Sharks are one of the animals that rarely, if ever, get cancer. This supplement is derived from the cartilage of sharks that are harvested for food (eg shark fin soup). It is an angiogenisis inhibitor - prevents blood vessel development, so it is an effect therapy for health conditions that are dependent upon the growth of new blood vessels. It can stop tumour growth by starving them of blood. It stimulates anti-inflammatory agents in arthritis suffers. Shark cartilage has also been used to treat enteritis, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, psoriasis, acne and poison ivy. Shark cartilage consists of 37-41% protein, 8% moisture, .1-.3% fat, 7% carbohydrate, 13-17% calcium and 8-10% phosphorus. It should not be taken by pregnant women or people recovering from surgery.
