Many have heard about the beneficial properties of trepang, but not everyone fully understands what trepang is. You will find everything about the Far Eastern trepang in this article. Let's take a closer look at what is useful for trepang and how to use it for human health.

 

Apostichopus japonicus from Latin means Far Eastern trepang – it is a mollusk of the Holothuria class, a type of Echinoderm. It lives and breeds in the waters of the following seas: Yellow, East China, Japan, Sea of Okhotsk. It is found at a depth of up to 150 m . The lifespan is 10-11 years, during this time the trepang can reach a body length of up to 43 cm, a width of up to 9-10 cm, a mass of 1.3-1.5 kg.

 

This unique mollusk is not only very beautiful, but also very valuable in its composition.

 

WHAT IS THE USE OF TREPANG?

The amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates per 100 g of trepang: B: 7.3 g, W: 0.6 g, Y: 0 g. Kcal: 34

 

As a percentage, trepang meat consists of 97% protein, 3% fat, and no carbohydrates at all. The proteins that enter the body, in turn, contain amino acids and proteins, which are an important building material for muscle cells. The heart muscles are especially in need of them. Proteins also contribute to the regeneration of skin, connective tissue, muscle tissue, the growth of new hair and healthy nails.

Trepang fat contains a large amount of valuable unsaturated fatty acids (LFA), phosphatides.

NLCs (omega-9, omega-6, omega-3) play a huge role in the formation of prostaglandins, fat synthesis and cholesterol metabolism. Stimulate human immune defense, promote faster wound healing, have antihistamine and anti-inflammatory effect. Most NLCs are irreplaceable for humans, our body practically does not produce them, so it is important to ensure their supply from the outside. And it is better from natural products, and not from chemical preparations.

Phosphatides also do not form in humans on their own, and they are extremely necessary for the normal operation of many organs and systems. Phosphatides provide vital activity and regeneration of damaged cells of the heart, liver, skin, nervous system and others, they:

- remove toxins from the liver;

- prevent the formation of atherosclerosis by dissolving unnecessary cholesterol;

- prevent the destruction of brain cells, which improves memory and protects against Alzheimer's disease;

- positively affect the work of the gastrointestinal tract;

- improve performance and much more.

IT IS NOT A MEDICINE.
