Is it safe for everyone to consume chicken gizzard membrane (Ji Nei Jin)?

Generally speaking, not everyone can consume chicken gizzard (Ji Nei Jin). Medication use should follow medical advice. The specific analysis is as follows:

Chicken gizzard is not suitable for everyone. Those with weak spleen and stomach but without food retention may experience adverse effects, as its aggressive properties could damage the normal function of the spleen and stomach, worsening discomforts such as abdominal distension and diarrhea. Pregnant women should use it cautiously, as its medicinal properties may stimulate the uterus, and should use it only under a doctor's guidance. Individuals allergic to chicken gizzard may experience allergic reactions such as skin itching and difficulty breathing, and should avoid consumption. Patients with severe digestive system diseases, such as those in the active phase of gastric or duodenal ulcers, may worsen ulcer damage due to increased gastric acid secretion if they consume it without medical advice. Infants and young children have immature digestive systems; consumption may irritate their delicate gastrointestinal tract, leading to indigestion, diarrhea, etc., and should be used only under medical supervision.

Before consuming chicken gizzard, one should fully understand their physical condition to determine suitability. At the same time, it should be purchased through legitimate channels to ensure the quality of the medicinal material and avoid using inferior or spoiled chicken gizzard.
