For centuries, fishermen in Norway, Sweden and Japan consumed shark liver oil as a folk remedy for common colds and flu, wound healing and overall energy. In the early 1900's, marine scientists identified the therapeutic compounds revered in the sharks' golden-hued liver oil as squalene and alkylglycerol (AKG).
We also produce AKG in much smaller amounts in our bone marrow and in mother’s breast milk, the most crucial time for developing her newborn infant's immune system.
Scientific research on shark liver oil, and AKG in particular, continues to demonstrate immune system benefits, aiding the formation of
antibodies and thus increasing the number of white blood cells, killer
cells, and thrombocytes in our blood.
From the deep, unpolluted waters of Antarctica and New
Zealand, Super AKG Shark Liver Oil contains a minimum of 20% alkylglycerols.

Sharks are not killed for the purpose of harvesting their liver oil. Sharks can be caught in deep sea fishing nets and die before being
released. Harvesting the oil from their liver is a byproduct of what
otherwise would be a horrible waste. We support new fishing methods to
prevent the accidental capture of any ocean life.
