Introduction
In general, chicken gizzard lining (Ji Nei Jin) can be taken on an empty stomach, but the dosage should be adjusted according to individual constitution and health condition under medical supervision. When taken on an empty stomach, the dosage should be controlled and not too high at one time, as excessive dosage may cause mild stomach discomfort due to over-secretion of gastric juice. Individuals with weaker gastrointestinal function should start with a small dose when taking it on an empty stomach for the first time and observe their body's response. Only properly processed chicken gizzard lining should be used.

Generally, chicken gizzard lining (Ji Nei Jin) can be taken on an empty stomach, but the dosage should be adjusted according to individual constitution and health conditions under the guidance of a physician. Detailed explanations are as follows:

Chicken gizzard lining contains components such as gastric hormones and keratin, which can stimulate the stomach lining to secrete gastric juice and enhance gastrointestinal motility. When taken on an empty stomach, there is no food in the gastrointestinal tract to interfere, allowing these components to act more directly on the gastrointestinal mucosa, rapidly promoting digestion and alleviating symptoms such as morning bloating and poor appetite caused by excessive eating the previous day. Moreover, chicken gizzard lining is mild in nature and not strongly irritating. Taken on an empty stomach, it generally does not damage the gastrointestinal mucosa or cause significant gastrointestinal discomfort, making it suitable for individuals needing rapid improvement of digestive function.

When taking on an empty stomach, the dosage should be controlled and should not be excessive at one time, as this may cause mild stomach discomfort due to excessive secretion of gastric juice. Individuals with weaker gastrointestinal function should start with a small dose when taking it on an empty stomach for the first time and observe their body's response. Only properly processed chicken gizzard lining should be used, avoiding products with excessive impurities or that have spoiled. If you have a sensitive gastrointestinal system, it can be taken with a small amount of warm porridge to reduce direct irritation to the stomach and intestines. If persistent stomach discomfort occurs after consumption, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
