It’s time to start thinking differently about sharks. When many people think of sharks, images of gruesome attacks and inhumanely-acquired fin harvesting come to mind. Since we don’t practice any form of shark fishing, our shark cartilage supplements are made from byproducts of local seafood processors who produce a small amount of shark meat for Ensenada grocery stores.
Although scientific studies haven’t been able to prove that shark cartilage cures serious diseases, many people continue using the supplement to help relieve inflammation in their joints. The supplement has shown to retain fluids in joint cartilage, which can help to cushion the joints and increase range of motion. Large molecules with protein and carbohydrate components make up the basis for shark cartilage, which can often support healthy bone and joint movement. Since shark cartilage is harvested and processed in different ways by different manufacturers, it’s important to understand where your product came from and how it was made.
Shark cartilage typically comes in the form of a capsule, powder, or extract. Some physicians have even administered shark cartilage through an enema or injected it under the skin of their patients. While many people find the supplement difficult to digest because of the strong smell and fishy taste, you can easily disguise these factors without sacrificing its nutritional value. Perhaps the easiest way to incorporate shark cartilage into your diet is by mixing shark cartilage powder into a strong-tasting beverage that you already enjoy. Try mixing one or two teaspoons of shark cartilage powder into V8 or carrot juice, which have strong natural flavors to counteract the fishy smell and taste. You can experiment with mixing pure orange, apple, grape, or tomato juices with the supplement as well to see what tastes the best to you.
If you are experiencing joint pain from an injury, illness, or age degeneration, ask your doctor if shark cartilage could benefit your daily nutritional routine. Since many pharmaceutical treatments with non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory components have been known to actually worsen joint conditions, it never hurts to be informed about all-natural alternatives that may relieve your symptoms without the risky side effects.
joint pain eh? that’s what i’ve been dealing with for some time now since i’ve been gardening this summer. will be trying this product!
I actually purchased this product for my husband for his joints and he’s been feeling better since using it. Not to mention it’s easy to take since it can be mixed with beverages.
It seems the sea offers many benefits – omega 3 and now shark cartilage I have just learned. What else from the sea benefits health?
ugh this sounds like a great product. my body has been in agony from a recent injury at work and i’ve been looking for a more natural remedy than buying pain killer from the store.
