Here are five notable health benefits associated with sea cucumbers:

Cucumaria frondosa:
Nutrient Rich & Bioactive Compound Dense

Wild Icelandic sea cucumbers, the latin name cucumaria frondosa, are remarkable creatures that can survive in a harsh arctic environment. Some species of sea cucumbers, like the Icelandic one, have a specialized flower that works as a net to capture plankton and other nutrients from the ocean around them. To manage to both travel and get to the highest peaks on the sea floor, they need to travel with suction feet on their skin and a special ability to expand their skin. Icelandic sea cucumber can up to eightfold their skin in size to travel with currents to the best areas to get healthy nutrition from the ocean currents. Icelandic sea cucumbers, therefore, have some special features to help them survive, such as high skin elasticity, regenerative mechanisms, and bioactive weapons. Due to these special abilities, the Icelandic sea cucumber has a rare volume of many different bioactive compounds that science is proving to be very beneficial to humans.
