As women, we have a close friend who accompanies us every month starting from around the age of 13, and who stays with us until we are around 50 years old. During menstruation, due to the differences in everyone's physical fitness, the reactions will also be different, so diet is also very important. So can you eat donkey-hide gelatin during your period? The following editor will tell you what you should eat during your menstrual period.

1. Can I eat donkey-hide gelatin during my period?

Donkey-hide gelatin cake is a holy medicine for replenishing blood, replenishing qi and activating blood circulation. It has a very good repair and buffering effect on women who need to take medicine to treat irregular menstruation caused by deficiency of both qi and blood. Taking donkey-hide gelatin can promote the conversion of blood cells and hemoglobin concentrations in the blood (the effect is better than iron supplementation). Because the main effect of donkey-hide gelatin is to nourish blood and qi, it is suitable for people with both qi and blood deficiency. Therefore, it is most appropriate for women with pale complexion and no blood on their fingernails and lips to take it when they have both qi and blood deficiency. Many women think that they should eat some hot and humid things during menstruation, such as jujube and donkey-hide gelatin cake to replenish blood and qi. In fact, this is a very vague and incorrect idea. Experts point out that although donkey-hide gelatin cake has a very good effect in replenishing blood and qi, if consumed during menstruation, it will cause menstrual fluctuations such as reduced menstrual volume and incomplete menstruation. Normal single women who took donkey-hide gelatin cake for the first time during the non-menstrual period may experience delayed menstruation.
