Wikipedia
shark oil
Shark liver oil is an oil obtained from the livers of sharks. It has been used for centuries as a folk remedy to promote the healing of wounds and as a remedy for respiratory tract and digestive system problems. It is still promoted as a dietary supplement, and additional claims have been made that it can treat other maladies such as cancer, HIV, radiation sickness, swine flu, and the common cold. To date, none of these claims has been medically validated and shark liver oil (alone) is not a medication prescribed or utilized by American physicians. However, it is a component of some moisturizing skin lotions and hemorrhoid medications.

shark oil
Shark oil refers to the oil extracted from the liver of several species of sharks. The oil is often rich in vitamins A, D, and E, squalene, and alkyl glycerols, and has traditionally been used in cosmetics, health supplements, and as a lubricant. In some cultures, it is also used for medicinal purposes. Its extraction is controversial due to the contribution to the decline of shark populations.
