Can Shark Cartilage Improve Joint Pain?

December 19, 2013 By Darrell Miller

About Shark Cartilage

sharksWho would have thought that shark cartilage could be used to relieve the aches and pains of old age, running, or working out? The cartilage is reported to be helpful for a number of different things as well. Some of the things that shark cartilage might be beneficial for are the temporary relief of arthritis pain, relief of inflammation from arthritis, maintenance of general well being, as well as supporting the repair and maintenance of joint lubrication and joint tissue.

Study in Shark Cartilage

There was a study that was conducted at the University of Miami which revealed that the shark cartilage contains collagen and glycosaminoglycans like glucosamine sulphate and chondroiton sulphate which are all substances that make up connective tissues. This seems to be evidence that shark cartilage aids in joint healing from injuries as well as tissue repair. A 1996 study that was conducted at the University of Estado in Brazil indicated that some substances in the cartilage demonstrate anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Benefits of Shark Cartilage

Bodybuilders have been taking the supplement recently due to its ability to regenerate connective tissues. Bodybuilders and powerlifters are constantly putting a lot of weight on their joints, so supplementing with cartilage seems like a healthy decision. Currently you can buy the cartilage in pill form or powdered form. The recommended dose is between 500mg and 2 grams daily. It is meant to be taken with water, preferably after a meal.

Most shark cartilage products are produced in New Zealand and Australia and they can be ordered on the Internet. You might even be able to find a pharmacy near your house where you can order the supplement. A bottle of the pills usually ranges from $30 to $80 today. The price is expected to rise as the amount of sharks in the ocean is decreasing. Tell us what you think after supplementing with shark cartilage!
