Placenta Encapsulation

Thoughtful, professional care centered on your postpartum preferences

What is Placenta Encapsulation?

Throughout pregnancy, the placenta produces vital hormones and stores rich essential nutrients. After birth, a rapid shift in hormone levels can contribute to physical exhaustion, emotional sensitivity, and mood fluctuations.

Encapsulation offers a gentle, natural way to reintroduce these elements back into your body during the critical fourth trimester, assisting in a smoother recovery process.

Commonly Reported Benefits

While individual experiences vary and research is ongoing, many parents report positive outcomes when taking their placenta capsules, including:

01

Balanced Mood

Helps smooth out hormonal fluctuations to support emotional regulation and reduce the "baby blues."

02

Increased Energy

Reintroduces naturally occurring iron and vitamins to combat postpartum fatigue.

03

Lactation Support

Contains hormones like prolactin that may assist in establishing and boosting milk supply.

04

Uterine Recovery

Oxytocin present in the placenta aids in natural uterine contraction and reduced post-birth bleeding.

05

Overall Replenishment

Provides a natural source of nutrients to support bodily repair and tissue healing.

Our process

Safety and sanitation are the top priorities during the encapsulation process:

I suffered from depression and anxiety after the birth of my first child. I heard that taking placenta capsules could help. I admit it seemed weird to me, but honestly there isn’t anything I wouldn’t try to avoid that again. I was amazed at how it helped me. My second and third postpartum experiences were completely different and so much better than my first, and I truly believe it was taking my capsules.
