   Cartilage may be the most wondrous component of the shark.

   Their skeletons are made entirely of cartilage, a hard,

   gristly but flexible material.  Unlike bone, it has no blood vessels.

   Shark Cartilage consists of calcium, phosphorous and an acidic mucco- 

   polysaccaride / protein complex that also contains collagen and complex   

   carbohydrates called glycosaminoglycans, including chondroitin sulfate

   and glucosamine sulfate.  It has antibacterial and antiviral substances

   and many nutrients that work together synergystically.

   Sharks have roamed the seas since prehistoric times, surviving more

   successfully than almost any other species.  Only recently have we begun 

   to unravel the mysteries within the sharks' bodies.  They have a highly

   effective and unusual immune system, which helps them to heal their 

   wounds quickly, and keeps them largely free of infection.  A large amount

   of antibodies circulate throughout their blood streams, which protect

   them from bacteria and viruses, as well as chemicals and other carcino-

   gens.  There is evidence that this protection is transferable to humans

   and other animals.*                                                               * Dr. I Wm. Lane

is environmentally conscious.  Sharks are not caught for their

cartilage only.   We do not use 

sharks that are endangered or

over-fished, but are used in

co-operation with the human

seafood industry.

Any shark cartilage product, to

ensure quality and reliability, must be properly processed without rendering the active protein fibers ineffective.   

Much research, testing, and

management is necessarily involved in development and production of the highest quality shark cartilage

products suitable for human

consumption as well as for pets.

Ocean Treasures™ offers only the best cartilage available.
