What Shark Cartilage Can Do For You

Clinical trials have shown that shark cartilage is effective in the following ways:

Restricts The Growth of Solid Tumour Cancer

Shark cartilage, a powerful anti-angiogenic, can help restrict new solid tumour growth by denying it a blood supply while the immune system and other cancer treatments fight the existing cancer. (Further Details)

Restricts the Damage to Joints in Arthritis

Shark Cartilage's ability to prevent blood vessels from forming could reduce damage & calcification within affected joints.(Further Details)

Helps Joints Damaged by Trauma to Heal

Blood vessels forming within the joint due to immobilisation can cause permanent damage. Taking Shark Cartilage as an anti-angiogenic while the joint is immobilised can help prevent long-term damage.(Further Details)

Acts as an Anti-Inflammatory

Shark Cartilage is also an anti-inflammatory containing chondroitin sulphate. It is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory agents and wound healing substances.(Further Details)

Shark Cartilage and Cancer

Shark Cartilage is an anti-angiogenic.
It restricts growth of new blood vessels feeding a cancer tumour.

Back in 1983, Robert Langer Ph.D., a chemical engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, discovered that an ingredient in shark cartilage stops a tumour from setting up a network of blood vessels necessity for its growth.

The blood network, would feed the tumour nutrients, and dump toxins produced by the growth back into the main blood stream. Doctor Langer together with Doctor Folkman, a surgeon at the Children's Hospital in Boston, showed that if tumours could not establish a blood vessel network, they would not grow. This is known as anti-angiogenesis.

When parts of the body require nutrients they are normally supplied via small blood vessels, but in certain situations the nutrients are absorbed from a nutrient-rich surrounding fluid, as is the case of the working surfaces of an active joint.

Any new growth in the body uses this absorbing method to acquire the nutrients it needs but this system is only effective up to about half a millimetre from the nutrient rich surrounding fluid. To overcome this problem "requests" are made by the new growth to the surrounding tissue for a blood supply, and the body responds by building blood vessels to this new body tissue.

Taking Shark Cartilage gives the surrounding body the ability to "deny" the request for a blood supply. This is where Shark Cartilage can help in the fight against solid tumour cancer. It can help restrict new solid tumour growth by denying it a blood supply while the immune system and other cancer treatments fight the existing cancer.

Dosage

Clinical trials have established that the anti-angiogenic effect (preventing the growth of new capillary blood vessels) takes about 45g of shark powder per day (about 5 lots of 2 heaped teaspoons a day). Therefore you should purchase the shark cartilage powder, not the capsules as you would need 90 capsules per day !

Do Not take your shark cartilage with milk or any other protein as it reduce its effectiveness.

Take each dose at least 30 minutes before a meal and 3 hours after eating.

Shark Cartilage and Arthritis

Shark Cartilage has been found to relieve the pain and reduce swelling & inflammation. It is an effective anti-inflammatory without the long-term damage associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Shark Cartilage is also an effective pain killer.

Shark Cartilage's ability to prevent blood vessels from forming could reduce damage & calcification within affected joints.

Dosage

The quantity needed for different situations will vary, here are typical amounts that have been helpful to others:

Stiff and Uncomfortable First Thing ...

Take three 500mg capsules, twice a day.

Slightly Swollen and Inflamed ...

... uncomfortable but usable: Take five 500mg capsules twice a day OR one heaped teaspoon of powder.

Inflamed, Swollen and Too Painful To Use ...

... inflamed, swollen, damaged & calcified: Two heaped teaspoons twice a day for 4 weeks, then if symptoms have improved revert to the appropriate prior dosage recommendation.

Do Not take your shark cartilage with milk or any other protein as it reduce its effectiveness.

Take each dose at least 30 minutes before a meal and 3 hours after eating.

Shark Cartilage and Joint Trauma

Active people regularly get minor injuries. Shark Cartilage has been found to be very helpful where a joint has been injured and is restricted or immobile for a week or more.

Joints get their nutrients by absorbing them from the synovial fluid within the joint "capsule". This fluid is "pumped" around the joint each time the joint is moved or weight is applied and removed.  Without the movement the supply of nutrients is severely reduced.

Blood vessels forming within the joint due to immobilisation can cause permanent damage. Taking Shark Cartilage as an Anti-Angiogenic while the joint is immobilised can help prevent long-term damage.

Dosage

To help prevent blood vessels forming take one heaped teaspoons (or 10 capsules) twice a day for two weeks, then reduce to one level teaspoon of powder (or 3 to 4 capsules)twice a day.

Continue until mobility is normal and there is no inflammation !

Do Not take your shark cartilage with milk or any other protein as it reduce its effectiveness.

Take each dose at least 30 minutes before a meal and 3 hours after eating.

Shark Cartilage as an Anti Inflammatory

Shark Cartilage is a protein complex that also contains collagen, glysonsaminoglycans, including chondroitin sulphate A, 1 and C. These give shark cartilage powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

Dosage

As an anti-inflammatory take one rounded teaspoonful (5 or 6 capsules) twice a day for a week. Then reduce to one level teaspoonful (3 or 4 capsules) twice a day. After one month reduce further to one level teaspoonful a day (3 or 4 capsules) as a maintenance dose.

Do Not take your shark cartilage with milk or any other protein as it reduce its effectiveness.

Take each dose at least 30 minutes before a meal and 3 hours after eating.
