The actually donation took 10min. If you are a good candidate for the machine (strong veins, good bp, etc), then that takes longer. It’s when the machine separates your blood for cancer patients etc.

Don't wanna sound like an idiot, I just remember seeing something here a while back.

Plasma donation is totally different than blood donation. They actually pay you 30-50 bucks for plasma donation. You can donate 2x per week.

Plasma donation is pointless for our purposes. They dump all the stuff we're trying to get rid of back in your body.
You have to do a whole blood donation. You can do that every 56 days.
Or you can do a double red cell donation if you have type O or Rh-negative blood.
Luckily I can do the Power Red donations (double red cell) and really knock that RBC count down. You have to wait 112 days between donations. Takes about 45 minutes. They pump you full of saline too so you walk out feeling lighter from the donation and also hydrated. Win Win.

Hey guys, I am familiar with plasma donation. Back in my drinking and using days I would donate quite often for a fix.
I was merely confused about the type of blood donation to do.

Figured you were.
Tried to help you out with the type of donation. Hopefully that helps you decide. I'd recommend the red cell donation if you're eligible. It's the most valuable donation you can give.

With the 4 Horsemen Ride!
