Placenta Encapsulation

Benefits

Prevents Hormonal Imbalances: Placenta encapsulation can help stabilize hormonal fluctuations after childbirth, reducing symptoms of postpartum depression and stress, including anxiety, sadness, and mood swings.

Increases Energy: By replenishing essential nutrients, such as Vitamin B6, the capsules can boost postpartum energy levels and decrease fatigue, helping new mothers feel more vibrant and alert.

Encourages Lactation: The capsules help balance oxytocin and prolactin levels, enhancing milk supply. Many mothers report increased milk production within 1-2 days of taking the pills.

Improves Postpartum Sleep: Restoring iron levels through placenta encapsulation can aid in achieving restful sleep, which is crucial for recovery and overall well-being.

Reduces Pain: The capsules can significantly decrease postpartum bleeding and cramping, providing much-needed relief during the recovery period.

FAQ

How many pills will come from a placenta?
The number of pills depends on the placenta’s size. Smaller placentas yield about 85-100 pills, while larger placentas can produce over 300. The size can be influenced by factors like late-term pregnancies and twins.

What if I have twins?
Encapsulating both placentas is recommended, as the additional support can be highly beneficial.

What should I do in cases of meconium exposure?
Meconium staining is not a contraindication. We thoroughly rinse the placenta before processing, as meconium does not absorb into the placental tissue.

Does epidural or Pitocin use, or a C-section, affect the placenta?
These medical interventions do not impact the placenta’s viability for encapsulation.

Can I encapsulate my placenta if the mother and baby are Rh incompatible?
Yes, placenta consumption is safe in cases of Rh incompatibility.

Can I harvest stem cells and still do placenta encapsulation?
Yes, stem cells can be harvested from the placenta even after delayed cord clamping, ensuring the baby receives the maximum benefit of their own blood volume.

Will the hospital allow me to keep my placenta?
Hospital policies vary, so it’s best to check with your facility ahead of time. Bringing a cooler can help ensure the placenta is properly stored until you can take it home.

How should the placenta be stored before processing?
The placenta should be refrigerated or kept in a cooler with ice. It remains viable in the fridge for up to three days; after that, it should be frozen.

When will I feel the effects of the pills?
Most mothers notice benefits within 1-2 days of starting the capsules, following the recommended dosage instructions provided.

Are there any undesirable side effects?
While rare, some mothers may experience minor side effects like unpleasant burping, headaches, or nausea. These can often be managed by adjusting the dosage or storing the pills in the fridge or freezer.

Is your process hygienic?
Absolutely. We adhere to strict hygiene standards, using disposable equipment when possible and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting all tools to prevent the spread of disease.
