connective tissue found in and between the bones of mammals. The entire skeleton of sharks is made of cartilage. A protein substance was extracted from shark cartilage with anti-angiogenesis and antitumor effects. Shark cartilage appears to provide a substance with the ability to block the growth of new blood vessels and thus could be a major breakthrough in the treatment of a variety of diseases.
