Shark Cartilage Powder

Waitaki Biosciences' Shark Cartilage Powder is manufactured from shark species harvested from the pristine waters surrounding New Zealand. The sharks are sourced from a world leading quota managed sustainable fishing resource.  Proprietary drying technology used to manufacture shark cartilage powder is critical to maintaining the integrity and biological activity of the natural components in the cartilage.

Shark cartilage is traditionally used as a natural supplement for joint inflammatory conditions. Shark cartilage contains chondroitin sulphate and proteins widely recognised as being associated with joint pain relief and aiding joint mobility.

Research has identified the role of shark cartilage in the inhibition of angiogenesis or the growth of new blood vessels invitro. Angiogenesis is a complex process of new blood vessel formation, which is central to normal human development. However, uncontrolled angiogenesis plays a critical role in inflammatory disorders.

Shark cartilage powder is also widely used in equine and veterinary products and is promoted as a natural bone and joint disorder supplement.
