Ingredients
1. Calcium phosphate
2. Mmagnesium
3. Iron
4. Sodium phosphate
5. Etc.

Health benefits
1. Tumour cell lines with kidney and lung origin
In the study to evaluate the extract from Arca granosa L. for its ability and mechanism of tumor inhibition, showed that he extract inhibited the proliferation of six human tumour cell lines from different origins with varying sensitivity. The cell lines Ketr-3, A549 and NCl-H460 with kidney or lung origins were more sensitive to the extract than those of the HepG-2, MCF-7 and MGC-803 cells from other origins. In the three sensitive cell lines (Ketr-3, A549 and NCI-H460) the extract was shown to block different phases of the cell cycle progression and inhibit DNA synthesis in a concentration-dependent manner(1).
2. Anti-tumor activity 
In the study of Purification, characterization and in vitro anti-tumor activity of proteins from Arca subcrenata Lischke, indicated that the existence of saccharides in G-6 was demonstrated by the phenol-sulfuric acid method. G-6 and G-4-2 inhibited the proliferation of human tumor cells in vitro. By MTT assay, the IC(50) values of G-4-2 were 22.9 microg/mL, 46.1 microg/mL and 57.7 microg/mL against Hela, HL-60 and KB cell lines, respectively, and the IC(50) value of G-6 against HL-60 cell line was measured to be 123.2 microg/mL.(2)
