Modern views on the efficacy and safety of alkylglycerols (AKG) and purified shark liver oil Ecomer®. Publication 1: analysis of the results of preclinical studies
Keywords:
Ecomer, alkoxy glycerides, alkyl-glyceride, shark liver oil, Ecomer, toxicity, mutagenicity, immune modulating action, anti-inflammatory actionAbstract
Pre-clinical researches of alkoxy glycerides (AKG) crude and purified shark liver oil Ecomer® (Natumin Pharma, Sweden) were analyzed basing on bibliographic sources of various reliability. Results of toxicological researches confirm absence of toxicity and mutagenicity of Ecomer and its scientifically proven formula. Existing data provide sufficient experimental confirmation of immune modulating and anti-inflammatory action of standardized product from liver oil of deep water sharks of northern seas Ecomer. Found data show necessity of analytical research of therapeutic and toxic doses for each certain product made of liver oil of shark AKG of various purification degree. Revealed data supporting immune modulating, hypocholesterolemic, anti-inflammatory action as well as non toxicity of AKG and standardized product Ecomer can’t be extrapolated to low price food supplements with different degree of purification and quality.References
