It doesn't say why it works and also I must note that this study was funded by a grant from one of the biggest manufactures of the extract. They have been using it for around 50 years for other things. I also found a place to buy it online if anyone is interested: http://www.whynotad.com/ad/for-sale/laennec-placenta-by-japan-bio-products-php-4000tray/11390

Not sure how accurate that resource is or reliable but I think it can be found. I'm surprised this stuff hasn't hit the upscale US cosmetics world yet as it looks be huge in anti-aging and "anti-fatigue" in Japan and Korea.

My friend here in Australia swears by the placenta cream he uses on his face to keep his skin nice. (I grossed out when I heard he was using face cream made out of that esp when I often kiss his cheek).

Its an extract and widely used in the region. The complete article details how they get the extract and its actually used as a medication for other ailments. I would think of it more like a fecal transplant or stem cell therapy. Again, I don't think the abstract clearly explains the process and the science behind it and if anyone is interested PM me as I have a hard copy.

I'll be PMing you as I'm interested in if I could make it from a placenta. My sister is currently trying to get pregnant again and I'm sure she wouldn't mind giving me her placenta if I could put it to a good use. Thou as she does have ME/CFS herself (caught it from me, drank out of my glass), I wonder if that could cause it not to work so well.

(You wouldn't get me eating one of those things but I'm game to inject it if I knew exactly how to make the extract and what to do).

FYI my browser tags this link as a potential phishing site. Sometimes those warnings are wrong, posting just in case.
It could be the case. I'm not sure how reliable that website is. I think calling some pharmacies in Japan and Korea would be the way to really find it. Or if you knew someone on the ground
