Shark Cartilage Powder, Grade : Food grade, Moisture : <10%

Cartilage is a type of connective tissue in the body that has a tough, flexible matrix made of collagen, protein, and sugars. Shark's skeleton is composed of this tough cartilage and contains no true bony tissue and does not contain any blood vessels. The absence of blood vessels in cartilage led to the hypothesis that cartilage cells produce one or more substances that inhibit blood vessel formation. The structural components of cartilage include several types of collagen and glycosaminoglycans. Chondroitin sulphate is the major glycosaminoglycan in cartilage. Shark cartilage powder is an excellent source of glycosaminoglycans (gag’s) including chondroitin sulphate, calcium and phosphorus. As a component of cartilage, chondroitin sulphate has been researched as a treatment for cartilage damage or as a supplement to prevent development of osteoarthritis.
