Draft Compositional Guideline - Shark cartilage derived Chondroitin Sulfate
Shark cartilage derived chondroitin sulfate powder, intended for use in encapsulated, tabletted or powdered nutritional supplements, comprises predominantly the glycosaminoglycan chondroitin-6-sulfate, but also a lesser, variable proportion of chondroitin-4-sulfate and dermatan sulfate. Small amounts of other glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), protein and calcium may be present. The product may be combined with a flow agent to assist in encapsulation or tabletting.

Every edition of Product and Information Letter is delivered to your address with YOUR name and address in view on the letter, with a link that allows you to remove THAT name from the subscription list. If you try to send this removal message from an address different from the one you used to send in your original confirmation, then you will get a warning notice first, sent to the subscription address, asking you to confirm that you want to be removed from the list -- by replying to THAT request for confirmation, you will then be automatically removed.
