Sea Cucumber on sale at Jagalchi Food Market in Busan South Korea - An example of the strange or weird food eaten by people around the world
Some varieties of sea cucumber (known as gamat in Malaysia or teripang in Indonesia) are said to have excellent healing properties.[citation needed] There are pharmaceutical companies being built based on gamat. Extracts are prepared and made into oil, cream, or cosmetics. Some products are intended to be taken internally. A single study conducted on an unreported number of mice found intraperitoneal injection of sea cucumber extract to be somewhat effective in high doses (100 mg/kg) against internal pain, but ineffective against externally induced pain.[20] Another study suggested that the sea cucumber contains all the fatty acids necessary to play a potential active role in tissue repair.[2
