Squalamax Information
Squalamine is an essential ingredient which is contained in Shark Liver Oil. However, Shark Liver Oil contains many other exotic compounds in addition to squalamine. Squalamax only contains a highly concentrated form of squalamine from deep water sharks and none of the other ingredients. By taking Squalamax, significantly more squalamine is ingested than by taking Shark Liver Oil capsules alone.
Squalamax can be taken by itself, however, by taking it along with Shark Liver Oil the effects of both products will be dramatically enhanced.
Squalamine is not a protein. Instead, it is the first known example of a class of compounds called aminosterols, each a steroid chemically linked to an amino acid. Proteins are easily destroyed by digestive enzymes in the stomach, however, squalamine remains unscathed through the digestive tract.
Benefits of Squalamine
Angiogenesis is a function in the body where unhealthy cells develop their own blood vessel structure in order to nourish and support themselves. The immune system in response uses certain compounds in the body to naturally counter angiogenesis. This normal body function is called anti-angiogenesis.
If the immune system is successful in carrying out this designed function of nature, unhealthy cells can not survive. However, if the body is deficient in these vital compounds, anti-angiogenesis can not occur. Therefore, it is important to supplement the body with natural anti-angiogenesis factors.
Squalamine is an aminosterol compound which the body readily uses to carry out its normal anti-angiogenesis function. Squalamine has an extremely high bio- availability of these active compounds and as a result is very important to be ingested as a supplement to the human diet.
Squalamine also contains many other factors which dynamically support the immune system in addition to its anti-angiogenesis factors.
