Sample Analysis in progress

This is a short note to keep you posted on our research progress.

Last week our team met with biochemists at the “Food GmbH” to determine how the analysis of placenta samples is progressing. The tests on trace elements have been completed and preliminary results are available.

The photo above illustrates the preparation for the Yeast-Estrogen-Assay (YES-Assay). This biotest is used to detect bioactive estrogenes and gestagenes.

A complete analysis of the data is expected by the beginning of November 2016.

    Dear Katie, thank you for your message! We´ve got all results back and working on the statistic analysis. We also got the results of the microbiological contamination of our retain samples. This will all be published in my medical thesis. Working hard to get everything done ;-)

About This Project

The human placenta contains a mixture of substances which may be useful for individual postpartum treatment. Until now, scientific research on the use of placenta remedies as a unique and cheap therapeutic treatment for women suffering from pathologies like anemia, depression or lactation difficulties, does not exist. To be able to discuss possible effects of placentophagy, the content of placental tissue has to be tested. The goal of this project is to analyze the hormones and elements from a sample size of 6 placentas to identify the bioactive molecules present.

Blast off!
