Hi everyone,
I would like to contribute some things that I have learnt when doing some research about bird nest. Basically, I think that bird nest helps in our health and well being due to the composition of the bird nest itself.
According to research, bird nest contains about 53.26% protein (Su et al 1998). In addition, bird nest contains all the eighteen types of amino acid needed by the human body for growth and tissue reparation.
Bird nest also has high content of glycoprotein. According to Kong et al (1986), the protein is recognised to improve immune functions.
Bird nest is also suitable for vegetarians. In fact it provides two types of amino acid which are lysine and tryptophan,that are usually not found in plant proteins.
In a more recent study by Guo et al (2006), edible bird nest is suggested to be a safe natural source in prevention of influenza viruses.
