Shark Cartilage is the second most ingredient in Syn-flex (Synflex). For evey one 1/4 oz Syn-flex (Synflex) serving, there is 25 mg Shark Cartilage.
Shark Cartilage provides a source of Chondroitin Sulfate (20% in Syn-flex) which works synergistically with glucosamine to assist in rehabilitating the cartilage that is damaged in your body. Some studies indicate that the use of shark cartilage seems to "drive" the glucosamine. Although bovine trachea is also a source of Chondroitin, Syn-flex (Synflex) elected to use Shark Cartilage given the public concerns about BSE. (Mad Cow Disease). Chondroitin Sulfate serves to attract fluids into proteoglycan molecules which assists you in two ways. First, it draws nutrients into your cartilage. Secondly, it increases the flow of fluid into your cartilage to add resiliency. It also serves to protect existing cartilage from premature degeneration by blocking "bad" enzymes that destroy cartilage and as well, prevent nutrient replenishment.
In recent years, shark cartilage therapy has emerged as a much-touted popular remedy for cancer, arthritis, and other illnesses. The FDA classifies shark cartilage as a dietary food supplement and has not been classified as a drug with proven therapeutic benefits.
