Historically, shark liver oil has been used by the culture of northern Europe as a folk remedy for wounds and the flu. Shark liver oil contains a number of substances including alkylglycerol and squalmine, both of which are believed to possess medical properties. Much of the interest in shark liver oil stems from its alkylglycerol content which is believed to act as a potential complement to traditional cancer treatments and as an immune boosting agent.
In animal studies, squalamine has been shown to fight cancers of the lung, breast, brain, and skin by choking off the tumor's blood supply. Also found in high concentrations in shark liver oil are omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin A. Shark liver oil has been used in lip balms to moisturize and prevent chapping, and claims have been made that it may even help heal canker sores. However, evidence is weak supporting claims that shark liver oil can cure serious diseases such as AIDS, arthritis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or psoriasis. Most meaningful studies have focused on the possible benefits of shark liver oil in fighting cancer and infections.
