On the Internet, various tales have long circulated about the fact that some people eat the placenta - an organ in the uterus, with the help of which nutrients from the mother are transferred to the pregnant baby.
These people assure that the placenta itself contains a huge amount of nutrients and vitamins and therefore after giving birth it must be eaten, as most mammals do.
Including known stories that Tom Cruise, Kim Kardashian, Alicia Silverstone and other celebrities ate the placenta after the birth of their children. Some are dried or frozen, while others are eaten raw like animals.
But what about those who have not given birth to children, but wants to try the placenta?
For them, there are people like Melbourne midwife Ciara Noble. Ciara collects the placenta of women in labor at work (with their permission) and makes a wide variety of products from it. Including face cream, something like dried "snacks" and even adding it to smoothies (fruit drink with pulp).
Ciara's products are so popular that a midwife earns over $ 10,000 a year. And everything is official with her. Two years ago, Ciara Noble became a board certified specialist in placental care.
Ciara's private company is called Kindred Postnatal Products and it started operating in January 2017. The idea of making money on the placenta came to Ciara after she once read that the placenta is very useful.

For those who are disgusted with eating the placenta in an unprocessed form, Ciara sells it in the form of pills that you can simply swallow like regular pills.
According to Ciara, some people find all this disgusting, but in fact it is a very natural thing and nature itself intended that the placenta should be eaten.
According to Ciara, the most popular product is the placenta, processed and packaged in such a way that it looks beautiful, does not deteriorate and is ready for absorption.
Slightly less popular are smoothie mixes with placenta chunks, fruit, and coconut water. According to Ciara, taking such a smoothie will give an instant burst of energy.
Ciara also makes souvenirs from the placenta, such as prints or processed umbilical cord jewelry. She gives souvenirs just as a keepsake, without taking money for them.
According to the girl, she has no waste and all parts of the placenta go into production. Ciara herself has not yet given birth, but she is sure that when she becomes a young mother, she will also eat her placenta.
