A service in Lincoln is offering placenta encapsulation and a range of bespoke placenta products to new mothers.

Mamatoto Birthing, run by Rachael Ruddock, provides support for women throughout their pregnancy, and offers to transform the placenta postpartum into capsules, smoothies, and oils.

Some of the reported benefits of consuming the organ include increased breast milk production, increased energy, restoration of iron levels, and helping to ward off postnatal depression.

Speaking to The Lincolnite Podcast, Rachael said that she’d provided placenta encapsulation to more than 100 women since she founded the company, which she began after feeling the benefits of the service through her own pregnancies.

Rachael, also an engineer in the Royal Air Force, later went on to describe the process of creating the capsules, and is the only placenta encapsulation specialist to hold a five-star food & hygiene rating in Lincolnshire.

As the cost of living continues to blight the British public, a potential hike of interest rates on student loans is giving future graduates cause for concern.

Recently published data by The Institute for Fiscal Studies indicates the maximum interest rate, charged to graduates earning more than £49,130, could soar from 4.5% to a staggering 12% in September.

The interest rate for low-earning graduates could also see a monumental increase, from 1.5% to 9%.

The grim projections come in the same month National Insurance payments increased by 1.25% to help the NHS recover from the effects of the pandemic, as the cost of living continues to prick the pockets of the nation.
