Sharks have been living in the ocean for up to 400 million years. Despite the extinction of dinosaurs on Earth, sharks still survive and may be the longest living animal on Earth. Sharks have an individual lifespan of 25-100 years, some of which may be longer.

The strong immune function of sharks is one of the reasons for their longevity. When a shark is injured, it quickly recovers and inflammation rarely occurs in the shark. There are antibodies in the blood of sharks that can kill bacteria and viruses, thereby protecting them from chemical damage.

Another reason why sharks have a long lifespan is that they are less prone to cancer. In fact, the cancer incidence rate of sharks is less than one percent of that of ordinary fish. Even if sharks live in water containing carcinogens, they will not get sick. Why? Because they have abundant substances in their bodies to resist cancer cells.

The research results show that tumor growth relies on neovascularization to obtain sufficient nutritional supply, and shark cartilage powder has an inhibitory effect on angiogenesis. Further in vitro studies have shown that shark lipids extracted from shark meat have a stronger inhibitory effect on angiogenesis by about 100 times compared to shark cartilage powder. In addition, angiogenesis is directly related to age-related macular degeneration, diabetes retinopathy and rheumatoid arthritis, and the case report shows that shark lipid has a good therapeutic effect on these diseases. In summary, shark lipids are a highly effective healthy food.

history

Shark cartilage powder has been found to have an inhibitory effect on angiogenesis for decades and is now widely consumed by patients. However, it has a strong fishy odor, is not easy to take, and must be taken in large quantities. Shark lipids have effectively overcome these drawbacks, and in vivo experiments have shown that their inhibitory effect on angiogenesis is about 30 times stronger than shark cartilage powder. In summary, taking a relatively small amount of shark lipids can achieve the same or higher efficacy as shark cartilage powder, without any fishy odor, and can greatly reduce the economic burden on patients.
