Very good for women's health. And peach gum glittering and translucent, the appearance is very high, naturally there are many beauty-loving, health-loving women flocking to it.

Does peach gum have these effects?

I think you will also wonder if the peach gum praised by the seller is so useful. The main components of peach gum are fructo-oligosaccharide, galactose, rhamnose and so on, and do not contain the so-called collagen. In fact, many science students should know that it is impossible to contain collagen in peach gum. Collagen exists only in the fur and bones of animals, but not in plants.

Then you may ask, why are women so obsessed with collagen? Many women also buy those collagen capsules to eat. What exactly is collagen? Collagen has the effect of making skin delicate and smooth and full of elasticity. It can be said that collagen is a sign of young women. But collagen is not easily absorbed by the body. And a lot of collagen produced by many small manufacturers have quality problems. So you still need to make a rational choice.

What is the effect of peach gum?

Although there is no collagen in peach gum, is peach gum useless? Can not be so completely denied, peach gum in traditional Chinese medicine that has a certain role in hemostasis and health care. However, this is far from the effect of the hype of the seller.

In fact, this phenomenon exists not only in the sales process of peach gum, but also in the hot Dendrobium candidum, Cordyceps sinensis and Ejiao in previous years.

In addition, I would like to remind you that there may be problems such as excessive pesticide residues and not enough cleanliness in the process of peach gum regrowth, so you also need to choose carefully when buying. In addition, peach gum is also a common disease of peach trees, which is called "peach gum disease".

When the gummy disease of peach trees is serious, it will reduce the yield and the quality of peaches, and when it is serious, it will cause the death of peach trees. Therefore, peach growers should pay attention to more management, do not sell some peach gum and cause the death of peach trees, this is not worth the loss.

It is understandable that all women have a love of beauty. However, the cosmetic effect of peach gum is not as exaggerated as the seller's publicity, so women who want to eat peach gum to supplement collagen still need to be cautious.

The above comes from promoting agriculture through science.
