The active albumin contained in pitaya will quickly wrap up heavy metal ions when it encounters them in the human body, preventing them from being absorbed by the intestines and excreting them out of the body through the excretory system, thereby playing a detoxifying role. Moreover, this type of albumin also has a protective effect on the stomach wall.
