Fish Maw Myths - Can it be eaten by everyone, young or old?

花膠迷思 - 男女老幼都能食用嗎? - On Hing Dry Seafood

There's a popular myth that fish maw's benefits are more pronounced for women beautifying the skin, nourishing the fetus, and aiding postpartum recovery. Does this mean fish maw isn't suitable for men? So, who is it suitable for?

  • Miss

Fish maw, rich in collagen, is a coveted tonic for women. Its benefits for the skin are particularly pronounced: it replenishes nutrients lost through metabolism, slows aging, and reduces facial wrinkles, nourishing the yin and beautifying the complexion. The benefits are even more pronounced for pregnant women. Pregnancy provides significant nutrients to the baby, and childbirth can be considered a major drain. Therefore, fish maw nourishes the fetus before delivery, ensuring adequate nutrient absorption and healthy fetal development. Postpartum, it also helps replenish the mother's depleted Qi and blood, regulates the body, and aids wound healing.

  • Men

A common misconception in the market is that "for nourishment, men should eat sea cucumbers, while women should eat fish maw." However, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the arginine in fish maw can nourish the kidneys and replenish essence, vital energy, and benefit men's prostate health. When combined with liver-protecting ingredients in soups, it instantly nourishes the liver, kidneys, and qi and blood, alleviating fatigue, improving physical fitness, and strengthening the body. Therefore, fish maw is suitable for men as well.

As our bodies age, our bones and joints deteriorate. The calcium in fish maw helps prevent osteoporosis, while the collagen helps repair soft tissue between joints, strengthening bones and muscles and alleviating arthritis and pain. Its various nutrients also help replenish vitamins and other trace elements that may be under-absorbed in daily life. Furthermore, fish maw is high in protein, low in fat, and low in cholesterol, so there's no need to worry about overeating it putting a strain on a body with a slow metabolism.

  • Child

The nutrients in fish maw can boost immunity, help maintain a healthy body, and improve nutrient absorption during development. For the digestive system, eating fish maw can promote gastrointestinal absorption and prevent loss of appetite. Its rich mineral content helps promote bone growth in children. However, since young infants' gastrointestinal function is not fully developed, it is not recommended for consumption. It is recommended for children over three years old who can eat solid foods on their own, but the amount should be limited.

  • Fitness enthusiasts

Fish maw is a popular choice for those of all ages and genders, focusing on their health and fitness. Its high nutritional value makes it a perfect daily supplement for strengthening and repairing muscle tissue, as it's high in protein and low in fat. Can fish maw actually help build muscle while reducing fat? We'll have to wait and see!
