Manufacturer: Life Extension Research has shed additional light on the multi-faceted benefits of alkylglycerols standardized from shark liver oil. The biologic effects of alkylglycerols include stimulation of white blood cells, macrophages, platelets, and cytokines.57-65* Alkylglycerols act as immune system boosting agents.57-65* As a natural bacteria fighter, alkylglycerols are able to stimulate the helper T-cells, which are highly sensitized to the bacteria-infected macrophage, and thus the body is able to destroy the bacteria. (For immune system stimulation, one or two softgel capsules daily is sufficient for most individuals.)57-65* As an antifungal, alkylglycerols are beneficial because they are known to increase the production of certain cytokines. (The daily dose of one 1000-mg Shark Liver Oil softgel capsule, containing 200 mg of alkylglycerol each, taken for up to 30 days, has been shown to be a powerful antifungal.)57-65* The Life Extension Buyers Club's alkylglycerol extract is called Norwegian Shark Liver Oil and is processed from the livers of sharks found in the waters off the coast of Norway. Each softgel capsule is standardized to provide 200 mg of alkylglycerols.

Dosage and Use - Take one softgel capsule daily with food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
Caution At no time should the maximum recommended dose be exceeded. Do not take shark liver oil for more than 30 days because it may cause the overproduction of blood platelets. In case of chronic use, over 30 days straight, a possible, albeit rare, side effect known as thrombocythemia (excess thrombocytes) can occur, leading to a tendency for the blood to clot. This condition is easily diagnosed with a blood test. Consult with your physician if thrombocythemia is a consideration. Warnings - Keep out of reach of children.
