It is more suitable as a tonic for people with weak constitution, true yin deficiency, and mental overwork.

In addition, fish maw is the best choice for women to supplement collagen. 70% of the protein in human skin is collagen. The network structure it forms supports the skin, making it look smooth, plump, soft and elastic. As we age, the rate of collagen loss in skin tissue gradually exceeds the rate of production, so the skin loses elasticity, becomes thinner and aged, and becomes sagging, wrinkled, and dry. Therefore, timely supplementation of collagen can restore the skin's youthful vitality.
