A mum of four turned her placenta into a smoothie and fed it to her husband and their three-year-old son for the health benefits.

Jay Woodall, 33, had always dreamed of re-purposing her placenta but missed her opportunity with the first two.

By the time she had her two most recent children she found a solution.

She paid Sh3, 000 for her raw placenta to be turned into smoothies, and everything leftover was dehydrated and turned into pills - costing a further Sh15, 000.

Jay has four children, Logan, 9, Demitrius, 6, River, 4 and Storm, seven months, with husband Jon, 34.

Jay said: "It's a mixed reaction, a few people think it's a bit gross - not very appetising.

"There are some people that think about it and are interested and ask questions about it, I've had some people that listen to what I say and do it themselves as well.

"People are grossed out, some people are interested.

"I don't care, everyone is entitled to their opinion and it's my body. I'm the one that looks into stuff and I make up my own mind about whatever I do. I'm up for trying things out if it's going to benefit my health and my body, or my children's bodies,” she said.

She added: “A lot of animals do it, especially mammals, we're the only ones who don't eat the after birth."
