    Gelatin is made of the donkey skin lentils, is considered to be "Chinese medicine" triple gem, expensive in the market. But recently CCTV exposure, according to the reporter sampling the market sales of 12 kinds of donkey-hide gelatin, only 1 kind is to use pure donkey skins, the rest or mixed with skin, dogskin, it's no use or a donkey skin. Chinese medicine experts said in an interview that doping horsehide or dog skin certainly cannot call donkey-hide gelatin, and harm is immeasurable. If the product contains horsehide ingredients, to the person's harm is bigger, because of donkey-hide gelatin is a blood tonic, and horsehide is blood.
 
    "Blood" what meaning be? One theory is used to treat the disease, which means if injury bleeding, eat donkey-hide gelatin can help the body of the blood back. If the bleeding is not much, less blood that no adverse effects to the body, the body own hematopoietic supplement; If the bleeding too much, it will help the blood transfusion. Anyway, I don't need to eat special medical, food, to "blood", also no medicines, food can accelerate the body complement the loss of blood. So eat donkey-hide gelatin is not for the treatment of the disease.
 
    Another way of saying that is used to treat anemia. There are many factors which can lead to anemia, one of the most common is iron deficiency anemia. Donkey-hide gelatin products publicity claims that the treatment of iron deficiency anemia, effect is good. If they understand the cause of iron deficiency anemia, will know that this is nonsense. Hemoglobin in red blood cells need to have the effect of carrying oxygen with iron, if lack of iron in the body, a hemoglobin function failure, will lead to anemia. So to prevent iron deficiency anaemia eat foods rich in iron, treatment of iron deficiency anaemia eat iron preparations. But almost without iron in the gelatin, neither treatment, also cannot prevent iron deficiency anemia.
 
    The main composition of donkey-hide gelatin is collagen. Collagen is a protein that need in the digestive tract is digested into amino acids, absorbed by the body into the body. So eat donkey-hide gelatin and other proteins and there is no difference, just can have added amino acids nutrition effect. And due to the lack of human body essential amino acids, collagen is not high quality protein, it might as well eat eggs, milk, meat, rich in high quality protein. Some people would say, in addition to the main components, and secondary components, how submember donkey-hide gelatin, no to "blood" miracle material? There is no animal lining were found to contain what magical substance, if any, content is extremely low, surely will not play a role in the body - a substance to play a role in the body, need to reach a certain concentration. If you really believe in animal lining contains very low content of material and also can play a role in the body, that is to eat animals directly skin good, why to eat expensive gelatin?
 
    Some might say, donkey-hide gelatin is not a simple animal skins, is after stewing, how will not occur in the process of stewing a chemical reaction, have no original material? Actually made gelatin than ordinary decoction, concentration, under the condition of the temperature just let the collagen protein hydrolysis reaction, into a short peptides and amino acids, it is impossible to appear magical chemical reactions produce magical substance. The gelatin ingredients for chemical analysis results also show that it is basically consists of the components in collagen protein and its hydrolysate, and without any special material.
 
    All mammals of the skin of the same components, the composition of donkey skin horse leather, pigskin, cowhide, dogskin, does not have particularity, eat donkey skin leather with other mammals. Especially the horse, and his close relatives, even can cross each other to produce offspring, the composition of horse and donkey skin is more close to, said to eat donkey hide gelatin could increase the, eat horse skin do great harm of donkey-hide gelatin, is absurd. Fake donkey-hide gelatin on the market will be pretend to be the most common pigskin, cowhide, pigskin, cowhide was harmless, but if the illegal manufacturer leather scraps as raw materials to boil, due to the material containing heavy metals are used in leather processing, the residual is likely to be harmful to health. In short, if eat donkey-hide gelatin, and no special nourishing, treatment effect to the body, just inferior protein of expensive additions. And if eat with leather scraps from the bay of donkey-hide gelatin, instead, there will be harm to the body, so why risk eat donkey-hide gelatin?
