History of Bird's Nest (Continue)
contains an epidermal growth factor, and water extraction of Swiftlet nest can directly stimulate cell growth/regeneration and enhance the effectiveness of mitogen (the initiator in cell division). Also, this active protein in the nest makes it a very useful tonic for people with weak digestion systems (e.g. elderly people), and for people that need a very rapid cell regeneration and development (e.g.: pregnant women, growing children). The most recent published research confirms that the high content of water-soluble glyco-protein in swiftlet nest promotes cell division within the immune system.
