If a person ever drinks blood, what nutrients and stuff from drinking that blood would be absorbed into their bloodstream?

A good point, but remember not to use Hollywood as evidence when determining if a man can flybinzing said:The movie,...show a character
Nutrients from drinking blood are absorbed through the digestive system, specifically the small intestine. Enzymes in the stomach break down the blood cells, releasing the nutrients into the small intestine where they are then absorbed into the bloodstream.
Blood contains a variety of essential nutrients, including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. It also contains iron and other trace elements that are important for bodily functions.
While drinking blood may provide a source of nutrients, it is not considered a safe or sustainable way to obtain them. Consuming blood can lead to the transmission of diseases and infections, and it is not a sustainable food source.
Drinking blood can have potential risks and side effects, such as the transmission of diseases and infections, as well as digestive discomfort and nausea. It is not recommended to consume blood as a source of nutrients.
Yes, there are several animals that consume blood as a source of nutrients, such as vampire bats, leeches, and some species of birds, fish, and insects. However, this is not a common dietary practice among most animals and is not recommended for humans.
