Has research been done on squalamine?
Yes, Squalamine is being investigated by Johns Hopkins School of Medicine researchers, Dr. Henry Brem, Allen Sills, Mark Donowitz and their collaborators for its tumor destroying ability. Squalamine destroyed the tumor spreading ability in rabbits by suppressing the growth of new blood vessels needed to support the growth of tumors. Squalamine halted the growth of brain tumors in rats and prolonged the lives of the laboratory animals. At the 1996 annual meeting of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons in Minneapolis, Dr. Brem commented, “Our findings present evidence that squalamine may work against brain cancer.” Preliminary studies with certain brain cancer cells (glioma) have been encouraging, and the group plans clinical studies by the second half of 1998.

Squalamine is also effective against many yeast, fungus and bacterial infections and especially offers promise to immuno-compromised persons such as AIDS and cancer patients. • Q. Can squalamine be taken orally? A.
Yes, squalamine has been investigated by Johns Hopkins School of Medicine researchers, Dr. Henry Brem, Allen Sills, Mark Donowitz and their collaborators for its potential cellular-oriented health effects. How much Squalamine is in the Squalamax product? Approximately 150ug per gram. Can I take the Ultramarine Shark Liver Oil Gelcaps product along with the the Squalamax product? Yes, the Ultramarine Shark Liver Oil Gelcaps product contains Squalene, Alkylglycerols (AKG’s), essential fatty acids, and other compounds which enhance the effectiveness of Squalamax. We suggest you take 2 capsules of each daily, unless your health challenge is more serious. What is angiogensis and what benefit does Squalamax provide? Figure 1: Angiogenesis Angiogenesis is a function in the body where unhealthy cells develop their own blood vessel structure in order to nourish and support themselves (See Figure 1.). The immune system in response uses certain compounds in the body to naturally counter angiogene
