Medicine Description shark-cartilage 200mg
Shark Cartilage is a medication that contains glycosaminoglycans and chondroitin, which are believed to contribute to its anti-inflammatory properties. While it has been used in alternative medicine, the exact mechanism by which shark cartilage exerts its effects is not well understood. Some theories posit that these compounds may inhibit angiogenesis, the process by which new blood vessels form, thus potentially slowing tumor growth. However, the clinical relevance of this mechanism remains to be conclusively established through rigorous scientific studies.
