Nutritional Value and Benefits of Sialic Acid

2024-07-21

Sialic acid, also known as bird's nest acid, is a group of neuraminic acid (9-carbon monosaccharides) derivatives. Its scientific name is N-acetylneuraminic acid. This natural carbohydrate is widespread in the biological world, commonly found in vertebrates, mammals, and various plant tissues.

Source and Characteristics of Bird's Nest Acid

Bird's nests, formed by the solidified saliva of swiftlets, are extremely rich in bird's nest acid, far exceeding most other biological sources. Research shows that the bird's nest acid content in bird's nests is fifty times higher than in ordinary substances, giving it significant health benefits.

Role of Bird's Nest in Pregnancy Preparation

Consuming bird's nest during pregnancy preparation is a great way to supplement nutrition. The primary nutrients in bird's nests include water-soluble proteins, carbohydrates, trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium, and the essential component "neuraminic acid" or "bird's nest acid." The various amino acids and collagen in bird's nests can alleviate symptoms like nausea, loss of appetite, and rapid heartbeat in pregnant women. Additionally, the epidermal growth factor in bird's nests can stimulate cell division and proliferation, repairing damaged skin and effectively preventing the formation of stretch marks.

Benefits of Bird's Nest Acid for the Brain and Immune System

Bird's nest acid promotes the transmission speed of information between brain nerve cells. The sialic acid content in nerve cell membranes is 20 times higher than in other cells, and human brain cells contain 2-4 times more sialic acid than other animals. Sialic acid in breast milk provides immunity for infants during early growth and enhances the absorption of vitamins and minerals in the intestines. As sialic acid is not degraded by digestive enzymes, it can enter the intestines through the digestive tract and prevent pathogenic bacteria and viruses from adhering to cells, thus combating various pathogens.
