Placenta Encapsulation is a unique form of placentophagy, or placental consumption, where within a few days of birth the placenta is dehydrated, ground into a fine powder, and placed in capsules for personal use.
What are the benefits?
The placenta is full of hormones and nutrients believed to aid in recovery after childbirth. It can help restore blood iron levels, boost breastmilk supply, help the uterus return to it's pre-pregnancy size, increase energy, and help ward the "Baby Blues" and Postpartum Depression.
How is it prepared?
We use what is known as the "Raw Method" of encapsulation. We dehydrate the placenta from its raw form, to preserve as many of the nutrients as possible. Then it is ground into a fine powder and placed in gelatin capsules.
How many capsules will you get?
Because each placenta is unique in size, the isn't a preset quantity. The average placenta, however, yields approximately 100 capsules in size "00".
Where is it prepared?
We offer both in-home and remote services for your comfort and convenience.
