Besides its beauty and skincare benefits, as well as its ability to nourish the skin and replenish blood, what other benefits does fish maw offer?
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), fish maw (collagen) has significant nourishing and therapeutic effects. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that fish maw can tonify the kidneys and replenish essence, nourish the tendons and meridians, and treat kidney deficiency leading to seminal emission and postpartum wind-spasms.
Fish maw is rich in high-grade collagen protein, which nourishes yin, beautifies the skin, tonifies the kidneys, and strengthens bodily functions. It is highly suitable for regular consumption by those with sore lower back and knees, and general weakness.

Clinical observations show a 78% cure rate for infertility.

It helps the ovarian follicular function gradually return to normal, restores menstruation, delays menopause by 5-10 years, and helps you regain a youthful appearance.
12. Fish maw for pregnant women: "Mothers who consume fish maw give birth to babies with excellent immune systems and skin. They are always the fairest babies in the delivery room!"

As the pregnancy progresses, the belly gets larger, and many people develop stretch marks at this time. With sufficient collagen, not only will stretch marks be avoided, but even wrinkles and crow's feet will be reduced!
