Marlys... you are so right about Benefin Shark Cartilage. I had an achilles tendon problem back in the mid-nineties and my doc was NO help. I suffered for a couple of years with it and then I read about shark cartilage and had nothing to lose so.. took about 12 caps or so twice per day. I even made my own salve out of shark cartilage and lanolin and applied it at nite to the underside of my foot. It took about 2 - 4 wks but it worked !!! It has tremendous anti-inflammatory properties, about 1000 times more than bovine cartilage.
I find the Compassionet site a little pricey but I'm not sure what size bottle you are referring to at $ 85.00 x bottle. Vitacost has the 150 count bottles for $ 27.95 and free shipping if you spend over $ 49.00 an order. http://www.vitacost.com/Lane-Labs-Shark-Cartilage Amazon.com has the larger, economical powder size for $ 75.00 .. don't know about shipping. If anyone decides to give shark cartilage a whirl.. only use the Lane Labs brand and plan on using the maximum dose for several weeks. ...
