The use of placenta is not allowed in our country, and no formal medical institutions provide relevant treatment.
Generally, the main ingredients contained in placenta include proteins, nucleic acids, phospholipids, polysaccharides, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, etc.
Recently, Chengdu Airport intercepted 2 boxes of Japanese human placenta injections, totaling 100, from the suitcase of a Korean passenger. This news once again aroused people's imagination about placenta.
It is understood that human placenta is a biological product of human placenta. It may carry pathogens such as hepatitis, syphilis, and HIV. It has the risk of endangering public health and affecting public health and safety. It is strictly regulated by our country. Special items are not allowed to enter without permission. For illegally imported special items such as microorganisms, human organs and tissues, biological products, blood and their products, the inspection and quarantine departments will intercept them in accordance with the law and return them or destroy them.
Placenta can beautify and even extend life, but this has long been proven to be a scam. However, today, when information dissemination is so convenient, there are still many people who firmly believe in this.
After searching through various formal medical journals, there are almost none that regard placenta as a medical item. Only a few countries such as Switzerland, Japan and my country have put it into production. But his most popular place is China.
Why does this happen?
First of all, placenta supplementation has a profound "cultural" foundation. The concept of placenta being used as medicine has persisted in our country for a long time. For a long time, placenta has been treated as a regular medicine. Regardless of the national "Pharmacopoeia" published after the founding of the People's Republic of China or ancient medical books in the past, placenta is named "Ziheche" and is regarded as a regular medicine with clear functions of nourishing qi, nourishing blood, warming the kidneys, and replenishing essence. effect. After 2015, due to some safety concerns, Ziheche was deleted from the Pharmacopoeia, but placenta tablets, Ziheche capsules and other drugs derived from human placenta are still recognized as medicines.
Second, there is superstition about magic medicine. In the list of foods and medicines that Chinese people take indiscriminately, compared with alkaline water, chicken blood, etc., placenta is not out of the ordinary. Like other scams popular in the world, placenta also has some concepts that can hit the "pain points" of human nature. As a result, it transformed into an omnipotent health medicine.
Thirdly, there is indeed no clear harm in using placenta. Although in recent years, the possibility of harm to the placenta has been theoretically found, such as the spread of viruses, excessive heavy metals, etc., there are no particularly clear examples. Therefore, it is not easy to change certain concepts formed by people.
Finally, the popularity of placenta in our country is largely related to a rumor. In the 1930s, Swiss doctor Paul Niehans developed live cell therapy using placenta, which was interpreted as a miraculous discovery that could delay cell aging. However, in the face of such unfounded claims, no authoritative organization came out to correct them immediately. As a result, the rumors took root and confused the minds of the Chinese people.
In fact, the use of placenta is not allowed in our country, and no formal medical institutions provide relevant treatment. However, various beauty institutions still regard it as their golden signature.
Over the years, various health-care miracle medicines have been launched one after another, from making money, setting up "archways" to the collapse of the image, staged one absurd drama after another. Behind the scenes is the growing health needs of the Chinese people. There is a huge tension between modern scientific medical concepts.
