What's in the placenta #2

What are the amazing substances that exist in the placenta in an orally-active form? Estrogen is a hormone with anti-inflammatory properties that stimulates healing and assists in the mobilization of white blood cells to ward off infection. Estrogen has long been known to exert anti-inflammatory effects particularly in the central nervous system which affects many facets of mental function.

Estrogen is also a determining hormone to one’s mental health, and we now know that estrogen levels sustained below recommended levels cause clinical depression and a lack of mental clarity and fortitude. The immediate mental clarity and upbeat outlook that mothers keep reporting (and researchers can’t quite pin down) may be due to the boost in estrogen from the placenta.

There are also Minerals, trace elements, and vitamins, iron and selenium, the hormones oxytocin, prostaglandin, prolactin and human placental lactagon (hpl), progesterone, serotonin, corticotropin-releasing hormone, and thyroid-releasing hormone (trh), thyroxine, plus vitamin b6, stem cells and growth factors, indoleamines, and lastly, opioids/ placental opioid-enhancing factor (poef).
