I heard it's really beneficial to take your own placenta pills? What's so good about it?

It is pretty crazy, the majority introduced to the idea consider it a type of cannibalism, but overall people really do get it turned into pills or eat it because of the awesome benefits it provides. Not for everyone but it is an option.

Its where u take your placenta to be grounded up into a form of a pill that u can take. This idea originated from places like Africa because people were so poor and didn't eat enough that women would eat their own placentas because it would increase their milk supply and bring baby the vitamins and minerals needed during breastfeeding, plus decreased the risks of sickness And infections. Its highly beneficial and u can either get it encapsulated or u can just take it home, season, cook and eat it if u please.

I believe it's supposed to give you back a lot of the vitamins and minerals that you lose during child birth and throughout the pregnancy and it's supposed to help prevent post partum depression.
