🌿 Natural Support for Menopausal Health using Porcine Placental Extract

Menopause can be a transformative chapter in a woman’s life—but also one that comes with unwanted changes such as weight gain, fatigue, mood shifts, and increased cardiovascular risks. These changes are largely due to the body’s natural decline in estrogen and other reproductive hormones [1].

While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is available, it’s not suitable or desirable for everyone due to concerns about long-term risks such as breast cancer and thromboembolic events [2]. Natural supplements have emerged as a way to get through this difficult period without experiencing many of the negative side-effects related to hormonal changes and more.

As interest grows in holistic, non-hormonal alternatives, such as porcine placental extract (PPE)—the key ingredient in Vitamin Placenta—is gaining attention for its potential to support metabolic health, weight balance, and overall vitality during and after menopause. Taken by many celebrities to make it through menopause, this article is designed to help you make it through menopause without the suffering, hot and cold flashes, irritability, anxiety, and pain!

🌸 What Is Vitamin Placenta?

Vitamin Placenta is the first and only placental supplement made in the United States in a GMP-certified and ISO 17025-certified facility, setting a new gold standard for safety, purity, and efficacy. Derived from high-quality porcine placenta, it delivers a unique profile of bioactive peptides, amino acids, enzymes, growth factors, and micronutrients that nourish the body from within.

Unlike conventional menopause treatments that rely on synthetic hormones, Vitamin Placenta offers a natural, hormone-free alternative to support the body's own systems.

🔬 New Study Highlights Metabolic Benefits of Porcine Placenta

A 2025 study published in Nutrients investigated the effects of PPE on weight, lipid metabolism, and organ health in a rat model of menopause (via ovariectomy) [3]. In the study:

• Female rats without ovaries (mimicking menopause) received PPE injections for two weeks.

• Their body weight, fat deposits, and blood lipid levels were compared to a control group. 

  • Placenta helped reduce weight gain associated with traditional menopause symptoms!
    
    

• Tissue samples were taken to check for safety across vital organs like the uterus, liver, and kidneys.

Key Results:

1. Reduced Weight Gain:
   Rats receiving PPE had significantly lower weight gain compared to untreated rats, despite similar food intake [3].

2. Lower Cholesterol and Triglycerides:
   PPE-treated rats had better lipid profiles, with reduced total cholesterol and triglycerides—key markers for heart health [3].

3. No Organ Toxicity:
   Histological analysis showed no damage to reproductive, liver, or kidney tissues, supporting the extract’s safety [3].

🧬 How Does Porcine Placental Extract Work?

Placental extracts have long been recognized in traditional medicine (including Traditional Chinese Medicine and Kampo) for their regenerative and revitalizing properties [4][5]. Modern science now confirms that placenta is rich in compounds with biological activity, including:

• Growth factors (e.g., IGF-1, TGF-β) that may help regulate metabolism and cellular repair [6].

• Peptides and amino acids that support energy production, collagen synthesis, and immune balance [7].

• Antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which increase after menopause [8].

Together, these components help support fat metabolism, lipid balance, and cellular energy, potentially addressing several concerns associated with menopause—naturally and holistically.

🩺 Why Choose Vitamin Placenta Over Hormone Therapy?

🌿 The Holistic Benefits of Vitamin Placenta

Here’s how Vitamin Placenta may help support women navigating perimenopause and postmenopause:

✔ Supports Metabolism and Weight Balance

With the decline of estrogen, many women experience increased visceral fat and slowed metabolism. PPE may help boost fat breakdown (lipolysis) and support lean body mass [3][6].

✔ Improves Lipid Profiles

Cardiovascular risk increases after menopause. PPE has been shown to help lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, contributing to better heart health [3].

✔ Non-Hormonal Support

Vitamin Placenta offers a non-estrogenic path to wellness, ideal for women who cannot or prefer not to take hormones.

✔ Cellular Renewal and Energy

Placental peptides and enzymes are believed to enhance mitochondrial function and collagen regeneration, supporting skin, hair, and energy levels [6][7].

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is Vitamin Placenta a hormone product?

No. Vitamin Placenta does not contain estrogen or progesterone. It’s a natural supplement derived from porcine placenta, focused on nourishing the body without altering hormonal pathways.

2. Can Vitamin Placenta help with weight gain after menopause?

Yes. Studies suggest porcine placental extract reduces fat accumulation and improves lipid metabolism, helping the body better manage weight after estrogen decline [3][6].

3. Is it safe for long-term use?

Animal studies report no harm to vital organs, and Vitamin Placenta is manufactured in a GMP and ISO 17025 certified facility to ensure quality and safety [3]. Still, long-term human studies are needed.

4. Is Vitamin Placenta vegan or vegetarian?

No. As it contains porcine-derived ingredients, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets.

5. Who should avoid placental supplements?

Women who are pregnant, nursing, or have autoimmune or hormone-sensitive conditions should consult their healthcare provider before using any placental supplement.

📈 The Future of Placental Therapy

Modern research continues to unlock the potential of placental compounds for immunomodulation, skin health, liver support, anti-aging, and cognitive function [9][10][11]. Vitamin Placenta’s cutting-edge formulation represents the next evolution in natural women's health, bridging the wisdom of nature with the rigor of science.

✅ Conclusion

Vitamin Placenta is more than a supplement—it’s a breakthrough in holistic menopause support. Backed by science and crafted with care, it offers a safe, natural, and effective way to support metabolic health, lipid balance, and overall vitality in a post-menopausal world.

If you’re looking for a non-hormonal, all-in-one support system for graceful aging and inner wellness, Vitamin Placenta may be the solution you’ve been searching for.
