This product is a complex biological calcium salt which forms the basis of the human skeletal structure. NVB manufactures MCHC naturally from bovine bone sourced from young Australian beef cattle bred for human consumption.

• Australia is BSE (Mad Cow Disease) free and our MCHC comes with AQIS certification.


• MCHC is used as a treatment for the prevention of bone loss due to osteoporosis and for the restoration of bone density.


• MCHC can also lessen the pain of osteoporosis and assist fracture healing.


• It reduces the rate of progression of osteoporosis resulting from ageing, dietatry calcium deficiency and secondary pathologies.


• It reduces the risk of bone loss in metabolic bone diseases.


• MCHC is a safe and effective calcium supplement which is widely used...

The Shark Cartilage Powder manufactured by NVB is processed naturally and at low temperatures thereby preserving the integrity of the cartilage. The product is not diluted or fractionated and is 100% pure shark cartilage.

The entire skeleton of sharks is cartilage and the sharks used by NVB are fished for human consumption of the flesh and therefore are of the highest quality.

Shark cartilage comprises protein, mucopolysaccharides, carbohydrates, chondroitin sulphate, glucosomine sulphate, calcium, zinc, phosphorous, magnesium and other minerals. Each has beneficial properties. The ratio of minerals in shark cartilage is nearly the same as in human bone so that shark cartilage is ideally suited for human intake and is ideal for proper joint functions.

Extensive research on shark cartilage throughout the world has comfirmed the following:

• It is a pure food


• It contains no toxic materials


• It's regular use may be beneficial for a number of disorders


• It limits the outbreak of Psoriasis, Eczema and Acne. Extensive trial work has shown it to control Shingle in around 60 days


• It may inhibit some Cancer tumors by discouraging the growth of blood vessels to the tumor, thus preventing any further growth


• It may also be effective against melanoma (skin cancer).


• It can help Diabetic Retinopathy (impaired vision).


• A large amount of osteo or rheumatoid arthritis sufferers have found major relief with the regular use of shark cartilage.


• It can relieve pain and thus enhances the quality of life.


• It may be effective in the treatment of gout, tennis elbow, sports injuries, back pain, and mending fractures faster.


• Shark cartilage contains anti-inflammatory properties which can help relieve pain.


• Major trial work has shown excellent results on arthritic animals, particularly cats and dogs.

This product contains 90%+ Chondroitin Sulphate. It contains all the benefits of the Shark Cartilage Powder but with higher concentrations of Chondroitin Sulphate thereby making the product more specifically effective.

Chondroitin Sulphate

Chondroitin Sulphate is a complex carbohydrate found in the connective tissue of all mammals. Chondroitin Sulphate is a key building block in the repair and rebuilding of cartilage. As a result, it is a useful supplement in addressing osteo arthritis and other conditions and is also a mild anti-inflammatory. In the resilient cartilage that pads the joints Chondroitin acts like a magnet drawing fluid into the tissues. This fluid plays two important roles; it attracts essential nutrients to the area and it makes the cartilage spongier and better able to absorb shocks. Chondroitin also protects healthy cartilage from premature decline by preventing the production of certain enzymes that weaken connective tissue and defeating others that stop nutrients from reaching the cartilage.

Many researchers are convinced that Chondroitin strengthens the protein strands that make up connective tissue. There is also evidence that because it contains complex sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycanes, it can reduce inflammation and rebuild cartilage, especially if the tissue has not been totally destroyed. Chondroitin can also play an active role in reducing the pain that often accompanies osteo-arthritis.
