Placenta Encapsulation

Placenta encapsulation is the process whereby the placenta is completely dried, ground and placed into empty capsules. Consuming encapsulated placenta after delivery is said to replenish the mother with hormones, vitamins and rich nutrients found in her placenta. Among the many benefits are:

 

  • Restoration of iron levels in the blood
  • Increased milk production
  • Increased energy
  • Increased release of the hormone oxytocin, which helps the uterus return to normal size and encourages bonding with the infant.
  • Increased CRH, a stress-reducing hormone
  • Decreased postpartum depression levels
