For context, when you see the word deer placenta or deer placenta capsules being thrown about, this usually refers to deer placenta extracts used in the health or beauty industry. Like sheep placenta, it is believed that many deer placenta benefits go beyond its cultural significance.
The deer placenta is the placenta of the deer that is extracted and consumed. The consumption of deer or sheep placenta is part of a phenomenon called placentophagy or placentophagia. While placentophagia is a common biological activity for certain animals, such as rabbits and rodents, human placentophagia is deeply rooted in traditional Asian culture. Research on deer placenta is not as much as sheep placenta, but there are mainly two reasons it is gaining more attention;
All parts of the deer have been used in China for thousands of years as a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is mainly linked to one of the oldest medical texts in China, Bencao Gangmu, or the “Great Pharmacopeia,” written by Li Shijen. In the text, Li Shijen lists over 1,000 prescriptions featuring animals (sometimes humans) and plants [1]. Traditionally, like sheep placenta is prepared, deer placenta is dried and then powdered for consumption. Deer placenta is prescribed for men and women for various reasons, normally in tonic form. Its prominence in history has prompted modern scientists, especially around Asia, to research more on its possible benefits.
Regarding bioavailability, deers are one of the mammals highly compatible with humans. That is why other parts of the deer are also used as a supplement ingredient, such as its liver, heart, and in recent years, antlers. Its high bioavailability is believed to be why you can see the result of taking deer placenta consistently as early as two months.
As an organ that provides nutrients to the fetus, the deer placenta contains growth factors, amino acids, nucleic acids, multivitamins, hyaluronic acids, and other antioxidants. Based on the nutrients present and its long usage history, deer placenta is often used as;
There is a certain flexibility to taking deer placenta as a fertility supplement. Because of its different nutrients, it may support both male and female fertility. A key factor in this belief is that the deer placenta contains growth factors.
A 2022 research [2] mentions that growth factors play a significant part in female reproductive systems by;
In 2021, research was conducted on female Wistar rats to study the increase in testosterone levels when the rats were fed with deer placenta supplements [3]. Another research was done a year earlier, in 2020, with male Wistar rats instead [4].
Across the span of 21 days and 28 days, respectively, it was found that deer placenta did increase the testosterone levels of both test subjects. Naturally produced testosterone may help with male fertility as it can increase vitality and libido in men.
Of course, as with other dietary supplements in the market, deer placenta is not to be treated as treatments or medications, and their results may vary based on;
Deer placenta is rich in nutrients, and its high bioavailability makes it possible to be absorbed by your cells. Basic biology tells us that everything is made up of cells, so healthy and fully functioning cells are important for your health. The unique nutritional combinations available in deer placenta, especially the growth factors, allow deer placenta to protect, repair, and regenerate the cells. There are two possibilities of how deer placenta can achieve this – the high bioavailability that allows it to penetrate most cells and the fact that most nutrients are antioxidants. A key ability of antioxidants is to prevent oxidative stress that may harm the cells. Some antioxidants and nutrients present in the deer placenta are;
Another purported use of the deer placenta is for beauty. The deer placenta is said to have an anti-aging effect on the body. The best basis for this is the presence of growth factors, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, vitamin B, and vitamin E.
In the body, growth factors are naturally produced. It is capable of wound regeneration, collagen growth, blood vessel growth, and wound healing. Introducing external growth factors in the body may help rejuvenate the body and reduce fine wrinkles. This is especially true if you’re using it beginning in your late twenties since your body’s ability to produce collagen lessens [5].
Hyaluronic acid has gained prominence recently as a major ingredient for skin moisturizing, skin elasticity, and general anti-aging. Less known is that a combination of hyaluronic acid and amino acids gives a more potent effect in terms of skin anti-aging. In research done in 2020 [6], it was found that the combination of these two ingredients can increase fibroblast activity. Fibroblasts play an important role in skin repair and wound healing, so in addition to hyaluronic acid’s common benefit, this combination can help with skin inflammation and wounds [7].
Since their first discovery, vitamins B and E have been a subject of interest for medicinal research. While vitamin B used to be studied extensively in general health, recent decades have explored the prevalence of vitamin B benefits for beauty. Different B vitamins can contribute to different aspects of beauty, such as;
So far, for commercial use, deer placentas can be found as oral supplements. Compared to sheep placenta, which is sometimes used as dermal fillers, further research is needed if we want to use deer placentas as treatment options. In the market, deer placenta supplements are gaining traction and can normally be found in pill form.
Recently, a direct sales company came under fire because of their deer placenta products, with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) banning the product sale across the states. To clear up misunderstandings about deer placenta, it is important to focus on why the product may be problematic rather than solely looking at its ingredients.
Deer placenta should be considered a dietary supplement, not a miracle drug or alternative treatment. The efficacy of any deer placenta supplement is also not the same from one person to another.
While deer placenta dosage is not as highly regulated due to its status as a dietary supplement, one of the main concerns arising during the incident is when their marketers do not properly regulate the intake dosage. While the dosage per capsule may vary, many industry players agree that the daily intake for deer placenta should not exceed 10,000mg. You should be wary of any products that exceed this daily recommended intake since it can lead to an overdose. Should you have any doubts, we always recommend you ask your general practitioner or pharmacist for clarification. We advise you to always get a second opinion when encountering misleading or confusing information about deer placenta supplements.
