Sheep placenta extract is an active substance derived from sheep embryos.

From a physiological standpoint, it may trigger allergic reactions, which are relatively common. Many people experience symptoms such as skin itching, redness, and rashes after using sheep placenta extract; in severe cases, it could even lead to anaphylactic shock, endangering life. Moreover, sheep placenta extract may interfere with the body's normal endocrine system. Because it contains various hormonal components, once introduced into the body, it may disrupt the body's natural hormonal balance, leading to menstrual disorders and endocrine imbalances.
