Is eating donkey whips really effective

The actual effect of eating donkey whips on improving sexual function lacks scientific basis, and its effects may be exaggerated by folklore. The main components of donkey whip include protein, amino acids, and a small amount of androgens, but its bioavailability is limited after absorption through the digestive tract.

Traditional medicine believes that donkey whips have the effect of warming and tonifying kidney yang, and are often used to improve problems such as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees caused by kidney deficiency, and decreased sexual function. Modern nutritional analysis shows that donkey whips contain substances such as collagen and zinc, which theoretically help maintain reproductive system health. However, the activity of hormone components in food is significantly reduced after high-temperature cooking and digestive enzyme action, and the actual amount entering the bloodstream is negligible. Temporary decline in sexual function caused by mild fatigue may have a psychological suggestion effect.

We need to be vigilant against counterfeit products that illegally add ingredients such as sildenafil by some merchants, as such products may cause adverse reactions such as palpitations and headaches. Eating donkey whips for patients with organic erectile dysfunction is not only ineffective, but may also delay standardized treatment. Patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension need to be more cautious to avoid aggravating basic diseases by improper feeding. Maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise are the scientific ways to improve sexual function. Moderate intake of zinc rich foods such as oysters and nuts, combined with exercises such as squats and swimming to enhance pelvic floor muscles, is more effective than consuming animal reproductive organs alone. When persistent functional impairment occurs, timely medical attention should be sought, hormone level testing should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor, or formal treatment such as phosphodiesterase inhibitors should be used. To avoid blindly believing in folk remedies, scientific understanding and standardized diagnosis and treatment are necessary to fundamentally solve the problem.
