On October 21, actress Mandy Moore announced the birth of her son Oscar, the fruit of her love with Taylor Goldsmith. This is their second child after the birth of their eldest son August on February 23, 2021. A new baby that fills the star of the series with joy This is Us. She had also shared an adorable snapshot of her little piece of cabbage on her Instagram account, in story, enough to melt her subscribers.
On the other hand, what was for once less expected, it is a photo of a “pill bottle filled with a label that reads: “Made by you for you, filled with…your placenta and lots of love“, reports the magazine People. Which therefore means, as this message indicates, that young mother consumes encapsulated pills from her placenta. This consumption would bring several benefits, including the rebalancing of iron and hormone levels, the reduction of postpartum depression and the improvement of milk production. A practice that may seem surprising but which, in reality, is much more widespread than it seems…
I ate some of my son
Indeed, celebrities like Kim Kardashian have already used it. “I freeze it and then swallow it in capsule form, it’s not like I fry it like a steak to eat it – although some people do.”, she said on her blog after the birth of Saint, born of her union with rapper Kanye West. Its goal is to boost your metabolism and weight loss. Holly Madison and Christina Anstead have also previously consumed their placenta in capsule form, while Hillary Duff has incorporated it into her smoothies. Even more surprisingly, JoeyStarr has already eaten it too. “I tasted the placenta, I ate some of my son“, he had declared on the set of C to Yous.
But this practice, although it has become widely popular in recent years, remains however discouraged by a certain number of specialists, whether it is the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC) or doctor Sara Swift who had affirmed for the People magazine that there is “no scientific evidence proving that placentophagy (eat her placenta) is beneficial”whether through increased breastmilk production or energy gain, and that it might even”have the opposite effect”.
