Shark Cartilage Powder

Shark cartilage comprises protein, mucopolysaccharides, carbohydrates, chondroitin sulphate, glucosomine sulphate, calcium, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium and other minerals. Each of these components has beneficial properties when consumed. The relative proportion of minerals in shark cartilage is nearly the same as in human bone so shark cartilage is ideally suited for human intake and is ideal for proper joint function.

Shark Cartilage Powder manufactured by New Vision Biotech is processed naturally and at low temperatures thereby preserving the integrity of the cartilage. The product is not diluted or fractionated and is guaranteed 100% pure shark cartilage. The particle size (mesh) of the power can be tailored to each customer’s requirements.

The entire skeleton of sharks is cartilage and the sharks sourced by New Vision Biotech are fished for human consumption of the flesh, and are therefore of the highest quality. In keeping with the company’s environmental credentials, New Vision Biotech also ensures that the source of cartilage used to manufacture the Shark Cartilage Powder is from non-endangered species of sharks.

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

It is a pure food;
It contains no toxic materials;
It's regular use may be beneficial in treating and/or alleviating the symptoms of a number of disorders;
It appears to limit the outbreak of psoriasis, eczema, acne and shingles;
It may inhibit some tumors by discouraging the growth of blood vessels to the tumor, thus preventing any further growth, and may be effective against melanoma (skin cancer).
Through regular use, it appears to provide some relief to large numbers of osteo and rheumatoid arthritis sufferers.
It appears to have anti-inflammatory properties which can help to relieve pain and thus enhance the quality of life.

Notably, a human trial sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA (Glucosamine/Chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial – GAIT) indicated that a combination of chondroitin sulphate (shark cartilage) and glucosamine may be effective in reducing knee pain caused by osteoarthritis¹ .

Shark Cartilage Powder from New Vision Biotech contains up to 5% w/w chondroitin sulphate. The powder is available in particle sizes (60 – 100 mesh) specified by the customer, and in 5, 10 and 20 kg bags. Bulk quantity (>200 kg/order) discounts apply.
