In recent years, supplements from sandworms, especially sandworm pulp and sandworm juice, have become increasingly concerned in the field of nutrition and preventive medicine. Not only is it a familiar vegetable, sandworms also contain many biological compounds that have a positive impact on cardiovascular health, metabolism and body movement.
According to Ms. Jamie Johnson, a nutritionist who has registered to practice in the United States, the natural nutrients in sandalwood, including potassium, magnesium, folate, vitamin B2 and characteristic plant pigments, contribute to supporting blood circulation, stabilizing blood sugar and reducing inflammation.
Cardiovascular support and blood pressure control
One of the most researched benefits of almond root is its ability to support lowering blood pressure. Almond root contains a high natural nitrate content, which when introduced into the body will convert into nitric oxide, a substance that dilates blood vessels, thereby helping to reduce pressure on blood vessel walls.
Dr. Andrew Webb, a cardiovascular expert at Queen Mary University London (UK), said: "Increasing the amount of nitric oxide in the body helps improve blood flow and lower blood pressure, especially beneficial for people at high cardiovascular risk.
Some studies in adults, including a group of patients with hypertension related to type 2 diabetes, have noted that adding sandworms can help lower blood pressure significantly. Thanks to improved circulation, oxygen and nutrients are also transported more effectively to the brain and muscles.
Antioxidant, reduces inflammation and protects cells
The characteristic dark red color of amaranth comes from betalain, a group of plant pigments rich in antioxidant properties. Studies show that betalain helps neutralize free radicals, thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage, which is associated with early aging and many chronic diseases.
According to Dr. Jeffrey Blumberg, a nutritional scientist at the Jean Mayer Center for Human Aging Research, Tufts University (USA), antioxidants in food play an important role in protecting DNA and reducing prolonged low-level inflammation in the body.
In addition, some laboratory studies have also shown that betalain has the ability to support lowering bad cholesterol and inhibiting the growth of some harmful microorganisms.
Increase mobility efficiency and support recovery
The natural nitrate in sandalwood root is not only good for the heart but also supports the activity of mitochondria, the "energy factory" of cells. As a result, the body uses energy more efficiently during exercise.
Many studies show that athletes using cider vinegar juice or powder before exercise can improve endurance, increase endurance, and shorten recovery time after exercise.
Impact on blood sugar control needs caution
Some initial studies show that consuming whole gourds can help improve glucose metabolism and reduce hunger blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. However, the results between studies are not consistent, especially when using gourd juice instead of whole gourds.
Experts recommend that people with diabetes or who are taking blood pressure medication should consult a doctor before using supplements from sandalwood root. People with a history of low blood pressure or gallstones should also be cautious, because sandalwood root can lower blood pressure and affect bile metabolism.
In general, amaranth is a food rich in nutritional value, but its use as a supplement needs to be carefully considered, suitable for each individual's health condition.
