Mediterranean Musselいがい (ムール貝) · Igai · หอยแมลงภู่

Mussels provide an exceptional concentration of Vitamin $B_{12}$ ($10\mu g$) and Selenium ($37\mu g$), which act synergistically to maintain hematological integrity and reduce oxidative stress. The high heme-iron content ($3.5mg$) is highly bioavailable, making it effective for improving iron status in cases of sub-clinical deficiency. Additionally, the presence of specific sulfated polysaccharides in shellfish matrices has been associated with modulating gut microbiota and suppressing systemic pro-inflammatory cytokines, supporting long-term metabolic stability.
