Shark Cartilage,
Sea Cucumbers (Beche-de-Mer), Trepang
Rich in immune stimulating mucopolysaccharides and angiogenesis-inhibiting
proteins
Extremely beneficial for musculoskeletal inflammatory diseases, especially
arthritis
Shark Cartilage
The tough elastic material that makes up the skeleton of the shark is dried and
pulverized (finely powdered) to make this food supplement. Shark cartilage contains a
number of active components, the most important of which is a type of protein that acts as
an angiogenesis inhibitor-that is, it acts to supress the development of new blood
vessels.
This makes it valuable in fighting a number of disorders.
Many cancerous tumors,
for instance, are able to grow only because they induce the body to develop new networks
of blood vessels to supply them with nutrients. Shark cartilage suppresses this process,
so that the tumors are deprived of their source of nourishment and often begin to shrink.
There are also certain eye disorders, such as diabetic retinopathy and macular
degeneration, that are characterized by the growth of new blood vessels within the eye;
because they grow in inappropriate places, the presence of these blood vessels can lead to
blindness.
Such diseases too may respond well to shark cartilage.
Other conditions for
which shark cartilage is useful include arthritis, psoriasis, and regional enteritis (inflammation of the lining of the bowels).
In addition, to
angiogenesis-inhibiting protein, shark cartilage contains calcium (approximately 16%) and
phosphorous (approximately 8%) which are absorbed as nutrients, and mucopolysaccharides
that act to stimulate the immune system.
Shark
cartilage is usually available in capsules,
We now frozen cellular marine extract form called
Xtra-Cell Comitris
Xtra-Cellฎ
nutritional supplements are made using the most advanced techniques in cellular
and molecular biology.
These unique extracts begin with the highest quality raw materials and are
manufactured and purified via a patented, low temperature process that involves
homogenization, centrifugation, fractionation, ultra filtration, and micro
filtering. The resulting extract is then aseptically bottled, and depending on
the product can be immediately flash frozen without the use of preservatives.
This process allows for the isolation and concentration of a complex of
molecules including proteins and peptides that can be selected based on their
size and molecular weight. These water-soluble compounds remain in their native
state and can function as signaling factors that interact with receptors and
ultimately affect cellular function. This process can be applied to different
starting materials, allowing for the creation of highly-bioavailable liquid
extracts with different molecular profiles that can be targeted for specific
applications that include supporting and maintaining:
Angiogenic balance Immune health
Liver health Joint and connective tissue health
Neurological health Erythrocyte function
They meet the highest USP. XXVIII standards.
In the opinion of Dr. Morrow, they are the "ultimate in protomorphogen or
peptide therapy".
They are an exclusive cell fractionation process which allows to break-up the
cell membrane and extract the selected proteins and peptides. All of the
processing is conducted at near 0ฐ C to preserve the integrity of proteins.
They are absorbed via the mucosa of the mouth, thus
avoiding the enzymatic degradation of the gastro-intestinal tract preserving all
properties of the proteins.
We carry both forms, our products are pharmaceutical grade
meeting or exceeding USP XXVIII Sterility Standards.
Exercise caution when buying shark cartilage as well as all nutritional supplements, as
the purity and correct processing are vital to their effectiveness. Not all shark
cartilage products contain 100% pure shark cartilage, so read the label carefully.
This is
also true with most nutritional Supplements. Pure shark cartilage is white in color.
If you are taking large
quantities of shark cartilage, seriously consider the Frozen Xtra-Cell,
otherwise, it may be necessary to increase your supplementation of certain
minerals, especially Magnesium and Potassium, to maintain proper mineral
balance in the body.
Shark cartilage should not be taken by pregnant women or children, or
by persons who have recently undergone surgery or suffered a heart attack.
Sea Cucumber (Beche-de-Mer)
Sea Cucumbers, also known as (Beche-de-Mer) and Trepang, are not actually cucumbers, but
are marine animals related to starfishes and sea urchins. They have been used in China for
thousands of years as a treatment for arthritis.
Modern research has confirmed they are
beneficial for musculoskeletal inflammatory diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis,
osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis a rheumatic disease that affects the spine.
Researchers believe that sea cucumbers improve the balance of prostaglandins, which
regulate the inflammatory process. They also contain substances known as
mucopolysaccharides and chondroitins, which are often lacking in people with arthritis and
connective tissue disorders.
In addition, sea cucumbers provide vitamin A, B-1(thiamine),
B-2(riboflavin), and B-3(niacin), and vitamin C as well as the minerals Calcium, Iron,
Magnesium, and Zinc.
Other Chondroprotective agents include
manganese,
