About Hematogen
Hematogen is a unique nutritional bar originating from Russia and Eastern Europe, traditionally consumed as a supplement for iron intake. Its primary ingredient, black food albumin derived from bovine blood, is a rich source of heme iron, which is highly absorbable by the body. The bar typically includes sugar, condensed milk, and other sweeteners, giving it a chewy, candy-like texture and taste. Hematogen is valued for promoting healthy blood production, improving energy levels, and combating iron deficiency anemia. However, its high sugar content makes it less suitable for those managing blood sugar levels or reducing calorie intake. While it provides essential iron and protein, moderation is key for balancing its health benefits with its caloric and sugar content. Often considered a nostalgia treat in its regions of origin, Hematogen melds nutritional purpose with a distinct cultural tradition.
