Placenta Encapsulation Services

I have been rather undecided whether to make my placenta into pills. During the weekend, there were news (The Newpaper & Mypaper) on such services and claiming the goodness of the placenta such as "improved skin complexion- no pimples for past 2 years..face is glowing ."

Quoted from Heavenly Heath Store, placenta can help:

• balance your hormones
• enhance your milk supply
• increase your energy

Finally, i decided to Google for such service providers:
Heavenly Health Store - $300 for collection before 6pm or $400 for 24/7 collection. A subsidiary under some TCM provider, seems to be very popular with the mothers.
Four Trimesters -  $300, collection within 24 hours hence need to prepare cooler bag and ice pack to store the placenta before the collection.Their packaging seems to be the nicest and additional service of drying the baby cord.
In the Womb - $300, no collection after 8pm. Surcharge for weekends & PH
Caring Mum - $300, collection 24/7

All of them charges a surcharge for last-minute registration hence do call for the service earlier if you have decided to take a go at it. I'm going for to try and see if this is a miracle or fad!
