Cartilagine di squalo – Inflammation, pain and joint

Cartilagine di squalo is a natural food supplement useful for the physiological function of joints and cartilage. It doesn’t upset the stomach. A natural remedy that reinforces the natural defenses of the body.

Shark cartilage: sharks belong to the Elasmobranch class, whose name come from the Greek word “elastic”. The shark, in fact, doesn’t have a bony skeleton, its structure is only made of cartilage  that doesn’t have blood vessels and nerve endings. The cartilage powder is a very rich food, made of substances high in protein and glycosaminoglycans, including the chondroitin sulphate A, B and C. It contains also 15% of calcium and 9% of phosphorus, which are organic compound easily bioavailable.

It stimulates the processes of cellular regeneration and give back to the tissues and cartilages their elasticity. It boosts the immune system. It is not harmful on the gastric and intestinal mucosa.

The cartilages are recovered and converted in powder from the waste of the food processing of the shark, without harming the nature.
Product of animal origin.
