Popping Placenta Pill - Are you one of them?

Lately, I have been hearing different stories about placenta, being Sheep Placenta, Deer Placenta, mainly coming from animal sources. It's a new wave coming up for those we wanted to stay young (as it claimed)!

I'm not sure what's your view on this, as per my expertise in Nutritional Immunology, it may create more harm than good in the long run.

Firstly, looking at the placenta, I can't imagine myself popping something made from this!

Secondly, it's due to the animal hormone in placenta. Placenta itself is high in animal hormone, it's needed so that nutrients can be provided to the fetus before it's delivered. However, the animal hormone is needed by the baby of the animal, not we as human. Often, animal hormone is the one that easily mutate our human cells. Indeed, we need hormone in our body, but we don't need the hormone coming from other mammals! It may be effective due to the high concentration of the hormone, but it may not be safe!

Thirdly, what about the virus or bacteria infection? Company can perform the necessary check to ensure that no bacteria or viruses exist in the placenta, but not to forget the UNKNOWN viruses or bacteria? Also those are undergoing mutation?

It's important to be a wise consumer. Look at this, baby or kid doesn't require placenta or replacement hormone, yet their skin is healthy and smooth! Why? because their cells are younger, so how to make our cells young enough and yet do not relying on supplement?
