We know that every woman will have menstruation before menopause. This means that women will often suffer from dysmenorrhea and bad temper, and this situation will continue for a long time. Many women with anemia feel dizzy, weak, blurred vision, etc. every time they have their menstruation. I would like to take blood-replenishing granules during menstruation. So, is it good to eat blood-replenishing granules during menstruation? Let’s find out together.

Donkey glue blood-replenishing granules are composed of donkey-hide gelatin, astragalus, codonopsis, rehmannia root, atractylodes, angelica, etc., and have the effects of nourishing yin and blood, strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, regulating menstruation and nourishing blood. It is mainly used for symptoms such as long-term illness, physical weakness, blood deficiency and qi deficiency, blood deficiency in women, amenorrhea, and oligomenorrhea.

Blood-enriching products include two categories: one category has its main ingredients as iron-containing compounds, including ferrous sulfate and complex iron; the other category is Chinese patent medicine, including donkey glue blood-enriching granules, donkey-hide gelatin blood-enriching granules, blood-generating tablets, etc. Menstruation is the time when women suffer the most blood loss. At this time, women can replenish blood and qi, but they should pay attention to taking them in moderation and making appropriate adjustments. Moreover, donkey glue blood-replenishing granules should be taken during the non-menstrual period. If women take them during the menstrual period, it will increase the amount of bleeding and may even cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid eating raw and cold food as much as possible and keep a happy mood. If you have irregular menstruation, you can also try motherwort granules.

Pay attention to strengthening dietary conditioning: Eat more nutritious foods rich in "blood-forming raw materials", high-quality protein, essential trace elements (iron, copper, etc.), folic acid and vitamin B12, such as animal liver, kidney, blood, fish, shrimp, eggs, soy products, black fungus, black sesame, red dates, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits.

We cannot take blood-enriching medicines or eat any blood-enriching foods when we are menstruating, because during menstruation, the female endometrium sheds, which causes a lot of blood to flow out. If we choose to replenish blood at this time, it is likely to cause greater bleeding. Therefore, it is best for women not to take blood-replenishing granules during menstruation.
