What is Scitec Nutrition Shark Cartilage?
Scitec Nutrition Shark Cartilage is a supplement made from freeze-dried shark cartilage, enriched with manganese. Each capsule contains about 592mg of shark cartilage powder, so the 5-capsule daily serving provides 2960mg of powder. It also provides 0.32mg of manganese, which is 16% of the NRV. Shark cartilage powder makes up 83% of the capsule content, and one 75-capsule pack provides 15 servings.
Shark cartilage is known as a natural source of chondroitin sulfate. The label does not state the chondroitin content, so the product is described by its cartilage powder content. Manganese sulphate is added to the formula.
What is it used for?
Shark Cartilage is used as a natural source of cartilage components, in particular chondroitin sulfate, within joint-support routines. It is aimed at athletes and active adults who put a lot of load on their joints and want a regular intake of cartilage in their daily routine.
The added manganese contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, to normal connective tissue formation, to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress (EU-authorised claims).
Shark Cartilage is often chosen by people who prefer a natural, single-ingredient cartilage source over synthetic or combined joint formulas. It can also be used alongside other joint-support supplements, such as collagen or MSM.
⚠️ Contains fish.
