Shark cartilage for joints
Shark cartilage capsules contain 300mg of shark cartilage, calcium, magnesium, eight essential B vitamins, for the metabolism of muscles, bones and especially the joints.
How does it favor joints?
Mucopolysaccharides, as they occur in shark cartilage, are important elements of our articular and perichondrial tissues. The cartilaginous mass of shark cartilage is highly flexible and at the same time has a high density, much greater than that of human cartilage. Together with magnesium, calcium and 8 vitamins B, shark capsules form an ideal combination to supply the natural nutrients that
help to maintain in good functional state the cartilage .
What is cartilage?
Cartilage is a kind of connective tissue but more flexible than bones. In our body we have several types of cartilage:
- The cartilage of the joints that covers the surfaces of the bones
- The one that forms the intervertebral discs
- The cartilage that forms the rigid support to structures such as the larynx, trachea or ears
- And that of the semi-rigid substance that connects the ribs
Cartilage Development
During the growth phase of infants, the skeleton is mainly composed of cartilage, which is gradually calcified, increasing its stiffness and finally becomes bone mass or bone. If the bones continue to grow during childhood and adolescence, they do so mainly because of their extreme parts, where the surface consists of cartilage, forming joints.
Once adult, the growth process ends and cartilage formation only continues to regenerate the mass taht is lost trhu wear and tear. This way the joints can maintain a constant layer of cartilage mass. However, at later ages this regeneration slows down which can sometimes result in degeneration of the cartilage of the joints and their known discomfort.
Shark Cartilage as a Food Supplement
Shark cartilage capsules contribute significantly to the supply of the most important nutrients for the cartilages of our joints, favoring an improvement in the maintenance of them in a healthy way in terms of functionality and flexibility.
Shark Cartilage is a well-known food supplement used by millions of people daily.
What else can be done?
Cartilage is a tissue that is nurtured through the synovial fluid, the lubricant of the joints. In order to successfully nurture the joint cartilage, the synovial fluid should deeply penetrate into the joint.
This is usually archieved by the loading and unloading of the joints. Which each joint movement, the synovial fluid is compressed and can penetrate easier into the cartilage. That is why it is important to perform a moderate physical activity daily. This ensures that the nutrients, vitamins and especially the mucopolysaccharides are absorbed by cartilage.
We recommend combining our shark cartilage with
Gelat-PLUS® to complement the mucopolysaccharides present in shark cartilage optimally
