BBC Radio 1 star Vick Hope has opened up about her surprising method for tackling menopause symptoms: placenta tablets. The 34-year-old presenter revealed she turned to the unconventional remedy after struggling with fatigue and hormonal imbalances.
Speaking on the Celebs Go Dating podcast with Anna Williamson, Hope explained, "I've been taking placenta tablets for a while now, and they've made a noticeable difference. It might sound unusual, but for me, it's been a game-changer."
The Science Behind Placenta Therapy
While not mainstream, some alternative medicine practitioners advocate for placenta consumption postpartum, claiming it can help regulate hormones and boost energy. Hope's adoption of this method for menopause management has raised eyebrows but also sparked curiosity.
"I know it's not for everyone," Hope admitted, "but women should have options when dealing with menopause. We need to talk more openly about these experiences."
Celebrity Endorsements and Skepticism
Hope isn't the first celebrity to explore unusual menopause treatments. The discussion comes as more women in the public eye speak out about their struggles with this natural but often challenging life stage.
Medical professionals remain divided on the efficacy of placenta-based treatments, with some calling for more rigorous research. The NHS currently doesn't recommend placenta consumption for menopause relief.
As the conversation around menopause continues to grow, Hope's openness adds another dimension to the discussion about alternative approaches to women's health.
