Anthocyanin can enhance vascular elasticity and protect the inner wall of arterial blood vessels; Lowering blood pressure; Improve skin smoothness and beautify skin; Inhibit inflammation and allergy, improve joint flexibility and prevent arthritis; It can promote the regeneration of rhodopsin in retinal cells and improve vision; It also has anti-radiation effect and so on.

Albumin is a viscous colloidal substance, which has detoxification effect on heavy metal poisoning. Due to the lack of attention to the treatment and recycling of industrial wastewater and waste, various water resources have been seriously polluted by heavy metals. In addition to direct drinking water poisoning, human food intake is also prone to heavy metal poisoning. When albumin meets heavy metal ions in the human body, it will automatically combine with heavy metal ions and be excreted by the excretory system, thus playing the role of detoxification. So eating pitaya rich in albumin can avoid the absorption and poisoning of heavy metal ions. Albumin also has a protective effect on the stomach wall. Moreover, the albumin in the flowers, fruits and stems of pitaya is very good and has excellent stability.
