Have you ever TAKEN "SHARK cartilidge supplements"?? Did they work? Were they effective??

Because they claim they are good for joints ect.


I was thinking of trying them for my back ..... had fallen 8 yrs. ago and with time it's healed a LOT,however can still get sore. Do you think the Shark c. supplements would help, that is IF you've tried them w/successful results? THanks

I have not but I know someone that takes Glucosamine and it does help!
Reply:There's a lack of substantial research that supports shark cartilage supplements are actually beneficial to joint health, which is disappointing considering the number of supplemental products advertised to make consumers believe the research is extensive. Glucosamine, however, has been researched more thoroughly and the percentage of positive results are relatively high. Although not related to bone or joint health, an interesting fact is that sharks are immune to cancer. Which is why current research studies are having positive results in using shark cartilage for curing cancer in humans.
Reply:I don't know about the research findings, but Cuba has been the country where most of the research has been done. Have you heard of phosoplex? I take it and the reviews of it on amazon are all 5 stars.
Reply:Shark Cartlidge is a scam.





If you want to improve the joints, take a quality Omega fatty oil supplement. Omega 3 is fairly easy to find; but I recommend the complete spectrum that has omega 3, 6, and 9.





For pain take glucosimine and condroitin supplement.
Reply:The only thing shark cartilage supplements are good for is killing the poor shark.





You might want to look into chondroitin and glucosamine.
