Who can't eat placenta?

When it comes to placenta, many people don’t know what it is, but when it comes to placenta, I believe basically everyone knows it. We know that the placenta is a carrier used to provide nutrition to the fetus, so it is rich in nutrients. It is also a traditional Chinese medicine, and it is very precious. So, many people have eaten placenta, but there is a group of people who cannot eat placenta? Let’s take a look at who should not eat placenta?

1. Enhance the body's resistance. Subcutaneous injection of human placenta extract into mice can prolong their swimming time. Intramuscular injection into rats has a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on experimental gastric ulcers caused by reserpine, tension, and ligation of the lower part of the pylorus. Intraperitoneal injection of the hydrochloric acid hydrolyzate of defatted placenta into rats had a significant inhibitory effect on hepatic fat deposition caused by carbon tetrachloride and ethylthiobutyric acid. Oral administration of placenta powder to mice can reduce their tuberculosis lesions, and in test tubes it can actually promote the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Therefore, it is believed that its main function is to enhance the body's resistance.

2. Effect on blood coagulation The placenta contains urokinase inhibitors, which can inhibit the "activation" effect of urokinase on plasminogen. The decrease in fibrinolytic activity during pregnancy is related to this. It has been reported that during pregnancy, the plasminogen activator in the myometrium of the uterus

3. The ratio of activators to urokinase inhibitors is 1:3.4, while the ratio of the two in the placenta is as high as 1:1197. Human placenta contains low molecular weight coagulation factor XII (a glycoprotein), which can not only stabilize fibrin clots and promote wound healing, but also has an antihistamine effect in animal experiments. It can be used clinically to treat patients with bleeding caused by factor XII deficiency.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the placenta is warm in nature and should not be used alone by patients with yin deficiency. It is also not suitable for those with real evil, otherwise it will add fuel to the fire. Therefore, it should be processed properly and consumed scientifically under the guidance of a doctor after diagnosis.

The above introduces some questions about who should not eat placenta. Some people may be very superstitious about the nutritional value of the placenta and its function of nourishing the body, which is an extremely wrong way of thinking. After people consume placenta, the protein in it is simply broken down into ordinary amino acids, which cannot enhance the body's immunity.
