Can women eat donkey-hide gelatin during menstruation?

When women have their period, their bodies are relatively weak, so we need to eat some food to supplement our body. However, not all foods can be eaten. Women lose more blood during menstruation, so they should eat more blood-replenishing and qi-invigorating foods. Donkey-hide gelatin is a very good blood-replenishing medicine. So, can you really eat donkey-hide gelatin during menstruation? Let us answer this question for you below.

Donkey-hide gelatin is a holy medicine for replenishing blood and stopping bleeding. It has a very good restorative and regulating effect on women who need symptomatic treatment for menstrual disorders caused by blood deficiency. Eating donkey-hide gelatin can promote the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood (the effect is better than iron supplements). Since the main effect of donkey-hide gelatin is to replenish blood, it is suitable for people with blood deficiency. Therefore, it is most suitable for women with withered complexion and bloodless nails and lips when they are suffering from blood deficiency.

Many women believe that they should eat something warm during menstruation, such as red dates and donkey-hide gelatin to replenish blood. In fact, this is a very general and wrong view.

Experts point out that although donkey-hide gelatin has a very good blood-replenishing effect, taking it during menstruation will cause fluctuations in menstruation, such as reduced menstrual volume and incomplete menstruation. Normal unmarried women who took donkey-hide gelatin for the first time during their non-menstrual period experienced delayed menstruation.

The reason why you can't eat donkey-hide gelatin during menstruation: Because donkey-hide gelatin not only has the effect of nourishing blood but also has the effect of stopping bleeding, so women should not eat donkey-hide gelatin in the early stages of menstruation.
