After taking sheep placenta extract, patients may experience drowsiness as a side effect. This is because sheep placenta extract contains polypeptides that effectively improve sleep quality; however, long-term use can lead to accumulation of these polypeptides in the body, resulting in reduced energy levels and fatigue. Additionally, prolonged intake of sheep placenta extract may slow down metabolism, potentially causing an increase in body temperature.
