Detailed explanation-1: -HOW MUCH BlOOD WIll I DONATE? Whole blood donors give 500 milliliters, about one pint.
Detailed explanation-2: -The average woman has between 8 and 9 pints. To give you an idea of how much blood that is, 8 pints is equal to 1 gallon (think of a gallon of milk).
Detailed explanation-3: -The amount of blood in a person’s body will depend on their age and size, but it is around 7–8% of an adult’s body weight. A person can lose around one pint without causing any harm to the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -When adults donate blood, health care workers take 1 pint (about half a liter), Landau said. Blood cells have a life span of about 120 days, and the body constantly makes new red blood cells in the bone marrow. But it still takes time to regenerate these cells, so you can’t donate blood every day.
