The fact that sharks have not changed in over 400 million years says a lot about its extraordinary immune system. Most sharks have evolved to a level where they never sleep or rest having to be constantly on the move so that water may pass over their gills thus allowing them to breathe. Sharks are said to be "the most energy efficient, perfectly evolved living machine".

What is Shark Cartilage?

Shark cartilage is made up of the following components:

Collagen and Amino Acids: Shark cartilage contains over 40% pure collagen protein, plus essential and non essential amino acids. These components are necessary for elasticity of the tissues, healing of cracked skin, torn ligaments and tendons and growth and rejuvenation of skin and connective tissues.

Minerals: including Calcium, Phosphorous, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Iron and Chromium, Manganese and Silica. These components are essential for the maintenance and normal function of cells, muscles, bones and joints.

Glycosaminoglycans: attract and retain moisture to resist compression and deliver nutrients to cells that need it. Important building blocks for joint cartilage components, shock absorbing properties and replenishment of joint fluid lubricant.

Scientific research in America, Belgium, Czechoslovakia and other countries have provided dramatic results in treating various degenerative diseases. Safe and effective treatment has been also been provided for osteo arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, eczema and many other diseases.

How does shark cartilage act as an anti-inflammatory?

Anti-inflammatory compounds in shark cartilage are called mucopolysaccharides which particularly help relieve arthritis symptoms and other inflammatory conditions, such as inflammation of the bowel.

What does inhibiting the creation of new blood vessels do?

Shark cartilage is known to inhibit the creation of new blood vessels, this can work in the following areas:

• Arthritis pain can be caused by excess blood vessels invading the joint cartilage – shark cartilage can help to inhibit this process
• Stopping small blood capillaries of the skin from feeding skin cells excessively which leads to shedding in the case of psoriasis.

• Children should not take shark cartilage
• People who have had a recent heart attack, surgery or major operation
• Women who are pregnant or breast feeding
• Body builders or athletes who are attempting to build large muscles. However, short-term use to overcome any injury will not inhibit muscle development.
