It is estimated that as much as 80% of all human ailments are caused by an inadequate immune response. Minimally Processed Whole Deep Ocean Shark Liver Oil will assist in regenerating an adequate immune response as it optimizes blood cell production, strengthens the walls of healthy cells, and assists in oxygenating the body.

Daily use of BioMarine Shark Liver Oil will provide the consumer with the following benefits:

• An enhanced and strengthened immune system which assists in protecting the body from viral diseases such as colds, influenza and herpes simplex (cold sores) and some bacterial conditions
• A natural resistance to some rheumatic and arthritic problems
• Enhanced anti-bacterial activity
• Possible regression of tumor growth, particularly in cases of uterine cancer
• Possible protection from radiation-induced damage, in particular the replenishment of our white cells (leucocytes)

We use select species of sharks having livers that are abundant in AKG's as well as squalene. Our oil is processed under the most stringent conditions. In order to overcome variations and provide a standardized product, it is necessary to blend the oils from different species and ages in order to achieve a consistent quality of oil. The result of such a blend is BioMarine's Deep Ocean Shark Liver Oil, containing guaranteed levels and ratios of AKG's and squalene, together with other important natural fatty acids and ingredients. These products are sourced from New Zealand, Tasmania, and the North Sea. At the recommended dose levels (around 1000mg daily), BioMarine Shark Liver Oil is safe to take on a regular basis without the usual concerns relative to the adverse side effects evident in modern-day medicines.

Squalene

Squalene is widespread in nature; sebum, the body's own lubricant contains up to 10% squalene. The highest concentrations of squalene are found in the livers of deep ocean sharks. This compound performs several very important functions in the body and is an essential component for good health. In one of its more subtle functions, it acts as a precursor for the biosynthesis of cholesterol. Because of its particular structure, the body can use squalene as a raw material to synthesize this important sterol molecule. Although we are all now very conscious of the problems associated with high blood levels of cholesterol, the fact remains that cholesterol plays a vital part in our health and is needed for the production of a wide range of essential hormones including estrogen and progesterone. Squalene acts as a carrier of oxygen molecules to our cells thus enhancing metabolic efficiency.

Although it may seem a paradox, squalene is also a valuable antioxidant. Even though its antioxidant effects are quite separate from its oxygen-carrying function, both are due to squalene's unsaturated structure. Antioxidants perform as scavengers, acting to neutralize the harmful radicals produced by pollutants and chemicals. In chemical terms, free radicals are molecules in which one or more of the electrons making up the molecule are unpaired; this makes them highly reactive with a potential to damage the sensitive membranes of our cells. By scavenging these free radicals, antioxidants assist in protecting our cells and tissues from their harmful effects. Since there are now more than eighty diseases associated with free radical damage, antioxidants are now regarded as one of the most important elements in controlling arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, and other such diseases.

The bactericidal effects of squalene has been known and used for many years. The fishermen and their families who used deep ocean shark liver oil for its healing properties were obviously unaware of how it worked. When applied to the skin, squalene has an excellent emollient effect, keeping the skin soft and pliable. Squalene is also considered to have fungicidal properties and also to reduce the potential for sunburn.

Although there are some who claim that the best way to include squalene in the diet is to take the pure substance in concentrated form, squalene is most effective in conjunction with alkylglycerols and Omega-3 fatty acids in a balanced blend of BioMarine New Zealand Deep Ocean Shark Liver Oil.
