The whole premise is retarded. To get the purported benefits from fetal material, you wouldn't eat it. The environment of the stomach rips open cell walls, and essentially "cooks" whateverthehell you eat in acid - like making seviche. It doesn't differentiate pig placenta from any other protein source. Besides, people eat undeveloped chicken fetuses every day, and they don't make you live forever.

Injecting stem cells is one thing, but Asians will eat damn near anything

While you are correct about proteins Sofu, the placenta pumps out lots of hormones: small durable molecules that do not need to be very abundant to have a physiological effect.  People eat hormone pills all the time and they survive the low pH of the stomach just fine.  However, I think I’ll keep my wrinkles rather than rub this on my face.

Gah!

Women use placenta on their hair. It comes in glass vials and is in every beauty supply from here to hell.

Even if my hair weren't super-thick, I still wouldn't use the shit.

*vomits*
