Health & Beauty
The health and beauty industries are racing to research the application of jellies as a sustainable source of peptides, amino acids, proteins and calcium. Speculators along with scientists are looking for the next great discovery for humankind.
Currently Researcher are investigating if jellies are going to be a source of many health benefits which include:
- weight loss (low fat protein & carbohydrates)
- heart wellbeing (low calorie source of carbohydrates and amino acids)
- high blood pressure (peptides and amino acids)
- memory health and cognition (peptides, amino acids and calcium binding proteins)
- collagen additive for cosmetics (non-synthetic amino acid source)
- aging reversal (immortal jellyfish/Turritopsis dohrnii)
The future may hold solid health and cosmetic benefits in the future and its research is in its infancy.

Medicinal products
There has been increasing pressure to find innovative uses for jellyfish as a means of controlling their populations – from utilizing jellyfish for medicinal products to developing microplastics filters from jellyfish mucus. However many of the proposed solutions do not require large amounts of jellyfish.

Bioactive compounds
Marine invertebrates represent a vast, untapped source of bioactive compounds. Cnidarians are represented by nearly 10,000 species that contain a complex mixture of venoms, collagen, and other bioactive compounds, including enzymes, oligosaccharides, fatty acids, and lipophilic molecules.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs)
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are indeed evolutionarily ancient weapons of the innate immunity of invertebrates, the first line of defence against a variety of pathogens, including protozoa, fungi, bacteria, and viruses [19]. Marine organisms live in a microbe-rich environment; therefore, a comparable, yet unexplored array of AMPs must have evolved.
