Answer by Dr. Ru: About Shark Cartilage usage in lactation
It contains condroitin sulfate, calcium and phosphorus. There is not enough scientific evidence of its efficacy neither on arthritis, cancer, psoriasis, macular degeneration nor as a treatment of pain or inflammation. Very expensive supplement. Risk of hypercalcemia if the prescribing dose is increased.
