Can donkey-hide gelatin replenish blood?

As women in today's society pay more and more attention to their own health, many women hope to replenish their bodies with more qi and blood after busy work, so as to ensure the normal menstruation and better maintain the characteristics of women. Therefore, they often take donkey-hide gelatin in the cold winter. So can donkey-hide gelatin replenish blood? In the face of this problem, please take a look at the following content with me in the next period of time.

What does "blood tonic" mean? One theory is that it is used to treat bleeding disorders, meaning that if you are injured and bleeding, eating donkey-hide gelatin can help the body replenish the blood. In fact, if the amount of bleeding is not too much, the lost blood will not have any adverse effect on the body, and the body will produce blood to replenish it; if the amount of bleeding is too much, blood transfusion is needed to save life. In any case, there is no need to take special medicines or foods to "replenish blood", and there are no medicines or foods that can speed up the body's replenishment of lost blood. Therefore, eating donkey-hide gelatin is not helpful in treating bleeding disorders.

Another theory is that it is used to treat anemia. There are many factors that lead to anemia, the most common of which is iron deficiency anemia. Promotion of donkey-hide gelatin products claims that they are effective in treating iron deficiency anemia. If you understand the cause of iron deficiency anemia, you will know that this is nonsense. Hemoglobin in red blood cells needs to combine with iron to carry oxygen. If the body lacks iron, hemoglobin will malfunction and anemia will occur. Therefore, to prevent iron deficiency anemia, you should eat iron-rich foods, and to treat iron deficiency anemia, you should take iron preparations. However, donkey-hide gelatin contains almost no iron and can neither treat nor prevent iron deficiency anemia.

The main component of donkey-hide gelatin is collagen. Collagen is a protein that needs to be digested into various amino acids in the digestive tract before it can be absorbed into the body. Therefore, there is no difference between eating donkey-hide gelatin and eating other proteins. It just plays a nutritional role in supplementing amino acids. Moreover, since collagen lacks essential amino acids for the human body and is not high-quality protein, it is better to eat eggs, milk and meat that are rich in high-quality protein than to eat it. Some people may say that in addition to the main ingredients, there are also secondary ingredients. How do we know that there are no magical substances in the secondary ingredients of donkey-hide gelatin that can "replenish blood"? At present, no magical substances have been found in animal skins. If there are any, the content must be extremely low and will not play any role in the body - for a substance to work in the body, it needs to reach a certain concentration. If you really believe that animal skins contain very low levels of magical substances that can work in the body, then just eat the animal skins instead of eating expensive donkey hide gelatin.

The above paragraphs have answered the above questions very well. I sincerely hope that friends who have questions in this regard can read the above content carefully, so that they can become more experienced in the daily blood replenishment process. Of course, I would also like to remind everyone that although donkey-hide gelatin can add more nutrition to our body, it is also a very hot food supplement after all, so remember not to take it in excess.
