Description

Seagate Shark Cartilage

• 100% Pure No Fillers
• 300 Veggie Capsules
• 650 mg

Real shark cartilage product contains 50% protein.

Real shark cartilage is very effective. Support: You may need supplement support for arthritis, gout, joint inflammation, and fibromyalgia.

Seagate Shark Cartilage is pure, freeze-dried, laboratory-tested, doctor-recommended and clinically proven.

Seagate shark cartilage is not cut with fillers. Shark cartilage is so pure that Seagate do not even use excipients in our capsules. Seagate is not sterilized, chemically treated or exposed to high temperatures during processing. Controversy: Not all shark cartilage products are alike. In 1997 Seagate was sued for $20 million in federal court by another shark cartilage manufacturer because we publish and circulate independent lab reports in our now famous 50-page "Red Booklet" which revealed that some brands of shark cartilage were using adulterated, sterilized and in some cases even contaminated product that are being excessively cut with fillers including sugars and bone meal. No wonder the public was getting poor results from many brands. Seagate won this federal lawsuit when the plaintiff quit their case. The truth is a powerful tool, both in Court and in the marketplace. Product that is sterilized, contaminated, and cut with fillers has no chance of helping.

Processing:

Seagate is a fishing company that captures and processes shark as part of a food fishery along the coast of Baja California. The shark cartilage is a byproduct of our food processing line, which is saved as a valuable raw material. In 1993, Seagate added equipment in our plant that includes freeze-dryers and cryogenic grinders in order to produce the highest quality product. The meat is mechanically separated from the cartilage using high-speed brushes. The cartilage is then freeze-dried in a specially constructed high vacuum rotary chamber where the moisture in the cartilage is evaporated at very low temperatures. Seagate can guarantee the quality and integrity of this product, because we control the entire process.

SHARK CARTILAGE RESEARCH –

In 1980, a study1 was published by several doctors, including Judah Folkman and Robert Langer from Harvard Medical School and other Boston hospitals, which indicated the anti-angiogenesis effect of using shark cartilage on tumors in different animals. Angiogenesis is the term which describes the rapid proliferation of blood vessels in the area surrounding a tumor, induced by hormone secretions from the tumor into the surrounding tissue area. This rapid growth of blood vessels is necessary to sustain the tumor’s growth with an ever-increasing supply of food, water and oxygen from the blood. The doctors injected shark cartilage along with other substances into cancerous tumors, in their effort to discover a cure for cancer. What they found was that the tumor itself didn’t die, but the blood vessels surrounding the tumor were shrinking. In a later publication2, Dr. Langer continued to look for this mysterious “factor” contained in shark cartilage which was contributing to the inhibition of blood vessel growth near solid tumors.

An even more interesting application is derived from the research of Dr. Salvatore Albani3, at U.C.S.D. Medical School, who has been searching for a cure to rheumatoid arthritis. His theory is that rheumatoid arthritis is the result of an auto-immune malfunction in the body. As a result of the irritation of a joint by arthritis, the cells in that joint secrete a peptide, a simple protein, into the surrounding tissue area. This peptide happens to be almost identical in structure to the E. Coli bacteria, also a simple protein. In people predisposed to having rheumatoid arthritis, the body mistakenly perceives that this peptide is an E. Coli infection. Reacting to this “perceived” bacteria, the body produces a set of T-cells or antibodies in the thymus gland which proceed to the site where this “infection” is taking place – the area in and surrounding the irritated joint, the area of greatest concentration of this peptide. However, these T-cells attack not only this peptide, but also attack the cells in the joint, further irritating and breaking down the cells in the joint. This creates an ever-worsening spiral of joint irritation and the mistaken auto-immune response, leading to the slow destruction of the joint by the body’s own immune system. The research at U.C.S.D. has been looking for a naturally occurring protein in a food product, which after digestion (which reduces the protein into its component peptides), would be similar in structure to the peptide secreted by the irritated joint. It is believed that shark cartilage might yield this specific peptide. The effect that they are looking for is to have such peptides enter the blood stream as a food, and circulate throughout the body, effectively diverting this auto-immune response away from the affected joint, thereby interrupting this cycle.
