Are these of any benefit? What does it do? Should it be taken as an enteral capsule?

 

Any reason not to take it besides the fact that it's an animal product?

Dessicated placenta is probably much like dessicated liver supplement.  A boat-load of iron, but what is the ingredient with the magical properties?  

 

Might be tasty fresh with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

There's animal evidence (mice, iirc) that eating the raw placenta is good for the mother.  I've not seen evidence that desiccated placenta would have the same effect.  Going across species adds another complexity.  Here's a paper; make of it what you will. 
 

Arch Womens Ment Health. 2015 Oct;18(5):673-80. doi: 10.1007/s00737-015-0538-8. Epub 2015 Jun 4.
Placentophagy: therapeutic miracle or myth?
Coyle CW, Hulse KE, Wisner KL, Driscoll KE, Clark CT.

Postpartum women are consuming their placentas encapsulated, cooked, and raw for the prevention of postpartum depression (PPD), pain relief, and other health benefits. Placentophagy is supported by health advocates who assert that the placenta retains hormones and nutrients that are beneficial to the mother. A computerized search was conducted using PubMed, Medline Ovid, and PsychINFO between January 1950 and January 2014. Keywords included placentophagy, placentophagia, maternal placentophagia, maternal placentophagy, human placentophagia, and human placentophagy. A total of 49 articles were identified. Empirical studies of human or animal consumption of human placentas were included. Editorial commentaries were excluded. Animal placentophagy studies were chosen based on their relevance to human practice. Ten articles (four human, six animal) were selected for inclusion. A minority of women in developed countries perceive placentophagy to reduce PPD risk and enhance recovery. Experimental animal research in support of pain reduction has not been applied in humans. Studies investigating placenta consumption for facilitating uterine contraction, resumption of normal cyclic estrogen cycle, and milk production are inconclusive. The health benefits and risks of placentophagy require further investigation of the retained contents of raw, cooked, and encapsulated placenta and its effects on the postpartum woman.

I read that a group of mice lived 1.7x as long when taking sheep placenta. Well, I read the headline. Haven't found the study yet.

Ok, so here's the 1.7x lifespan paper and it's cells being injected postpartum I think, so not as interesting, but taking the stuff regularly might have some effect or another.

Hi Yolf, interesting you bring this up. I recently came across stem cell extracts in an A4M publication. In there they tend to promote organic-specific cell extracts, but when I tried to find such a product online, what else is highly promoted is sheep placenta. I'm just at the beginning of my research. Trying to figure out why sheep placenta, and especially why would it work for men. It wasn't easy to find an online store. You can look up ns-mart.

Well, after taking sheep placenta for a while, I took it for a month at a time a few times, I realized I was having side effects consistent with an allergic reaction or that made other allergic reactions worse. Haven't taken them in months. I think there is some upregulation of various hormones initially, those hormones can/will affect the immune system.
