Japan commonly breeds and produces SPF pig (Specific Pathogen Free). It is often used in cosmetics, health food products and supplements as it has vital nutritional goodness such as protein, lipid, carbohydrate, various enzymes, minerals and vitamins. The good thing about pig placenta is it is more affordable compared to other animal placentas.

The nutritional goodness include protein, lipid, carbohydrate, mineral, amino acid and various enzymes. However, compared to pig placenta, horse placenta has higher concentration of amino acid.

All in all, whether it is sheep, deer, pig or horse placenta, users are most advisable to choose the placenta products that best suit their body system.
