Properties of Shark Cartilage

Shark cartilage has lately become a very popular supplement among athletes. It is an elastic tissue that provides chondroitin and glucosamine, which are substances that are naturally present in our cartilages.

Shark cartilage is obtained from the scales of this animal, where there is a higher concentration of active ingredients.

Glucosamine is an amino-sugar that makes up part of our tendons, cartilages and ligaments. Glucosamine plays an important role in protecting the joints from post-workout joint pain. (1)

In addition, it can also be used to treat joint problems. (2)

On the other hand, chondroitin is an important glucosaminoglycan for our joint health and cartilage. It has anti-inflammatory properties and you can combine it with glucosamine to enhance its effects on joint pain and osteoarthritis. (3) (4)

Who can benefit from this supplement?

• Athletes and active people who suffer from joint wear due to regular physical exercise.
