FAQ
- What is shark liver oil and what does shark liver oil do for the body?
Shark liver oil is a naturally occurring oil derived from the livers of certain deep-sea sharks. It contains unique compounds such as alkylglycerols (AKGs) and squalene, which are naturally present in the body and have been studied for their role in supporting immune health and overall wellness. Shark liver oil is commonly used as a nutritional supplement to support healthy immune function and antioxidant activity. - What are alkylglycerols (AKGs)?
Alkylglycerols, or AKGs, are naturally occurring lipids found in shark liver oil, as well as in small amounts in human breast milk, bone marrow, and other tissues. AKGs have been studied for their role in supporting normal immune system function and are considered one of the key bioactive compounds that make shark liver oil unique. - What is squalene and why is it important?
Squalene is a naturally occurring compound found in shark liver oil, olive oil, and the human body. It serves as a precursor in the body's production of sterols and is valued for its antioxidant properties. Squalene helps protect cells from oxidative stress and contributes to overall wellness as part of a healthy lifestyle. - What makes shark liver oil unique?
Shark liver oil is unique because it naturally contains both alkylglycerols (AKGs) and squalene, two compounds that are not commonly found together in significant amounts in other dietary supplements. This distinctive combination makes shark liver oil a popular choice for individuals seeking nutritional support for immune health, antioxidant protection, and overall wellness. - What should I look for in a shark liver oil supplement?
Look for a shark liver oil supplement that clearly identifies the amount of shark liver oil provided and, when available, highlights key compounds such as alkylglycerols (AKGs) and squalene. High-quality formulas should also be manufactured according to strict quality standards and provide transparent ingredient information to help you make an informed choice. - Is Swanson Shark Liver Oil suitable for special diets?
Swanson Shark Liver Oil is non-GMO. However, it is not vegan or vegetarian because it contains shark-derived ingredients and a gelatin softgel, and it is not certified gluten free.
