Shark cartilage, the material that composes the skeletal structure of sharks, is rapidly becoming a popular dietary supplement as well as the center of much controversy. At the heart of this is the claim of many herbalists and nutritionists that shark cartilage is a potent aid in fighting cancer. Those who dispute this are often part of the scientific community, who claim that there is not enough evidence to support these theories. One of the reasons that the curative and medicinal properties of shark cartilage is so often disputed is the frequent use in the debate of the mistaken, and often repeated, belief that sharks do not get cancer. As a portion of the actual shark, some traditions also hold that shark cartilage can spiritually aid in achieving the properties of a shark, including their ferocity, cunning and vigor. In fighting cancer, Shark cartilage is said to possess antioxidant qualities that aid in removing some of the particles that attack and destroy cells from the body. Beyond this, it is also believed that shark cartilage possesses anti-angiogenic properties, which can help prevent tumor growth. Outside of these possible benefits, shark cartilage is also often revered as an anti inflammatory, which can aid with treating arthritis and other such joint pain.
