Shark and Bovine Cartilage

Cartilage supplements promoted to block angiogenesis and starve tumors of blood supply. Shark and bovine cartilage products were promoted after claims that sharks do not get cancer and that cartilage blocks angiogenesis. NCI and Cancer Research UK note sharks can get cancer and clinical evidence has not shown cartilage cures cancer.
