Animal, lab and clinical studies indicate that the special compounds in the shark’s liver particularly squalene and alkylglycerols (AKGs) can allow you to take on the worst winter – or any season for that matter – can throw at you.

Squalene, also found in the heart-healthy oils of the olive and palm, is a powerful antioxidant that sucks up oxygen free radicals generated from exposure to UV light. It also supports your adaptive immune system – the white blood cell patrol that circulates through your bloodstream. Squalene helps your body generate a healthy response from this part of your immune system.

It is such a safe immune-support nutrient that it has been added to infant vaccines with no record of adverse effects. Shark Liver Oil’s ingredient squalene doesn’t work alone to keep your immune system strong and ready. Shark Liver Oil also has a high concentration of alkylglycerols (AKGs). Alkylglycerols are glycerol ether lipids that are naturally occurring in “blood forming” organs, such as the liver, spleen, and even bone marrow. They’re also found in a type of white blood cells called neutrophils and in human and cow milk. It’s hard not to see how AKGs play a big role in immunity. Since AKGs are found in marrow tissue and the spleen, it makes sense that this is where the immune system supports the body’s white blood cells necessary to combat harmful invaders.
