 Shark
cartilage has attracted attention in recent
years for its ability to support overall
cellular health, promote the body's proper
inflammatory response, and enhance the body's
natural immune system. Shark cartilage's unique
abilities are thought to originate from a web of
specific fibers made up of proteins and
carbohydrates – including glycosaminoglycans
– contained within the shark's cartilage
structure. The shark is one of the few animal
species whose entire internal skeleton is made
of cartilage, rather than bone.
Since the 1980's,
research has shown that the active protein in
shark cartilage promotes the proper growth of
capillaries. According to the Chorioallantoic
Membrane Assay Test (CAM), an independent test
that measures the ability to promote the proper
growth of capillaries, PhysioLogics' Shark
Cartilage scores a 3.16 on a scale of 4.0.
Cartilage also contains
high levels of mucopolysaccharides such as
chondroitin sulfate. Studies show that these
mucopolysaccharides help balance the
inflammatory response and support healthy
joints. Considered a 'membrane fluidizer,'
researchers theorize that this substance may
also have a rejuvenating effect on cells and
appears to play an important role in promoting a
healthy immune system. Studies show that this
component of cartilage can promote the body's
natural production of antibodies and supports
the body's own defense system.
