Simple and delicious…you really can’t taste the placenta!

“For me personally the increase in milk and the ease of feeding has been the greatest benefit. The raw placenta smoothie was noticeably helpful – the bleeding went from heavy to light in 5-10 hours.  My mood and energy levels were also much higher than I expected.  And it didn’t taste of anything other than berries which was a complete surprise – in fact it was quite delicious!”  Kate, mum of two in London
