Shark Liver Oil is regarded as especially beneficial to the immune system as it is rich in alkoxyglycerols, which support the production of white blood cells in our body.

Shark liver oil is used along with usual cancer drugs to treat leukaemia and other cancers; to prevent radiation illness from cancer therapy; to prevent the common cold flu and swine flu, and to boost the body’s immune system. It is also used for increasing white cell counts during treatment with anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapy). White blood cells are important in fighting off infection, but many are killed by chemotherapy.

There is, however, limited evidence based on clinical trials on human beings.
