# Edible Bird’s Nest:
Essential Skin Foundation

Edible bird’s nest (EBN) is a natural substance derived from the saliva of swiftlets, small birds known for their exceptional nest-building abilities. EBN contains protein, carbohydrates, ash, and fat, with a notable high protein content rich in glycoproteins like chondroitin glycosaminoglycans. These compounds are crucial for bone and skin health, with additional components such as glucosamine and sialic acid known for relieving joint discomfort and promoting skin regeneration.

Scientific studies support these claims. Research in the Food Chemistry journal has analyzed EBN’s composition, confirming its nutritional profile. Additionally, studies have highlighted the presence of beneficial glycoproteins in EBN, showcasing its potential health benefits.

Moreover, EBN provides essential amino acids vital for daily dietary needs. Studies indicate that its proteins remain intact even after digestion, suggesting potential benefits for the immune system.

In summary, EBN is a valuable natural resource packed with essential nutrients beneficial for musculoskeletal health and immune function. Further research can uncover its full therapeutic potential.
