Holistic Way Babeskin Sheep Placenta packs the power of the placenta into one convenient capsule to support supple skin and overall well-being.

Throughout history, the placenta has been recognised for being a storehouse of nutrients. An organ that connects a foetus with the mother’s uterine wall and sustains it in the womb, the placenta has been cited in ancient Chinese folk medicine texts as a plausible treatment for liver, kidney and reproductive health issues, in addition to improving energy and vitality.

“Historically, the placenta was recognised as a traditional folk medicine in China and other parts of the world with its vast nutrients and biological active components,” explained Holistic Way nutritionist Ling Tian Hui. “In China, Li Shizen’s Compendium of Materia Medica in the 16th century documented the use of dried human placenta in treatments.”

As an organ that supports a developing foetus, the placenta is rich in amino acids, vitamins, nutrients and growth factors, among other components.

According to Ms Ling, “Growth factors are important in regulating and stimulating growth, proliferation, migration and differentiation of cells. In particular, sheep placenta contains insulin growth factor, which may help to regulate and promote the growth of muscle cells and cell proliferation.”

In research studies, the administration of placental extracts was shown to improve general health and well-being, Holistic Way added.

SUPPORTING SKIN RENEWAL

One supplement that harnesses the placenta’s benefits is Holistic Way Babeskin Sheep Placenta, a product that combines extracts that are the equivalent of 20,000 mg of fresh sheep placenta with grapeseed extract.

According to Holistic Way, the supplement may support healthy skin cells and maintain skin elasticity.

The proprietary mix of the supplement is said to provide amino acids, hyaluronic acids as well as vitamins and minerals.

“Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and amino acids have been shown to help in collagen production. Hyaluronic acids are naturally present, and help to support moisture retention, thus supporting supple skin,” Ms Ling elaborated.

Grapeseed extract has high antioxidant content. Naturally present in many fruits and vegetables, antioxidants lower the amount of free radical damage, known as oxidative stress, made to cells. Oxidative stress can be caused by environmental sources such as pollution and unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking.

Holistic Way Babeskin Sheep Placenta has struck a chord with those in pursuit of healthy-looking skin. In reviews, customers have observed an improvement in their skin condition, with varying results across individuals.

PACKED FOR CONVENIENCE

To keep up with customers’ busy schedules, Holistic Way Babeskin Sheep Placenta comes in a soft gel capsule form, for convenient consumption. Made in New Zealand, the supplement is suitable for men and women above 18 years old, but not for pregnant, lactating mothers or children.

“Individuals who are taking blood thinners should consult a physician before taking Holistic Way Babeskin Sheep Placenta, as the grapeseed extract may interfere with medication,” said Ms Ling “Those with existing medical conditions should also seek medical advice before consuming any supplements.”
