i m interested...
i heard from some mummies that they actually gave it to their kid when they are sick and it does helps. So i guess its good for everyone but mummies main concern here is the babies i think.What do you mean? The capsules are for the mummy's consumption right? How does it affect the baby?
Thats what i know about placenta too but its also the nutrients supplier to the baby when inside the tummy so thats y i think they say the amount of good the placenta can do varies and they sure cant do wonders.Hi kate,
I saw ur post in singaporemotherhood too.
I'm keen to eat my own powdered placenta too, but Mrs Wong from my antenatal class at TMC advised us not to, coz she said placenta functions similarly like a liver, where it passes out toxins from baby to mum (something lidat lah). So she mention its not very 'clean' to eat it.
Now I'm also confused after hearing what she said, coz b4 I attend her lessons, I was pretty adamant abt eating mine, after hearing all the wonders it does to mummy.
hmm..but as far as i know, placenta is like any other meat product. It wont be too good if you keep in freezer for too long. The nutrients will decrease as time goes by and that is why i think the capsulated form is more welcome as its already dried thus enables it for long term storage retaining its nutrients. Furthermore its also much easier whenever you wana consume it, dun need to cook, just pop 1-2 capsule or mix it with milk (heard from mummies) too.i read some mummies will packet the placenta into the freezer and when wanna eat, cut a portion and bbq it.
