The placenta is not pleasant to look at, so I can imagine pills make it more palatable. I don't think a lot of study has been done on the effects of eating placenta after birth, but it's technically a separate organ that belongs to the baby.
So no matter how you spin it, they're eating baby organs.
Doesn't actually belong to the baby, it's a hybrid organ that contains DNA and tissue that comes from both the mother and the fetus.
Pop that sucker into a blender and you don't have to worry about how it looks. Mmm Mmm placenta milkshake.
Here's a relevant link to an 2000's Finnish tv travel/cooking show Madventures and their placenta dish. I think I'd rather take it in pill form.
