PLACENTA anyone?

Today I've pampered my car the most since many many years, I gave her a thorough bath + vacumm early in the morning by myself, both interior and exterior, went for engine oil change, oil filter as well as spark plug. :) Cost me, but yet its worthwhile! Feel bad for treating her so badly all these while....

After all the pampering was done, I went to check the price of Procenta in the nearby pharmacy. It was introduce to me in SASA weeks back when I window shopping. I was thinking to get a beauty supplement as I'm well over 25, (where my metabolisme heading downwards). The promoter recommended it as the best supplement they have on shelf there. Oh well... it was RM188 for 10 bottles currently with current promo of 2 extra collagen drink on pack. It was the cheapest price for placenta you could get. For collagen supplements you can get it at a cheaper price of course.

When I was checking it out in the pharmacy today, the shopkeeper inroduce me to a collagen drink instead as procenta was not sold there. It was priced at RM71 for 6 bottles of collagen+royal jelly. NH colla-plus they call it. The shopkeeper advice me not to consume placenta concerntrade since I am still young, she emphasize that consuming placenta is different from collagen in the sense that once you consume it, you must continue else..... the effect might be worsen. I was pondering, was she advicing that because she don't have it in store? Oh well but she did agree that placenta concerntrade have better results that collagen. ^_^ After that I was determined to google more about placenta and its benefits. Well thiking of the extraction process is a bit disgusting though.... and .... I forgot to mention, I bought the NH colla-plus to try out.....

After googling about placenta and all...., I couldn't resist a blog posting.... why?

Here is why....
-----> I've found out that humans are actually eating their own placenta (after giving birth to own children) Could you imagine??

Well, I never thought of that until I read about it awhile ago... well maybe I'm just out-dated.

Interested to see how your own placenta looks like?? (if you had one?)

Could you imagine yourself eating these??? Gross!! yet... its nutrition value are exceptional....

Here are some simple steps on how to prepare and keep your placenta for long term consumption as shared in one of the forums!

1. Rinsing it off good

2. Let the surface blood to drip off

3. Steaming it for 15 min on each side (till it doesn't drip blood when you cut it)

4. Slicing it in 1/8 " strips

5. Dehydrate it till so dry that it snaps when broken

6. Grinding it in the coffee grinder, and putting it into vegicaps

7. Enjoy it with champagne/red wine

Remember: It must be prepared fresh~ so get your hands down dirty to prepare it once you are discharge from the hospital k?
