Does fermented rice wine help with anemia?

Under normal circumstances, sweet rice wine (Laozao) may have a mild auxiliary effect on mild iron-deficiency anemia when consumed with iron-rich foods, but it is unlikely to help with severe anemia or non-iron-deficiency anemia. If in doubt, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional in advance. Detailed explanation is as follows:

If the anemia symptoms are mild and are due to iron deficiency, consuming Laozao together with iron-rich foods such as lean meat and spinach in daily meals may help improve anemia, as the B vitamins in Laozao can promote iron absorption.

If the anemia is severe, with significantly low hemoglobin levels, or caused by conditions such as megaloblastic anemia or aplastic anemia, the limited nutrients in Laozao cannot provide the key substances required for blood formation, and thus are unlikely to offer any significant improvement in anemia.

Consumption of Laozao should be moderate to avoid excessive alcohol intake. If anemia symptoms persist or worsen, timely medical evaluation is necessary to determine the specific type of anemia, and professional guidance should be followed for targeted treatment. Do not rely on Laozao and delay appropriate management.
