Nutrition and beneficial to Health

Sea cucumber has been known and used by the Malays in the Langkawi Island over 300 years ago. It was only at the end of the 1970s that the Malays in other states of Malaysia began to recognise the effectiveness of this substance, especially for the healing of injuries and wounds. "Air Gamat", a Malay term for the extract obtained from the sea cucumber has long been used as part of the traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments which include cuts, wounds, pain and other ailments of inflammatory origin such as joint inflammation and asthma.

Presently, sea cucumber is probably the most popular traditional remedy that is used by Malaysian women to treat injuries and wounds caused by episiotomy. The ointment derived from the lipid soluble part of this marine invertebrate is also used for the treatment of back and joint pain by communities in the Peninsular Malaysia.

Gamat is known by most Chinese as a culinary delicacy to be eaten with soup or eaten raw as an appetiser. It is also highly recommended by Chinese doctors for its medicinal properties as a general health tonic and more specifically for people with chronic joint pain as well as tendonitis, sprains, ligament stress and arthritis. The Chinese have long realised, since the ancient times, its ability to prevent diseases besides using it as a tonic to promote longevity. Traditional Chinese medicine commonly uses sea cucumber in treating weakness, impotence and debility among the elderly, constipation due to intestinal dryness, frequent urination and joint problems.

Researchers believe that sea cucumbers improve the balance of prostaglandins in the body cells which regulate the inflammatory process. They also contain substances known as mucopolysaccharides and chondroitins which are often found lacking in people with arthritis and connective tissue disorders. In addition, sea cucumber is an important source of vitamin A, Bl (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin) and C as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc.

From the modern medical point of view, sea cucumber is a valuable source of several kinds of substances that can serve as natural health products, perhaps bedeveloped as drugs. Since sea cucumber is only consumed as food by a very small segment of the population outside East Asia, most people do not have access to its beneficial components. Thus, extracts of desired sea cucumber materials are put into easy-to-consume forms, such as capsules (hard and soft gelatin), tablets, liquid and jelly.
