ErythroMer is constructed from "recycled" human hemoglobin—the protein responsible for oxygen transport within red blood cells to the body's tissues—enclosed within a membrane to resemble a miniature cell.

I recall learning that poop is brown due to a high content of dead red blood cells. They have me awfully curious what kind of “recycling” they’re doing.
