“Happy pills!” 9 celebrity mums who ate their placentas
Some experts tell us the practice has no benefits at all (and may even pose a risk) but that hasn’t stopped lots of mums – including a bunch of famous ones – encapsulating their placentas and popping the resulting pills postpartum.
Or perhaps going one step further and just popping their frozen placenta chunks in the blender with some random fruit! Gulp. #TrueStory

Katherine Heigl told People Magazine she'd encapsulated her placenta - with some help from ... a rather helpful cowboy!
“This guy came, he was a total cowboy: Cowboy hat, cowboy boots … and a bag of placenta! He took it to his wife who freeze-dried it and turned it into pills and I’ve been taking them.”
