Abstract

Edible bird’s nest (EBN) is made of saliva secreted by specific swiftlets mixed with feathers and has been regarded as the most prized health delicacy and medicine among Chinese community. Female is the major consumer group of EBN. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive and sufficient evidence supporting multiple claims of EBN’s benefits to health. Therefore, this paper summarized the research status of EBN in female health. Recently, relevant animal models, cell models, as well as a few clinical experiments have revealed EBN potentially plays a regulatory role on females in normal stages, preparing for pregnancy, pregnancy and perinatal period, and menopause. Research on EBN’s effect was reflected in skin health and immune regulation for ordinary women, while for women who were preparing for pregnancy or pregnant, it was focused on the reproductive system and neural development of the fetus. Additionally, EBN could be applied to prevent and cure menopause syndrome caused by low estrogen levels, including neurological disorders, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases. This paper is expected to reveal the bioactive effects of EBN from a scientific perspective and provide a reference for fundamental research on bioactive components and the mechanism and product development of EBN.

Key words： edible bird’s nest; sialic acid; estrogen; bioactive peptide
