Finally, I have some quiet time to sit and write my blog. I have this issue of requiring a wide open space to write, ideally with trees, a breeze and natural sunlight. Mornings are the best, after my little minions are sent off to school. Being unwell since Chinese New Year which makes it close to a month now, a lot of my activities have been limited. Although some people may feel that its bad, I actually find peace in my inability to speak much and keeping silent. A silent mind brings forth fresh ideas, and it helps rationale things better. Oh yeah, I am actually enjoying the voice rest, I have a good excuse not to call people or pick up the phone.

Anyway, let's talk about Célebre. Célebre is the name of a Company in Geneva that specialises solely in Cell Therapy and advanced anti-aging specialties. Its team comprises of their own medical doctors, stem cell therapy consultants, researchers, chemists, biotechies and developers to create their own line of 'stem cell' products. The team has been around for quite awhile but this line of product was only introduced in 2012.
So why are the Europeans so hyped up about cell therapy and stem cells? The idea of stem cells as a form of alternative healing for humans began as early as 1931 where Dr Paul Niehans, a swiss doctor amazed the conventional world by saving a woman with her parathyroid glands accidentally removed during thyroid surgery. He took parathyroid glands from a sheep, crushed them, diluted with saline and reinjected the concoction into the surgical area. The woman survived, without much complications. He was also said to have treated a lot of celebrities with an amazing stunt of allowing an 80 year old an to impregnate his wife for their last child. In 1954, he was called to the aid of Pope Pious XII who was dying. The poor Pope was in critical state with only glucose infusion as he cannot tolerate any food or water. For 2 months, he nursed the Pope and within a few weeks he was able to tolerate orally and his power regained. Hence why the Anti-Aging Medicine world dubbs Dr Paul Niehans as the Father of Stem Cells. Even in the older days he managed to heal and prolong life, makes you wonder what more can he do with today's technology? Regardless, such extreme treatments received a lot of criticism from the medical world and professionals especially with the cost of treatments which are somewhat excessive.
I am a believer of stem cell therapies, but I am very skeptic as many parties try to take an idea, try to duplicate at a lesser cost (hence reduces quality, efficacy, dosing etc) and then mass promote with an extreme marketing gimmick. So hence my approach to Celebré was also very skeptic. So what better way to find out rather than try it myself. (And no, the Company did not sponsor the placenta supplements). What I am bound to write are the effects based on my own experience consuming this supplement, it may differ from individual to individual.
So I decided to test out the oral sheep placenta capsules. I have been trying a few brands over the years, but I guess this one did catch me by surprise. It comes in a standard box of 30 soft capsules. It is quite big, but swallowable. The good thing is the absence of any after taste that you get with some other supplements. It has a slight scent, but not smelly. I take one every morning on an empty stomach. I always take my supplements ideally on an empty stomach, because only then the best absorption occurs. For something this expensive, I'd want it to absorb as much.
The first week, I did not feel much difference. I was a little bit sleepier the first couple of days, but subsequently resolved. My energy level remained the same, and so was my appetite. But after consuming more than 7 days, I started noticing my skin texture feels softer, by the end of the second week, it felt as soft as my little girl. Even my staff noticed. My skin appeared to glow. It was cool. After the first box, I did notice some of my pigmentation appeared lightened. The skin remained soft. I guess this placenta focuses more on skin health rather than anything else.

After the first box, my skin looked so healthy that people started to ask me what have I been doing. I didn't even need to apply much lotion, my skin kept hydrated.
The most question I get when I tell them I am on placenta supplements is about menses cycle and break outs. I have to admit, the first month I had more breakouts than usual and more menses pains compared to usual. But towards the second month, the breakouts lessen, and I was without much menses pain. I guess, it does affect your hormones as well. Another question people do ask me is about how hot do I feel taking the supplement? Compared to other supplements, I would say it is tolerable. I think I sweat a bit more, and probably feels warmer to touch compared to when I am off it, but its not as bad as consuming deer placenta (super heaty).
So I've taken myself of the capsules for a bit, just to observe the effects. My skin remained super soft and hydrated for a good 2 weeks after stopping, and even now, although I feel that it can be softer, I feel that it was much better than before. According to their protocol, they advise to take 3 months directly then subsequently maintain by consuming two to three times a week. A box of celebré costs RM 880 for a months supply of 30 tablets. I'm waiting to restart on my 3rd box and then maintain.
This brand also comes in IM forms of placenta extracts, fetal extracts, fresh frozen cells, and they even have a Vegetal extract. However, as you guessed the products are in their thousands, and it is a science which many still argue about till today. Still, I have seen some people on the direct innoculation forms, and have seen how much it has kept them un-aged. Personally, I would subject myself to these alternative treatments once I start to feel my changed healthy lifestyle unable to ward off the signs of aging.
For the record, I do not smoke. I sleep early. I do not consume any form of alcohol and I am on a low to no sugar diet daily. I also exercise daily and do not take preserved foods, MSG and other chemically infested food products. I wear sunblock religiously and I drink at least 3 litres of water daily. So, your results may vary with what I have experienced. Lifestyle plays a very important role for skin health. The supplements will help, but for the best results, you will be required to do a few life style modifications. It is not just for placenta but other supplements as well like vitamin C, glutathione etc etc.
