What and why is it part of the hematogen?
All of us from childhood remember the taste of a chocolate-like plate of hematogen. This medicine is a rare combination of undeniable health benefits and pleasant tastes.
Hematogen against anemia
Patients with anemia complain of weakness, lethargy, dizziness and fainting. Ailment, which in the days of AP. Chekhov was called "pale sick", they were successfully treated with the intake of iron-containing bioadditives. The first discoverer of the hematogen was the Swiss doctor Gommel, who in 1890 released a medicine based on bovine blood. Later, the invented drug was used to treat iron deficiency anemia in Russia. Hematogen, habitual for several generations, appeared after the October Revolution. It was thanks to this unprepossessing "chocolate" in the post-war years that children and adults compensated for malnutrition and restored health.
Components of "tasty medicine"
The composition of the hematogen includes dried defibrinated blood of cattle. As this fact provoked some rejection, on modern packages of this product the component began to be called differently - "albumin black food". In other words, it is the main protein of blood. It is necessary to maintain the volume and pressure of the plasma, and also participates in the transportation of several types of hormones. The quality of "delicacies" directly depends on the amount of albumin. This protein is contained in large volume in a dry preparation of blood of cattle.
To date, hematogen is no longer the most effective remedy for iron deficiency in the body. Nevertheless, this delicious medicine is still popular with children and adults.
