Nutritionally, sea cucumbers have an impressive profile of valuable nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin B1 (thiamine), Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (niacin), and minerals, especially calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. . .
Sea cucumber protein, specially produced from the body wall, is rich in glycine, glutamic acid, and arginine. Glycine can stimulate the production and release of IL-2 and B cell antibody and thus contributes to enhancing phagocytosis. Glycine and glutamic acid are essential components for cells to synthesize glutathione which can stimulate activation and proliferation of NK cells. Arginine can enhance cell immunity by promoting the activation and proliferation of T-cell. Due to these amino acid components, sea cucumbers have remarkable function in immune regulation.
