I don't think it's a good idea to ingest a human placenta, even in dried, powdered, encapsulated form. If the ladies here would stop a minute and think of what this means, they might realize we are considering cannabalism here! What other body parts do we ingest, even if we aren't using them anymore? Fingernails? Hair? Tonsils? I don't think it's wise to consider the ancient practices of the atheistic Chinese civilization as inherently good. I'm pretty sure the Chinese also eat dog, as well as the human fetus... probably believing it will give them youth or something. I usually find your podcasts interesting, but this one repulses me!

If the placenta was frozen soon after the birth, within the first 24 hours, and has remained frozen the entire time, you can certainly still use it. Four weeks is not too long at all, and I highly encourage you to make use of it! You will still get the benefits of increased energy and milk production. Feel free to email me with any other questions! Jodi Hey Angela,

I'd never heard of this but will investigate it as a way to boost my iron levels. Questions I have though -- what's the price range usually for encapsulation, and is it possible to have a placenta dried and encapsulated if the placenta was frozen after the birth (4 weeks ago in my case)?
