Several studies over the past decade have attributed Shark Cartilage’s effiency in treating osteoarthritis to a family of complex carbohydrates called mucopolysaccharides. Two members of this family, chondroitin sulfates A and C, have long been used by nutrition medicine practitioners to fight inflammation and enteritis. Research has shown that naturally occurring forms of these compounds in shark cartilage are more effective than the synthetically refined mucopolysaccharides. The chondroitin acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. As a result, Shark Cartilage can be useful for alleviating the pain and swelling from joint-related difficulties by reducing inflammation. Numerous controlled clinical studies have been conducted over the last three decades to examine the effects of Shark Cartilage-derived Chondroitin. It has been deemed to be significantly beneficial in alleviating the symptoms of osteoarthritis. MapleLife’s Shark Cartilage Capsules supports the development and maintenance of joints and bones; alleviates the pain and swelling of joints; and relieves symptoms of osteoarthritis.
