ABSTRACT

Athletic nutrition is often neglected. Nutrition helps athletes perform well. Beronok (sea cucumber or holothuroidea) is the original natural product of Meranti, Indonesia. Beronok is highly valued, unlike other sea cucumbers. Beronok is only consumed daily by Meranti people, not athletes. Since protein is important for athletes, this Beronok can be used as a supplement for sports nutrition. This piece of writing used a procedure known as a literature review to complete its research. This undertaking sought to discover, evaluate, and combine research literature while considering the outcomes generated by scholars and professionals in the field. The research highlights that Beronok is nutritionally balanced to meet an athlete's dietary needs by offering a diverse range of foods consumed appropriately to achieve their nutritional objectives. Beronok is a novel product derived from processed sea cucumber intended to complement the protein necessary for optimal bodily function, especially for athletes. This product is expected to culminate in developing a novel product that can serve as a dietary supplement for athletes, catering to their unique nutritional needs and ultimately introducing a new product to the market. Furthermore, the study suggests that more research is needed on the possible benefits of sea cucumbers in sports, such as how they might improve athletes' physical abilities and stability and how they might help communities' economies.
