As a precious seafood product, sea cucumber offers abundant health benefits and nutritional value. It is rich in up to 86.43% protein, along with various trace elements and vitamins, providing comprehensive nutritional support for the human body. Sea cucumber functions to nourish the kidneys, fortify essence, and moisten dryness. Its arginine content is an essential component of male sperm cells and helps regulate sex hormones. Sea cucumber can prevent cardiovascular diseases, as the fucoidan in it helps lower blood lipids and inhibit blood coagulation. Additionally, sea cucumber boosts immunity, with saponins and amino acids that can inhibit tumor growth and metastasis.
