Placenta: real anti-aging or beautiful deception

As early as 2008, the Ministry of health has banned sheep placenta from being used as common food raw materials However, "Xinhua view" reporter recently found that, as the extract of sheep placenta, sheep placenta element is often illegally added to ordinary food, and by the name of "sheep embryo element", a high-end product, it is called the myth of "anti-aging, freeze youth" Beautiful "myth" of anti-aging? The sales of sheep placenta products on the market are very popular "Reshape the youth body" and "delay the aging of the skin", and even "prolong the life" Sheep placenta products are popular in the market, with prices ranging from tens to thousands of yuan According to the insiders, most of the so-called sheep placenta products on the market refer to sheep placenta; the "freeze-dried powder of sheep placenta" contained in it is extracted from sheep placenta As early as 2008, the Ministry of health has clearly stipulated that sheep placenta contains a variety of bioactive ingredients, which can not be used as common food raw materials On Alibaba's platform, there are more than 100 products related to sheep embryo freeze-dried powder and more than 30 products related to sheep placenta element Capsules, freeze-dried powder, and even injections banned by the state are all on the list The reason why the ban five years ago failed to stop the impulse of enterprises to violate the rules is that the biggest temptation is undoubtedly the interest For example, the official customer service staff told reporters that the above-mentioned package of sheep placenta extract, or sheep placenta freeze-dried powder, contained 50mg of sheep placenta extract in a 6 yuan capsule On Alibaba's platform, the price of 1 kg of sheep placenta freeze-dried powder is about 1300 yuan, and the price of 50 mg is only 7 cents, which is a huge profit According to reports, these placental elements are still near the name of "sheep embryo element", but although there is only one word difference, they are fallacious Zhou minhao, general manager of Yangda Lianhuan pharmaceutical gene Co., Ltd., a company with a patent for extracting sheep embryo element, told reporters that sheep embryo element is an active ingredient extracted from 3-month-old sheep fetus at low temperature to increase cell proliferation It takes at least one month to extract the original solution of sheep embryo element, and only a few grams can be extracted from a sheep embryo, which is very expensive However, sheep placenta is a kind of effective ingredient extracted from sheep placenta by grinding There are many hormone components in it, and the nutritional component is far less than sheep placenta The extraction process is mainly sheep placenta grinding and drying, and the procedure is much simplified Not only that, if sheep embryo element is used, plant facilities, personnel training and quality control are carried out in full accordance with the rules, the cost is very high, and the clean ingredients also need to meet the national standards Both in Switzerland and in China, sheep placenta cosmetics are positioned in the high-end market, and the injection price in Switzerland is as high as 300000-400000 yuan In China, many suppliers are small enterprises, not only do not have the technology, but also the cleaning control in the manufacturing process may not meet the standards When does gorgeous "flicker" stop? What is sheep placenta? In many businesses' propaganda, it is a kind of polypeptide protein substance or living cell substance But the reporter used the keyword combination of "sheepplaceta" and "immunity" or "anti-aging" to search PubMed, the largest biomedical database, and found that the result was zero This also means that there is no scientific article supporting its immune or anti-aging effect However, many businesses prefer to "sanctify" some so-called scientific experiments as profit-making tools Recently, the State Food and drug administration is cracking down on the illegal production, illegal operation, illegal addition and illegal publicity of health food Experts believe that the regulatory authorities must take a step forward and resolutely punish such acts as claiming the function of food as health food and using non food raw materials At the same time, it also reminds consumers not to fall into a fraud in order to pursue the illusory "Legend of immortality".
