There are a lot of interesting things that people recycle on the market, such as hair recycling, feces recycling, and even pregnant women's urine.
And generally speaking, the recycling price given is not low, with an average of 12 yuan a catty.
There are a number of dedicated collection points that also offer door-to-door collection services.
At the time of recycling, some financial or material subsidies will also be provided.
So what is the use of these recycled pregnant women's urine?
First, many enterprises are formally operated
Some people may think that this is not a good thing when they hear about the recycling of pregnant women's urine.
It is estimated that it is not a regular company that will recycle urine, but such an idea is wrong.
In fact, many companies that recycle pregnant women's urine are enterprises with formal business certificates.
They recycle the urine that the average person would sneer at, mainly because they found some lucrative business opportunities in it.
Many experts have also said that this urine is very useful, and some companies have been doing the urine recycling of pregnant women for several years.
And over time, they have found a complete recycling and monitoring system.
These companies are even able to offer different recycling prices depending on the quality of the recycled urine, mainly because the urine does have a secondary process.
To understand why the urine of these pregnant women can be reprocessed, it is necessary to understand what the composition of this urine is.
A normal person's urine will not contain much other than urea and water, unless there is a disease in this area.
However, the urine of pregnant women is rich in various substances.
This is mainly because after a pregnant woman becomes pregnant, her hormones change a lot.
The amount of various hormones such as progesterone and progesterone in the body of pregnant women will surge.
These hormones cannot stay in the human body forever, they will be excreted from the human body through metabolism, and the specific way of excretion is urine.
For companies that buy pregnant women's urine, what they need is also the various hormones in that urine.
Because these hormones are often precious, although the human body can produce them, the total amount produced is not particularly large.
Therefore, many companies that buy the urine of pregnant women, after buying the urine, will send it to a special factory to purify the urine.
Remove all the impurities and moisture inside, leaving only useful hormones.
Once these hormones have been extracted, they move on to the next stage of processing.
These processing links are not what ordinary urine recycling companies can do, but some pharmaceutical companies.
The hormones extracted from the urine of pregnant women are sent to pharmaceutical companies for secondary further processing, and then gradually become some of the drugs we see today.
There are even hormones that can also play a role in monitoring pregnancy.
For example, human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a hormone that has a lot of value at both the scientific and commercial levels.
At present, the main material of the pregnancy test sticks we see on the market is this hormone.
It is precisely because of the relatively high demand that the price of urine for pregnant women has risen a lot in the past few years.
Even the urine of pregnant women in some places can reach more than a dozen yuan a catty.
This is also because the production decreases, so the price will naturally rise.
Now Chinese are increasingly reluctant to have children, which leads to a decrease in the number of pregnant women.
The total amount of urine that large companies and pharmaceutical companies can receive from pregnant women is also reduced.
Therefore, in the foreseeable future, I am afraid that there is room for further appreciation of the price of pregnant women's urine.
Second, keep a normal mind
It has happened before that some pregnant women will drink a lot of water and produce a large amount of urine after knowing that the urine when they are pregnant will be purchased by the company.
Even storing some of your own urine to sell, but that's not right in itself.
In fact, for those companies that buy pregnant women's urine, they need urine that is of relatively good quality and has a high hormone content, rather than the usual physiological metabolites of pregnant women.
Therefore, if some pregnant women drink a lot of water just to be able to sell this urine for money, the urine produced will not sell much at all.
Because the price of urine will drop, if a pregnant woman wants to sell urine during pregnancy, the best thing to do is to contact a licensed urine recycling company nearby.
Let these urine recycling companies provide door-to-door extraction services, and these experienced and qualified companies will often come directly to the door with a complete set of tools, such as special urine buckets and detergents, etc.
There are also some companies that are more formal, and they will ask pregnant women to call them as soon as they have finished excreting, and they will send a special car to pick them up.
And these cars often have refrigeration tools to avoid adverse effects on the hormone content of urine after it has deteriorated.
Therefore, when you want to sell urine, you still have to find a special company.
