General Details

Product Name: Silkworm pupae oil/silkworm chrysalis oil
Used Part: Silk pupae of Bombyx mori
Production Method: Molecular distillation
Appearance: Yellow oil

Silkworm pupae oil, also called silkworm chrysalis oil, contains a variety of biologically active substances, including unsaturated fatty acids. The content of unsaturated fatty acids in silkworm chrysalis oil is higher than 75%, and alpha-linolenic acid is as high as 30%.

Alpha-linolenic acid, as the parent of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, plays an important role in lowering blood lipids. Alpha-linolenic acid is metabolized in the human body to generate eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which can regulate blood lipids, resist thrombosis, and have no symptoms of lipid accumulation in the liver; Mediators, such as interleukins, have a regulatory effect and reduce liver cell damage.

Silkworm chrysalis oil contains very rare odd-numbered carbon fatty acids with strong anti-cancer activity in nature. This substance gradually decreases in middle age, and people cannot synthesize it naturally. Therefore, human immunity is reduced, and anti-cancer and anti-disease activities are reduced.

Moreover, the proportion of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids in silkworm pupae oil is very close to the optimal proportion of fatty acids for human consumption recommended by nutritionists. It is a natural high-quality nutritious edible oil.

Silkworm chrysalis oil is used as an energy source for feeding cells, supporting flight, reproduction, embryonic development, and metamorphosis, and as a source of metabolic water during the process of silkworm metamorphosis. In addition, silkworm pupae oil is rich in many active lipids such as hormones and pheromones, which play an important role in regulating and transmitting information on silkworm growth.

Health Benefits

  1. Lowering liver (blood) lipids and blood pressure.

Silkworm pupae oil can effectively reduce triglycerides, prevent and treat fatty liver, and has a good protective effect on the liver after drinking. It can improve blood quality and vascular environment, effectively soften blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and prevent arteriosclerosis and thrombosis. Silkworm pupae oil α-linolenic acid can increase the activity of enzymes related to fatty acid oxidation in liver mitochondria and microsomes, accelerate fatty acid decomposition through preferential oxidation, reduce TG synthesis substrates, inhibit TG synthase, inhibit Synthesis of TC, and/or promotion of TC metabolism and excretion. When serum TC is reduced, liver TC is also decreased, which significantly increases the activity of serum lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), promoting the production of mature HDL-C and the reverse transport of TC.

  1. Lowering blood sugar

Silkworm chrysalis oil has the effect of promoting the balance of prostaglandins, preventing prostate diseases, improving the insulin secretion function of islet beta-cells, restoring the activity of fatty acid desaturase in diabetic cells, and having an obvious hypoglycemic effect without a rebound.

  1. Weight loss and beauty

Silkworm chrysalis oil can effectively promote the activity of fat mitochondria, consume overmuch calories in the body, and without any side effects, no need to diet or fast; at the same time, α-linolenic acid can participate in the synthesis of human tissue cell membranes, effectively preventing and relieving modern women by increased wrinkles, pigmentation, yellow and dark skin, and premature aging symptoms.

  1. Brain health

Its metabolites of α-linolenic acid are EPA and DHA, commonly known as “brain gold”, which can promote the synthesis of endonuclease acid protein and monoamine neurotransmitters in the brain, and can effectively enhance the memory of mental workers.

  1. Enhance immunity

The occurrence of many diseases is related to the immune dysfunction of the human body. The fatty acids of silkworm pupae oil can enhance the flexibility of the immune cell membrane and increase the vitality of the immune cells, thereby making the human body’s health barrier stronger, effectively preventing the occurrence of sub-health and diseases, and having strong anticancer activity.

  1. Anti-aging

It can significantly improve the activity of superoxide dismutase, reduce free radical metabolites, and has a good anti-aging effect.

  1. Anti-inflammatory

α-linolenic acid in silkworm chrysalis oil is the precursor of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acid. After desaturation and carbon chain elongation, a series of metabolites are generated. It has strong physiological activity and has strong physiological activity against inflammatory mediators, modulating effect, reducing the content of lipid peroxides (MDA) in the liver, reducing stem cell damage.

  1. Improve renal function

α-linolenic acid in silkworm pupae oil can effectively improve renal function, reduce urinary calcium excretion, inhibit the formation of renal calcium oxalate crystals, and increase the sensitivity of skeletal muscle to insulin by acting on the insulin PI3K/PKB signal transduction pathway, reduce or avoid skeletal muscle insulin resistance and glucose metabolism disorders.

The natural steroid hormones in silkworm chrysalis can effectively improve fertility and enhance sexual function; silkworm pupae oil contains the unsaturated fatty acids in the human body that cannot be synthesized by the human body can enhance the flexibility of immune cell membranes and increase the vitality of immune cells. It makes the health barrier of the human body stronger and effectively prevents the occurrence of sub-health and diseases.

What else?

Extremely low in cholesterol

What’s more interesting is that the function of cholesterol in silkworms as herbivorous insects is performed by phytosterols, a phenomenon that makes silkworm pupae oil significantly different from other terrestrial animal oils with the high cholesterol content. Thereby silkworm pupae oil is a high-quality food or animal fat with a low cholesterol content.

No side effects with long-term supplementation

Silkworms are extremely delicate, and they are highly repellent to pesticides and various types of pollution during their growth. At the same time, silkworm pupae are invertebrates, and no zoonotic diseases such as “mad cow disease” and “bird flu” will occur when eaten.
