Each 100 grams of pig blood contains about 8.7 mg of iron, which is close to 50% of the recommended daily intake (according to the "Chinese Food Composition Table"). At the same time, its protein content reaches 12-14g/100g, which can promote hemoglobin synthesis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pig blood is "salty in taste and mild in nature" and is suitable for people with weak Qi and blood, but it needs to be paired with vitamin C ingredients (such as green peppers) to enhance iron absorption.

Detoxification and immune modulation function

in pig bloodplasma proteinsAfter digestion and decomposition, it may absorb heavy metals and harmful substances in the intestines and be excreted from the body through metabolism. Animal experiments show (source: "Journal of Nutrition") that pig blood protein has significant binding ability to lead ions. In addition, the zinc and selenium contained in it are involved in the synthesis of immune cells, and eating it in moderation may help enhance resistance. However, it should be noted that the detoxification effect lacks large-scale clinical verification and cannot replace medical treatment.

Food Suggestions and Precautions
