Key Ingredients / Formula
- Grass-Fed Bovine Placenta (freeze-dried) — provides the core “placenta” nutrition.
- Grass-Fed Bovine Liver — included to complement the placenta nutrition.
- Gelatin — used for the capsule shell.
Features & Benefits
- Hormonal & Postpartum Support
- Supports hormonal balance — the placenta naturally contains hormone-releasing neuropeptides.
- Intended for postpartum recovery — may help with healing, mood, and energy after childbirth. ..
- Could also support menopause-related symptoms like mood swings or low energy.
- Rich Micronutrient Profile
- Contains heme iron, which is more readily absorbed.
- Trace minerals: zinc, copper.
- B-Vitamins: notably B6 (pyridoxal) and B12 (cobalamin).
- Vitamin D3 and trace minerals like selenium and calcium.
- Other biologically active compounds: stem cells, growth-factors, “molecular biodirectors” (DNA-level signaling), neuropeptides, and hormones like prolactin and oxytocin.
- Quality & Purity
- Sourced from grass-fed cattle in New Zealand & Australia, which are known for strict farming standards.
- “Ultra-pure”: no fillers, binders, or flow agents.
- Freeze-dried, not heat-processed, which helps preserve heat-sensitive nutrients.
- Third-party tested for purity.
- Free from hormones, pesticides, and GMOs (as per their quality claims).
Usage / How to Use
- Suggested Use: Take 6 capsules per day, or follow directions from a healthcare professional.
- Tolerability Tip: If you’re sensitive, start with fewer capsules (e.g., 1–2) and gradually increase.
- Splitting Doses: If taking more than 6 capsules in a day (with professional advice), split them by a few hours to help with absorption / tolerability.
Potential Risks / Side Effects & Precautions
- Detox Reactions: Around 5–10% of users (especially those with autoimmune issues) may experience a “detox reaction” (nausea, headache, lethargy, flu-like symptoms) when they start.
Source Safety: The brand highlights that New Zealand and Australian cattle have very low risk of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (like “mad cow” disease) due to strict surveillance.
Not a Replacement for Medical Care: As with any supplement, it’s not a substitute for medical treatment. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a hormonal condition, consult a healthcare provider before using.
- Capsule Size / Dose: Six capsules daily is a relatively large dose; make sure that’s manageable for you.
Mechanism of Action (How It May Work)
- “Like Supports Like” Nutrition: The concept is that consuming placenta (which is rich in growth factors, peptides, and nutrients) supports similar functions in the consumer (e.g., hormonal regulation, tissue repair).
- Stem Cells & Growth Factors: The placenta powder contains stem-cell–derived signals and growth factors which may support tissue repair and regeneration.
- Neuropeptides & Hormones: Contains neuropeptides and hormones (like prolactin and oxytocin), which could influence mood, stress response, and possibly postpartum recovery.
- Micronutrient Provision: Delivers bioavailable iron, B-vitamins, and trace minerals which are critical for blood health, energy, and metabolic processes.
