Our Shark Liver Oil supplement it is standardized for alkylglycerols, an important oil for human health.* Alkylglycerols are found naturally in human milk. They are highly concentrated in blood building organs (bone marrow, liver, and spleen). This nutrient has been used in Scandinavia for 70 years as a natural form of immune support.*

An alkylglycerol is two glycerols linked together by an oxygen molecule. Glycerols are an alcohol-sugar compound and occur widely in nature. The alcohol part of the compound (not like beer or wine) is a solvent, making a glycerol fat soluble. Glycerols are part of the phospholipid structure of all cell membranes and are part of the structure of triglycerides (three fatty acids connected to one glycerol make a triglyceride).

Alkylglycerols have a unique bond connecting the two glycerols, called an ether bond (an oxygen bond instead of a common hydrogen bond). This ether bond repels water, causing significant attraction to fatty structures like cell membranes.* Because the glycerol component has solvent properties, this is a unique fat-soluble nutrient. It is known to cross the blood-brain barrier (a fatty barrier).*

Cell studies show that alkylglycerols are rapidly taken up by cell membranes and are metabolized to help produce membrane phospholipids like phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol. These compounds are essential for the health of cell membranes and their proper function.*
