How to Choose a High Quality Shark Cartilage Powder |

Quality Is The Most Important Factor In Choosing A Shark Cartilage Product As a result of the intense public interest and growing demand for shark Cartilage , many companies have acted quickly to market inferior products designed to maximize their own financial profits while disregarding quality and effectiveness. BEWARE OF INFERIOR SHARK Cartilage PRODUCTS! We have seen numerous products which contain fillers and adulterants which greatly dilute the amount of actual shark Cartilage in the product. We have seen some products which are nearly 50% fillers and adulterants. While these products are usually less expensive than 100% pure shark Cartilage products, the difference in price does not justify the compromise in quality. Indeed, for those who choose to take high doses of shark Cartilage , the fillers and adulterants in these inferior quality products simply result in the user having to take even larger doses thereby further complicating the already unpleasant process of oral ingestion or rectal administration. Shark Cartilage Products Must Be Properly Processed Even more important than the purity of the product is the manner in the product is processed. Any shark Cartilage product, to ensure quality and reliability, must be properly processed. The processing of dry powdered shark Cartilage involves four basic steps: (1) Cleaning; (2) Drying; (3) Pulverizing and (4) Sterilizing. These processes must be accomplished without rendering the active protein fibers ineffective. Much research, testing, and management is necessarily involved in the development and production of high-quality, "clinical-grade," shark Cartilage products suitable for human consumption. Processing shark Cartilage without rendering the active protein fibers ineffective presents major problems, many of which are not addressed by manufacturers of inferior shark Cartilage products. Conventional cleaning, drying, pulverization, and sterilization processes with their excessive heat and/or use of harsh solvents or chemicals often denature the active protein and render the Cartilage therapeutically valueless. Proteins are easily denatured by heat and other manufacturing processes and by various chemicals like solvents and acids that are designed to remove fats and other unneeded components. In addition, the abundant water content of Cartilage (Cartilage is more than 85 percent water) and the way in which the water is bound within the Cartilage also make drying difficult and costly. Heat must be used sparingly since excessive heat is damaging. In shark Cartilage , at least one of the proteins active as an angiogenesis inhibitor is denatured if processing temperatures are elevated. Furthermore, both the Cartilage and the protein within it are inactivated if they are treated with solvents like acetone or submitted to strong acids for extended periods. Particle size, which is dependent on how well pulverized a material is, is another consideration. Shark Cartilage must be absorbed into the system as quickly as possible to prevent the protein from being digested by proteolytic enzymes. Shark Cartilage powder must therefore be pulverized finely enough to be quickly absorbed into the body system as a suspension of preformed protein. Experience has shown that at least 90 percent must pass through a 200-mesh screen for maximum effectiveness. This is finer than most talcum powders. We have seen some shark Cartilage products with large chunks of unpulverized shark Cartilage in the product. Obviously, this type of product, while perhaps less expensive, has no actual therapeutic value. Since first publishing the Real Life Shark Cartilage Information Exchange, we have been contacted by many shark Cartilage product manufacturers asking us to endorse or market their products. However, the vast majority of these manufacturers refuse or cannot provide information on how their product is manufactured. We would urge you to avoid any product for which the manufacturer refuses or cannot provide information on the manufacturing methods or specifications. While we are certain there are several high quality shark Cartilage products on the market which are produced by competent and responsible manufacturers, we believe that anyone interested in obtaining the highest quality shark Cartilage should consider purchasing CARTILADE brand shark Cartilage . Cartilade products are produced with processes for cleaning, drying, pulverizing and sterilizing shark Cartilage that ensure the highest quality and reliability without rendering the active protein fibers ineffective. Cartilade shark Cartilage products were developed under the supervision of Dr William Lane. CARTILADE brand shark Cartilage is manufatured under Dr Lane's 1991 patented process. This patent gives the consumer protection against the "copycat" products that may not be produced with the care needed to assure quality and effectiveness. |
