Placenta Encapsulation

The human placenta is rich in vitamins, minerals and hormones that, when properly prepared for ingestion, may greatly enhance a woman/birthing person’s recovery after the birth experience.

Further benefits may include:

• Nourishing the blood of the new mother/birthing persons

• Enhancing breast/chestmilk production

• Improving energy and quality of sleep

• Reducing the onset of postpartum depression

All of of the above are crucial to a new mom/postpartum person’s ability to adjust to both the physical and emotional changes that take place after baby is born.

When labor begins, you will alert your contracted Placenta Specialist. Your Placenta Specialist will pick up your placenta from your home or hospital ideally within 24 hours of your birth. This will be scheduled directly with the specialist with the number provided to you.  The encapsulation process will take 24 to 48 hours to complete.

Placenta package includes:

• Placenta capsules

• Placenta tincture

• Umbilical cord keepsake

Once your capsules are ready they will will be delivered to you and you be provided information on taking the capsules.  Once you sign up for this service, you will be contacted by the independent Placenta Specialist to complete the contract and agreement for services.                                                                           

A single placenta will yield approximately  80-150 capsules. 

 Additional Placenta services are available.
