Placenta and the Vegetarian Diet

Placenta is a biological material that originates from the uterine lining during pregnancy in mammals, including humans. It contains various compounds such as placenta polypeptides and proteins, often used in cosmetics and some dietary supplements. The ingredient is harvested after birth, hence the term 'afterbirth'. It is sometimes touted for its purported health benefits, although scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited.