In fact, one of the biggest problems with current urine recycling is that some people don't understand, and even some people have misunderstandings about this industry.
Especially some middle-aged and elderly people with a low level of education, in their traditional cognition, they only think that urine is a very filthy thing.
There are some people who come to buy urine, probably with psychopaths.
Others feel that the urine contains the DNA of the urine producer, so there is something unsafe about it when it comes to selling.
Such an idea is not advisable in itself.
In fact, if urine is used well, it can also generate value.
Even now, some pharmaceutical companies have carried out secondary processing of the recovered pregnant women's urine to produce HCG injection, which is a very effective injection in clinical practice.
After entering the human body, it can promote ovulation and help some young couples who cannot conceive to increase the chance of pregnancy.
Some HCG injections with better quality are not cheap in the market.
Therefore, even the useless urine that many people know can be turned into treasure in the hands of scientists.
3. Urine in menopausal women is also useful
In addition to the role of urine from pregnant women, urine from menopausal women is also collected by some recycling companies.
This is mainly because many menopausal women also have more hormones in their bodies than normal.
As they age, these women are experiencing rapid physical functioning.
Their ovarian function has also declined a lot compared to normal people, so they basically no longer secrete sex hormones.
However, the gonadotropins secreted by their pituitary gland are maintained at a relatively high level.
And these gonadotropins are also useful for some pharmaceutical companies.
Many recycling companies reject menopausal women's urine in order to get the high levels of gonadotropins in this urine.
The process is very similar when the recycling companies get their hands on the urine.
It is nothing more than a secondary purification of this urine, filtering out the waste products, and then extracting the hormones.
It is then resold to certain pharmaceutical companies, which are responsible for converting these hormones into various drugs that can be used by the body.
For example, the production of a special type of HCG injection, which also includes luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone.
After these two elements enter the human body, they can have an effect, that is, to promote the growth and development of the human follicle.
It can even help some people who secrete too little estrogen to secrete a large amount of hormones, which can effectively improve poor ovarian function.
Some people who have been using this HCG injection vaccine for a long time will have eggs released again even though they are infertile or have not ovulated much in the first place.
So sometimes, some menopausal women's urine will also be sold for a relatively high price.
Because these hormones that are recycled are indeed effective for young couples who can't have children.
Nowadays, there are also many pharmaceutical companies that are trying to further improve the utilization efficiency of urine for pregnant women and menopausal women.
The original more traditional extraction and production methods are less efficient.
For every 10 tons of urine, only one kilogram of urokinase can be extracted, and the number of targeted drugs that can be produced is even smaller.
But now, with the improvement of industry, the number of hormones extracted from urine has become more and more, and the number of hormones used in the production of drugs has decreased.
The result is a complete and sustainable industrial line.
There are some medical scientists who have found a new substance in their urine that can treat other diseases.
This is a specialized urokinase.
After it enters the human body, it can help humans alleviate various cardiovascular diseases, because it can effectively remove embolism.
After this urokinase enters the human body, it can help the body to produce a large number of various plasmins.
This special enzyme can degrade protein clots in the human body, and even reduce the fibrinogen molecule in the blood, thereby eliminating blood clots.
With the continuous development of medical technology, it may be possible for scientists to extract more beneficial substances from urine in the future.
I also hope that some people with traditional ideas can let go of their prejudices about urine and have a correct attitude towards those who are engaged in urine recycling.
In a way, their work is also for the benefit of the people.
epilogue
With the development of technology, many things that originally seemed to everyone to have no value at all have become useful. This is also directly related to nature's theory of circulation.
For example, in the eyes of most people, it is a good natural fertilizer for agricultural production.
Therefore, when facing new things, we should look at problems with a correct and developing attitude, and not be too conservative and traditional.
In this era of rapid development, it is difficult to seize the opportunity to maintain the traditional and conservative concept.
You know, there are some people who have lifted themselves out of poverty and become rich by recycling urine and reselling it to big pharmaceutical companies.
