Many people do not know that it turns out protein content in cork fish is higher than salmon. Fish that has the Latin name channa striata is known as fresh fish that many live in Indonesian waters.
Research shows that the nutrients and animal proteins in cork fish are very powerful for growth and healing process. Cork fish is even very suitable for consumption by pregnant women.
Cork contains albumin protein, omega-3 fatty acids needed by pregnant women. Compared with salmon, nutrient fish cork higher, "said General Manager PT Prima Medika Laboratories, Daniel Than.
Related to the efficacy of cork fish, Daniel mentions many people do not yet know. By eating cork fish also, pregnant women will get enough nutrition.
According to him, in addition to carbohydrate nutrient components, fat, protein and nutritional balance, pregnant women need micronutrients, one albumin. The human body produces albumin, but needs to be maintained adequately through food intake.
"Albumin is a plasma protein in the blood that serves as a means of transporting nutrients throughout the body and liquid balancing in the body," he said.
After deep research, Indonesian native fish that is cork fish has higher albumin content than salmon. Although the albumin content in the blood is very small, ie only 3.4 - 5.5 deciliter, but the role is very large because every nutrient in the body will be brought by albumin.
"One cork has a protein extract of albumin content of 30.3 percent, higher than salmon, only rich in omega-3,6 and omega-9 alone," he said.
Albumin is also beneficial for anyone, both children in its infancy, and for pregnant women until labor. Because cork is a freshwater fish, there is no risk of allergy when consumed. Allergies are found only in marine fish species only.
"If a pregnant woman needs her albumin to be fulfilled, the baby will grow rapidly for nine months in the stomach, and if the albumin is lacking, the child will be malnourished and the growth will not be optimal," he said.
In addition to the fish cork, albumin intake, he added, can also be obtained from egg whites. However, to meet the needs of protein as much as 60 grams per day, it takes 10 egg white eggs a day. Surely this much egg consumption will not be able to be satisfied by the community.
"Looking at this high protein requirement, Prima Median Laboratories launched Albusmin which is a cork fish extract with high levels of protein albumin, amino acids and minerals," he said.
This supplement, proven to facilitate the community, especially pregnant women to meet the needs of albumim that acts as a feeder, so that the maximum growth of fetal growth and recovery process after delivery more smoothly.
