Would You Eat Your Placenta In Pill Form?
Forget mashing up the placenta into loaf form or that creepy teddy bear. You can now have the little sac that kept baby alive in the form of “placenta pills.” Thank Gawd for celebrities - otherwise I wouldn’t hear of these creepy, er, curative methods.

    Transforming the placenta in capsules for consumption after birth has
    many benefits; reducing chances of baby blues and post-natal
    depression, encourages a healthy milk supply and gives new mum a
    helpful supplement of essential fats, minerals and vitamins tailored
    for her own body. 

    This is a growing trend and rightly so, many women can benefit from placenta capsules.  In the far East business men and women take placenta supplement from other human placenta, I find that harder to stomach than consuming your own placenta after birth.
