A method of extracting a pig's foot by homogenizing the cartilage of the pig's foot, treating the homogenized cartilage with protease and fractionating with a SAX column is provided. A physiologically active composition, health supplementary food and drug are produced using the pig's foot extract containing glycosaminoglycan and effective for pregnant women and nursing mothers, old and feeble persons who are immunodepressed and general adults at risk of disturbances in blood circulation by a thrombus. The extraction of a pig's foot is performed by the steps of: homogenizing the cartilage of the pig's foot; treating the homogenized cartilage with protease under basic conditions; centrifuging and washing; and fractionating with 3% and 16% NaCl using a SAX column. The physiologically active composition, health supplementary food and drug have the pig's foot extract containing glycosaminoglycan as an active ingredient and pharmaceutically acceptable additives. |
