Snow Bird's Nest is the pith secretion of the prickly apple tree of the genus Appaloosa. Snow Bird's Nest can be used as an adjunctive treatment for diabetes mellitus, and Snow Bird's Nest can be used to alleviate constipation and promote defecation.

The Snow Bird's Nest is made by manually cutting through the trunk of the Appaloosa tree, punching holes to collect the pith secretion, and air-drying it. Snow Bird's Nest is as crystal clear as crystal when it is just secreted, and when it comes into contact with air oxidation, its color gradually turns yellow, forming red, black and brown snow bird's nests.

In terms of nutritional composition, Snow Bird's Nest is composed of polysaccharides and other substances. The water-insoluble macromolecular polysaccharides can adsorb a large number of water molecules to form a gel, which can neither be digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract nor produce energy. Therefore, the intestinal absorption of sugar can be slowed down to reduce the body's intake of sugar, thus lowering the body's blood glucose and controlling energy intake.
