Marine proteins

Our crab meal products have a range of tasty marine proteins. The protein content varies between 12 to 55% and is dependent on the type of crab used in the meal. 

 

Proteins are crucial in maintaining human health and provide significant potential for various food-related purposes. The world protein demand is projected to double by 2050 and it's crucial to continue exploring alternative proteins sources from marine life.

 

Natural source of taurine

Crab meal is a natural source of taurine which is considered a semi-essential amino acid though our bodies naturally produces it but they douse it synthesize protein. You can find it in your brain, eyes, heart and muscles.

 

Taurine helps your body to maintain proper hydration, enhance digestion, regulate mineral levels, especially Calcium in specific types of cells, supports the function of the central nerve system and supports your retinas and protect them against degenerative diseases.

Minerals

Crab meal is rich in calcium and phosphorus which are both essential minerals for building and keeping bones strong and healthy especially when they work together and Calcium without phosphorus  is sometimes referred to as Batman without Robin.

 

They also have other important functions  such as transmission of nerve signals, muscle contraction, involvement in cellular processes including energy production and DNA synthesis. 

 

A proper balance of calcium and phosphorus is crucial for optimal health. An imbalance can lead to various health problems including osteoporosis and kidney stones. 

 

Natural source of Choline

Choline is an essential  nutrient meaning our bodies can't produce enough of it on its own and needs to be obtain from dietary sources.

 

Since Choline is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine that helps communication between nerve cells, choline is essential for the health of the brain and nervous system such as  memory, mood regulation and muscle control .

It's also a structural component of cell membranes that surround your body cells.

Chitin

Chitin is a natural polysaccaride, a biopolymer that consist of a long chain of N- acetylglucosamine units, a derivative of glucose.

 

Chitin is the second largest natural organic compound after cellulose (in plants) and improves the immune system, skin health and helps fight inflammation.
