National Health Commission: Human serum albumin is not a nutritional supplement for daily health care

2026-01-14   

On the 13th, the National Health Commission held a press conference on "Seasonal Solar Terms and Health (Minor Cold, Major Cold)", and the spokesperson of the National Health Commission, Hu Qiangqiang, introduced the relevant situation of misconceptions about the use of human serum albumin. Currently, human serum albumin is often mistaken by many as a "nutritional miracle drug" or a "magic weapon" to enhance immunity and nourish the body. Some people even believe that a shot of human serum albumin is necessary for physical weakness, pre exam preparation, postoperative recovery, and beauty anti-aging, but this perception has obvious misconceptions. Firstly, human serum albumin is a clinical prescription drug, not a nutritional supplement for daily health care. Its core use is to correct hypoalbuminemia, treat specific diseases such as ascites, kidney disease, severe burns caused by cirrhosis or cancer, and its main function is to maintain plasma colloid osmotic pressure. Although its main component is protein, its utilization rate is low and it lacks essential amino acids such as tryptophan for the human body. Its nutritional value is not as rich as ordinary foods such as eggs, beef, and milk. Secondly, human serum albumin does not have the function of directly enhancing immunity, and blind infusion cannot achieve the effect of "enhancing resistance". The human immune system mainly relies on innate and acquired immune systems to function. Thirdly, the infusion of human serum albumin is not "zero risk", and drugs may have potential risks such as allergies. The infusion should be prescribed by a physician based on the specific condition evaluation. Please strictly follow the doctor's instructions and regulations for use, and do not purchase or blindly follow the trend. (New Society)
