Kourtney Kardashian has revealed she has been taking pills of her own placenta to help maintain her health following the birth of her third child, Reign.

The 35-year-old shared a picture on her Instagram page, captioning it with: “Yummy...PLACENTA pills! No joke...I will be sad when my placenta pills run out. They are life changing!#benefits #lookitup.”

Kourtney has been open about the taking advantage of the health benefits from eating her own placenta.

In a previous episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kourtney and sister Kim joked about serving a meal containing human placenta.

Obviously it was a joke, but the practice of eating placenta has been highly regarded for centuries. It has previously been claimed that it can help combat post natal depression.

Atomic Kitten star Natasha Hamilton also addressed the topic before she gave birth to daughter, Ella.
