He said indifferently, "Not great. The donkey-hide gelatin isn't authentic, not all made from donkey skin. There's a mix of cow and pig hide, leading to greatly reduced medicinal effects."

"And the deer velvet, from penned deer, I guess? It's practically useless. Real good deer velvet is dew-licked in the jungle every morning!"
"But all this could be reluctantly overlooked. What's fatal is the blending process—the constant loss of nutrients makes the final product very low in medicinal value, almost passable as a snack."
