Side effects of squid ink

Generally speaking, cuttlefish ink does not bring any side effects to the body, and it contains anti-cancer substances that are very effective for the human body. This is why it is popular among people. The most important thing is that after taking it, cuttlefish ink can effectively reduce the high cholesterol in people's bodies and will not cause any three high diseases.

After the anti-cancer activity of squid ink was discovered, many studies have followed up to gain a glimpse into the mysterious anti-cancer composition and effects of squid ink. A report published in the Asian-Australian Journal of Animal Science (AJAS) by Guangdong Ocean University in China pointed out that the vast majority of squid ink is squid melanin, protein, fat, etc., and it also contains polysaccharides that can enhance the effect of the anti-cancer substance "superoxide dismutase" (SOD).

The research team diluted the ink and dissolved it into the diet of experimental chickens in different doses. They then tested the blood samples of the experimental chickens and found that the more squid ink in their diet, the stronger the antioxidant capacity in their bodies. This means that adding squid ink to your diet can not only enhance immunity but also has anti-cancer effects.

Traditional Chinese medicine literature has long recorded that cuttlefish ink can astringe and stop bleeding, consolidate semen and stop leukorrhea, reduce acidity and relieve pain, and remove dampness and heal sores. Clinically, squid ink is mainly used as a hemostatic agent to treat hemorrhagic diseases, such as functional uterine bleeding, gastric bleeding, etc.

From a nutritional point of view, this is because squid juice is rich in mucopolysaccharides, which are important components of human bones, blood vessels, skin, etc. It can also alleviate the symptoms of menopause in menopausal women and achieve anti-aging effects.

Moreover, squid ink contains tasulfarine, which can lower cholesterol and protect the cardiovascular system.

"Taurine" can improve metabolism and help with weight loss. Studies have also shown that it can help women prevent cardiovascular disease in the long run. Taurine can combine with cholic acid, a breakdown product of cholesterol, and excrete it out of the body, preventing cholesterol from accumulating in the body. In addition, the squid's viscera are rich in unsaturated fatty acids DHA and EPA, which help to remove fat and cholesterol from the blood and maintain blood vessel elasticity, and also have a preventive effect on cardiovascular disease.
