Did You Know ...
Shark cartilage has been successfully used in both animals and humans to reduce pain in arthritis and improve mobility.
A study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology concluded that shark cartilage contains an angiogenesis inhibiting substance that strongly inhibits the growth of new blood vessels that support solid tumors, thereby restricting tumor growth.(1)
Research at Columbia University in New York, Massachusetts Technical Institute, Brugmann University Hospital in Belgium, the University of Guadalajara in Mexico, and several other scientific institutes, indicates that Shark Cartilage may reduce the incidence of muscle pulls, inflamed joints and stiffness.
Studies conducted at the Children's Hospital in Boston, which was reported in Science, Vol 221 in September 1983 found that shark cartilage strongly repressed the growth of new blood vessels growing to support solid tumors, which in turn controlled tumor growth. Their findings indicated it was this substance which was responsible for the rarity of cancer in sharks.

What Is Shark Cartilage?
Shark Cartilage is a nutritional supplement gleaned from the skeleton of the shark. Sharks have skeletons made entirely of cartilage, the same flexible material in your nose and ears. Cartilage is sturdy like bone, but it has a much lower density. This material keeps sharks relatively lightweight, so they don't sink in the ocean and they don't need an air bladder like other fish. Shark cartilage contains chemical compounds with the impressive ability to inhibit the growth of new blood vessel systems.

One of the most interesting things about cartilage is its importance to the body, an importance that is first apparent in the embryo. In an early fetus, there are no bones; it is cartilage that provides the framework on which most of the major bones of the body take form..
The bones of children are relatively pliable because they contain more cartilage and less calcium salts than do the bones of adults. Elderly people have much less soft tissue such as cartilage and a higher proportion of calcium salts, so their bones are more brittle.

Types of Shark Cartilage
Shark Cartilage is available in powder, capsules or pressed into tablets. Shark Cartilage capsules or tablets appeal to many consumers because they are more convenient and because many people find the taste and smell of shark cartilage powder unpleasant. VitaPurity chose to offer our Pacific Ocean Shark Cartilage in capsule form for ease of use and more bioavailability than tablets in either low or high dosages.
The VitaPurity Advantage
Unadulterated dry shark cartilage powder is approximately 41.0% ash, 39.0% protein, 12.0% carbohydrates, 7.0% water, less than 1.0% fiber, and less than 0.3% fat. Basically, it is the macro-proteins and mucopolysaccharides that provide ALL the benefits of the shark cartilage. The ash content is a by-product of the extraction and processing.
Most companies do not take the extra steps to remove more of the ash after processing because it is an expensive undertaking. Some Shark Cartilage distributors actually go so far as to claim that the ash is beneficial for you! VitaPurity recognizes that ash is NOT beneficial, and has taken the extra step to make certain that the ash content is reduced to less than 20%!
VitaPurity Pacific Ocean Shark Cartilage is manufactured using a special cold process which protects the bioactivity of key elements and macro proteins. This cold processing combined with our filtration process eliminating ash to less than 20% makes VitaPurity Pacific Ocean Shark Cartilage one of the finest shark cartilage products on the market today.

Recommended Dosage
Just two capsules daily 15 minutes before a meal as a dietary supplement. Studies have shown that a person can safely ingest from 2500mg (2.5g) up to 6000mg (6g) of shark cartilage daily. Much higher levels have also been used with success and the absence of side-effects under controlled conditions by qualified medical personnel.
Precautions
Although shark cartilage is non-toxic, and can be taken together with other medical treatments, there are some conditions that are contraindicated. If you are pregnant, nursing a baby, recovering from recent surgery or have a heart or circulatory condition consult a health professional before using this product.
Remember, drugs do not cure degenerative diseases. Your body must be in good health to effectively destroy disease and heal itself. Enable your body with the essential elements it requires. VitaPurity stands ready to help you and to provide you with the proper nutritional building blocks so that you can achieve "Recovery, Good Health and a Long Life."
