PORCUPINE BEZOAR
Nature has bestowed upon us with many precious treasures, and the Porcupine Bezoar is one extremely rare and valuable herb.
Porcupine belongs to a mammal species and is also known as a hedgehog or river pig. Its back and tail are covered in spines. The Porcupine feeds on herbs and hard-to-digest foods such as tree bark, corn, and oil palm fruit. After digestion, a mixture of these digested foods and the Porcupine's detoxification antibodies produces a secretion that enables rapid healing when the animal is sick or injured.

He is a registered traditional herbalist and holds a Ph.D. in Traditional Herbal Medicine and Complementary Medicine from a Malaysian university. In 2023, Dr. Ooi published a book about the Porcupine Bezoar titled "The Porcupine Bezoar Compendium," which quickly became a primary reference for many enthusiasts studying the herb.
According to the records in "The Porcupine Bezoar Compendium," there has been a folk belief that the Porcupine Bezoar can revive people suffering from terminal illnesses, making it a rare and precious herb. Porcupine is primarily consumes herbs, and the undigested herbs and secretions settle in its stomach over time, eventually forming the Porcupine Bezoar. However, not every arrow porcupine produces the Porcupine Bezoar, making it the world's rarest and most valuable medicinal substance.
The Porcupine Bezoar has been known for its significant health benefits to humans for several centuries. In recent years, there has been in-depth research on the Porcupine Bezoar, revealing its various pharmacological effects and medical value.
The Porcupine Bezoar contains beneficial active ingredients for human health, including plant sterols and plant enzymes, bromelain, tannins, myristic acid, stearic acid, and mangiferin.
Plant sterols in the Porcupine Bezoar are highly similar to cholesterol. When plant sterols are consumed, they compete with cholesterol for absorption in the body, leading to a significant reduction in the intake of cholesterol. Therefore, plant sterols can effectively protect the heart and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Bromelain is an enzyme that specifically breaks down proteins and has anticancer effects. It inhibits cancerous cells containing carcinogens and initiates autophagy processes to eliminate cancerous substances. Bromelain also has anti-inflammatory effects as inflammation can promote cancer, particularly during the processes of cellular transformation, proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. Therefore, suppressing severe inflammation can effectively prevent or alleviate cancer.
The Porcupine Bezoar contains a significant amount of tannins, which can regulate insulin signaling pathways, enhance the body's absorption of blood glucose, and effectively prevent hyperglycemia. Tannins have antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal, and immunomodulatory properties.
According to research conducted by the International Islamic University Malaysia, myristic acid is one of the main active substances in the Porcupine Bezoar. Studies have shown that myristic acid can lower blood glucose and protect the testes from oxidative stress damage. It preserves reproductive system functions and improves fertility in male diabetes patients. Additionally, myristic acid can increase prostaglandin levels, lower blood pressure, have anticancer properties, reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and protect the heart.
The Porcupine Bezoar also contains a significant amount of mangiferin, which offers various benefits to the human body, such as antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-tumor, antibacterial, antiviral, immune-regulating, and analgesic effects.
