Sea cucumbers are rich in protein, niacin, and riboflavin and contain substances thought to influence human health, including:
- Chondroitin sulfate (a substance found in human cartilage)
- Coelomic fluid (a compound that functions similarly to white blood cells in humans)
- Palmitic, stearic, and linoleic acid (fatty acids with potent antioxidant effects)
- Squalene (a compound that acts the precursor to steroids)
- Triterpenoids (a class of compounds thought to slow cancer growth)
Alternative practitioners believe that these compounds can prevent or treat a wide range of health disorders, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, constipation, erectile dysfunction, periodontitis, and even certain type of cancers. Sea cucumber is also said to fight inflammation, promote wound healing, and slow the aging process.
