Pig's trotters are a nutritious delicacy that people enjoy. Traditional Chinese medicine considers pig's trotters to be neutral in nature and sweet and salty in flavor, with functions such as tonifying weakness and replenishing kidney essence. Modern nutritional research indicates that pig's trotters are rich in protein, fat, and carbohydrates, and also contain beneficial components such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, and vitamins A, D, E, and K. They are rich in collagen protein, which has a good therapeutic effect on conditions like neurasthenia (insomnia) in the elderly.

Consuming pig's trotters helps to reduce excessive excitement of the central nervous system and also improves conditions such as anxiety, neurasthenia, and insomnia. Eating pig's trotters, which are rich in glycine, also has a positive effect on regulating the functional activities of normal secondary neurons. Because the glycine in pig's trotters has a sedative effect on the central nervous system, it has also been found that for people who often experience leg cramps or numbness, or certain drug-induced spasms, regularly consuming pig's trotter soup can also have a certain therapeutic and alleviating effect.
