2. Product Sources
Mink Powder: Our mink powder is sourced from mink farms that adhere to strict ethical and sustainable practices. The mink are raised in a controlled environment, ensuring their health and well-being. After a natural life cycle, the fur and other by-products are carefully processed to obtain the mink powder. This powder is rich in proteins, amino acids, and essential fatty acids, derived from the mink's diet and biological makeup.
Leech Extract: The leech extract comes from carefully selected medical leech species. These leeches are bred and harvested in a regulated facility, following international standards. They are a natural source of bioactive peptides, enzymes, and anticoagulants, which play crucial roles in their survival and now offer potential therapeutic applications.
3. Product Descriptions
Mink Powder: It presents as a fine, off-white powder with a mild, characteristic odor. The powder is highly soluble in certain solvents, making it suitable for various formulations. Its rich nutritional profile gives it a soft, silky texture and makes it a sought-after ingredient in high-quality products.
Leech Extract: Typically, it is a dark-colored liquid or a concentrated paste, depending on the extraction process. It has a distinct, earthy smell that can be masked during further processing. The extract contains a complex mixture of bioactive substances, which give it unique properties for medical and cosmetic applications.
4. Benefits for Physical Health
Mink Powder:
Skin Nourishment: The proteins and amino acids in mink powder are beneficial for skin health. They can enhance collagen production, promoting skin elasticity and firmness. This helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, giving the skin a youthful glow.
Hair Strength: When incorporated into hair care products, it can nourish the hair follicles, strengthening the hair shaft. This results in reduced hair breakage and improved hair texture, making it look shinier and more voluminous.
Nutritional Support: As a dietary supplement, it provides a concentrated source of essential nutrients. This can be beneficial for individuals with specific dietary needs, such as athletes recovering from intense workouts or the elderly who may have reduced nutrient absorption.
Leech Extract:
Blood Circulation Improvement: The bioactive peptides and enzymes in leech extract have anticoagulant properties. When applied topically or used in a controlled medical setting, they can help improve blood flow, especially in cases of venous congestion or poor circulation. This can aid in the healing of ulcers, reduce swelling, and relieve pain associated with circulatory disorders.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: It has shown potential in reducing inflammation in the body. This makes it useful in treating conditions like arthritis or skin inflammations. By modulating the immune response, it can provide relief and promote faster healing.
Wound Healing: In some medical applications, leech extract can accelerate the wound healing process. The substances it contains can stimulate cell proliferation and tissue regeneration, helping to close wounds more quickly and reduce the risk of infection.
5. Consumption Methods
Mink Powder:
Cosmetic Use: In creams, lotions, and serums, it is typically blended at a concentration of 1% - 5% depending on the product's intended effect. Apply these products topically to the face, body, or hair as part of your daily beauty routine.
Dietary Supplement: If taken orally, it is usually encapsulated. Follow the recommended dosage on the product label, generally starting with a small amount and gradually increasing if well-tolerated. Take with meals to aid absorption.
Leech Extract:
Topical Application: For skin conditions or to improve local blood circulation, apply a thin layer of the extract to the affected area. This can be done 2 - 3 times a day, following the guidance of a healthcare professional. In some cases, it may be combined with other therapeutic agents.
Medical Procedures: In hirudotherapy, leech extract may be administered under the supervision of trained medical staff. This involves carefully placing live leeches on the patient's body at specific points to release their saliva, which contains the beneficial substances. After the procedure, the leeches are removed, and the area is monitored.
6. Precautions
Mink Powder:
Allergic Reactions: Although rare, some individuals may be allergic to mink products. Before using mink powder-containing cosmetics or supplements, perform a patch test on a small area of skin. If you experience itching, redness, or swelling, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor.
Quality and Source: Ensure that the mink powder is sourced from reliable and ethical suppliers. Poor-quality or contaminated powder can pose health risks. Look for products with proper certifications and traceability.
Leech Extract:
Bleeding Risk: Due to its anticoagulant properties, excessive use of leech extract, especially when combined with other blood-thinning medications, can increase the risk of bleeding. Inform your healthcare provider if you are taking any such medications before using leech extract.
Infection Risk: When using live leeches in hirudotherapy, there is a small risk of infection. The medical facility should follow strict sterilization procedures to minimize this risk. If you notice any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge at the application site, seek medical attention promptly.
