What are the Active Nutrition in Edible Bird's Nest?

Edible bird's nest contains mainly glycoproteins, carbohydrates, amino acids and mineral salts. Some of the Active Nutrition include:

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
EGF is one of the glycoproteins that stimulates cell proliferation. The process by which EGF encourages cell growth also stimulates the production of fibrous proteins that improve skin elasticity such as collagen and elastin. EGF has many benefits to our skin, including wrinkle improvement, hydration, and pigmentation prevention. 

Sialic Acids and N-acetylgalactosamine (galNAc)
Sialic Acid is the major carbohydrates found in Edible Bird's Nest. Many studies have reported the pharmacological effects of Sialic Acid to human health. GalNAc is vital for brain development, cellular communications and possesses antibacterial properties. GalNac also helps the generation of glucosamine in preventing cartilage deterioration and in relieving the symptoms associated with arthritis.

Proteins and Amino Acids
There are 18 types of amino acids in Edible Bird's Nest that are necessary for human body especially for cells growth and regeneration. Some of the amino acids are also vital for the cell’s energy production, cell function regulation and immune system generation. Protein is the major nutrient that is important for metabolic functions, body tissues repairing and regenaration. 

Mineral Salts
Sodium, magnesium and potassium and calcium are the major minerals content in Edible Bird's Nest. These minerals are essential to human body as they are vital for the activation of many enzyme reactions in human body. For example, sodium balances the electrolyte, body fluid volume; maintain the nerve impulse condition while magnesium maintains the alkaline balance and control of the neuromuscular activity.
