Shark Liver Oil

Shark liver oil is purified from sharks such as Centrophorus squamosus, Cetorhinus maximus, Squalus acanthias, basking and dogfish sharks that live in the cold deep ocean. Traditionally, shark liver oil has been used by Scandinavian fishermen to treat various diseases, including wounds, heart disease and infertility. Today, it is commercially available and used by different populations as a supplement to treat and prevent disease. This is mainly due to its immune-boosting potential. Alfa Chemistry is committed to providing customers with high-quality shark liver oil. If you need, please contact us immediately.

Over the past 40 years, researchers have discovered that the active active ingredients in shark liver oil are alkylglycerols (AKGs), which are ether-linked glycerols containing substances such as batyl alcohol (AKG18/0), chimyl alcohol (AKG16/0) and selachyl alcohol (AKG18/1) ^[1]. Their main functions are as follows:

• Enhances the immune system

AKGs are natural substances that have been shown to enhance the immune system. They stimulate the production of white blood cells, including neutrophils, which play a crucial role in defending the body against infections and diseases.

• Promotes wound healing and tissue repair

AKGs promote wound healing and tissue repair by stimulating the production of white blood cells and enhancing immune function. They help accelerate the healing process and reduce the risk of infection, particularly in individuals with chronic wounds or compromised immune systems.

• Cancer prevention and treatment

In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that AKGs have potential anti-cancer properties. They may offer anti-tumor potential via activating macrophage and exerting anti-angiogenesis effects.

• Anti-inflammatory properties

AKGs have anti-inflammatory effects and can help reduce inflammation in the body. They inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory molecules and cytokines, helping to alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease.

• Promotes cardiovascular health

AKGs may have cardiovascular benefits, including lowering cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of heart disease. They help inhibit the formation of blood clots and plaque buildup in the arteries, improving blood flow and circulation.
