Simplisia vs Super Hydro™: extraction separates active compounds from fibre and starch

Super Hydro™ is an extraction method developed by BBK's extract manufacturing team. It draws out the active compounds of natural materials more effectively at a lower concentration. Based on our internal testing, a Super Hydro™ extract at a 2:1 ratio delivers performance comparable to a 5:1 extract from non-standardised producers.

Patent status: The Super Hydro™ method is currently patent pending. Even so, every BBK extract has been produced with this method from the start, so each batch you receive meets a quality standard above the market average.

Research & product opportunities

Sea Cucumber (Gamat) Extract (Holothuria scabra): 3 Studies and Product Opportunities

The sandfish sea cucumber (Holothuria scabra) is a high-value marine commodity in Asia and is known as gamat in traditional medicine. We have not found human trials for H. scabra; the closest human study used Japanese sea cucumber (Stichopus japonicus). The three studies below cover species identity, one small randomized trial, and collagen quality.

Study 1 · Scientific review Supporting evidence

Global knowledge on the commercial sea cucumber Holothuria scabra.

Hamel, Eeckhaut, Conand, et al. Advances in marine biology, 2022.

Study design: Comprehensive literature review compiling data from more than 950 publications on Holothuria scabra.

Key findings
  • Covers the biology, ecology, physiology, biochemical composition, aquaculture, fisheries, processing, and trade of H. scabra.
  • H. scabra has high commercial value in Asian markets and is mainly sold in dried form (beche-de-mer).
  • This species is the only tropical sea cucumber that can currently be mass-produced in hatcheries.
  • The authors note declining wild stocks across its range due to commercial exploitation.

What it means for your product: A basic reference for species identity and ingredient background in a dossier. The wild stock and aquaculture issues are also relevant for a supply sustainability story.

Journal DOIPubMed 35777924
Study 2 · Randomized controlled trial (RCT) Strong evidence

The effect of eating sea cucumber jelly on Candida load in the oral cavity of elderly individuals in a nursing home.

Yano, Abe, Aizawa, et al. Marine drugs, 2013.

Study design: Double-blind randomized trial in a nursing home: 8 older adults ate jelly containing Stichopus japonicus sea cucumber hydrolysate for one week, and 9 ate control jelly without sea cucumber. Oral Candida counts were measured before and after.

Key findings
  • The sea cucumber hydrolysate contains a triterpene glycoside called holotoxin.
  • The minimum inhibitory concentration of holotoxin against Candida albicans was 7 µg/mL.
  • The sea cucumber jelly showed an inhibitory effect on Candida in the oral cavity.
  • The authors state that daily consumption of this jelly may reduce oral Candida counts in older adults.

What it means for your product: An example of sea cucumber in a food format (jelly) tested in humans. The species differs from H. scabra and there were very few participants, so it is only educational material.

Study 3 · Laboratory study (in vitro) Early evidence

Comparative Study of The Yield and Physicochemical Properties of Collagen from Sea Cucumber (Holothuria scabra), Obtained through Dialysis and the Ultrafiltration Membrane.

Saallah, Roslan, Julius, et al. Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2021.

Study design: Laboratory study extracting collagen from the body wall of H. scabra using the pepsin method, then comparing isolation by dialysis and by ultrafiltration membrane.

Key findings
  • Ultrafiltration gave a collagen yield of 11.39 percent, higher than dialysis at 5.15 percent.
  • The amino acid composition of both collagens was almost the same.
  • Functional groups (amide A, B, I, II, and III bands) matched commercial collagen, and the UV absorption peak indicated type I collagen.
  • The authors consider the membrane method promising for large-scale collagen production for food and pharmaceuticals.

What it means for your product: Evidence that collagen from H. scabra can be extracted and characterized as type I collagen. This is an ingredient quality study, not a study of benefits in humans.

Claims you can make

Language guide for B2B and educational materials. Claims on finished product labels and ads must be the ones approved by BPOM at registration.

OK to say

  • Contains sandfish sea cucumber extract (Holothuria scabra) with collagen as a marker.
  • Collagen from the body wall of H. scabra has been characterized as type I collagen (cite the source).
  • Gamat is known in traditional medicine in the Southeast Asian region.

Avoid

  • Speeds wound healing, or treats arthritis, fungal infections, or cancer.
  • Firms skin or removes wrinkles. There are no human clinical trials of H. scabra yet.
  • Calling the product halal or a halal collagen substitute while its halal status is not yet certified.

The only human study used Japanese sea cucumber (Stichopus japonicus) with 8 treatment participants and 9 controls, not H. scabra; the other two references are a species review and a laboratory collagen study. Sea cucumbers are deposit feeders and can contain contaminants such as microplastics and heavy metals, so request contaminant testing per batch. Consumers with seafood allergies need to be warned. The halal status of BBK sea cucumber (gamat) extract is not yet certified.

Using this research for BPOM registration

  1. Add the three journals above to the literature review or the safety and benefit supporting data in your product dossier.
  2. Attach BBK's specification and per-batch CoA as raw material quality data. The specification always ships with the order; CoA is available on request.
  3. Match your serving size to the doses used in the studies, then confirm final claims with a regulatory consultant or BPOM.

The studies above were not done with BBK products. BBK extracts are made with the Super Hydro™ method, but study results do not automatically apply to your finished product.
