Shark cartilage contains about 40% proteins, which can help rebuild ligaments; and is rich in minerals, calcium and phosphorus, which contribute to bone development; and between five and twenty percent of its constituents are glycosaminoglycans, with active ingredients such as Chondroitin and Mucopolysaccharides.
Product Notes:
Responsibly Sourced Shark Cartilage from New Zealand
New Roots Herbal Shark Cartilage is responsibly sourced from a reputable supplier in New Zealand, where a shark finning ban has been in place since 2014. Unlike shark fins, shark cartilage can come from the entire skeleton (such as the backbone). New Roots 100% pure shark cartilage is derived from the otherwise unused parts of non-endangered species which are raised in shark farms for meat. This cartilage is processed with no solvents, bleaches, or chemical processing agents.
