During menstruation, women tend to lose a lot of blood. If a person's menstrual flow is very heavy, she will inevitably have symptoms such as pale face and general weakness.

So, if you are in your menstrual period, can you drink some blood-replenishing granules?

Women need blood supplementation. If you want to achieve the best blood supplementation effect for women, it is recommended to choose blood-enriching Chinese medicine. However, when using blood-enriching Chinese medicine, you must distinguish the time periods. Not all time periods are suitable for using blood-enriching Chinese medicine. For example, when using blood-enriching Chinese medicine, you must stagger the menstrual period.
