Placenta Encapsulation: Honoring your body's post-birth offerings with a suite of nurturing products.
We celebrate the incredible process of birth and the miraculous gifts it brings—not only the gift of a new life but also the often-overlooked gift from your body: the placenta.
What is Placenta Encapsulation?
Placenta encapsulation involves the steaming, dehydrating, and grinding of your placenta into a fine powder, which is then encapsulated into easy-to-take pills. Many new parents choose this service to potentially benefit from the nutrients and hormones contained in the placenta, which may help in postpartum recovery, hormone balance, and increased energy levels.
​
Why Choose Placenta Encapsulation?
After you give birth and the placenta is released so are all those hormones that have been part of your world for the past 9 months. Encapsulating your placenta gives you the opportunity to slowly replace those hormones and nutrients you lost so your fourth-trimester recovery is easier on you and your body.
It is chosen by many for its potential benefits, which include:
​
-
Enhanced Postpartum Recovery: The placenta is rich in nutrients and hormones that may support your body’s healing process after birth.
-
Emotional Support: Some mothers report feeling more balanced and less prone to postpartum mood swings when taking placenta capsules.
-
Increased Energy Levels: The nutrients in placenta capsules may help boost energy levels during the demanding early days of motherhood.
-
Support for Lactation: The natural hormones in the placenta may support milk production, helping you establish a strong breastfeeding relationship.​​​​​​​​​​

WHAT WE DO:
1.
We use only temperature controlled dehydrators to protect the integrity of the placenta throughout the dehydrating process.
3.
Our processors grind the dehydrated placenta into a fine powder to ensure that is dispensed evenly throughout the pills for consistent dosage.
5.
We keep your placenta labelled with your name during the duration of its transportation, handling, processing and shipping.
2.
We only use specialized equipment that can be fully disassembled for complete sanitation after each individual placenta.
4.
We visually examine each placenta for abnormalities and signs of deterioration, infection, or contamination before allowing encapsulation.
6.
We use all natural gelatin or vegetarian capsules; gluten, GMO, and preservative free that are Kosher and Halal certified.
What is the Placenta?
The placenta is a nutrient-rich, temporary organ, conceived to facilitate life between birthing parent and child. It is full of protein, iron, hormones, minerals and vitamins. The placenta is so potent and nutritionally balanced nearly all mammals consume the placenta after birth. In many ways, placentophagy (consumption of the placenta) is nature's postpartum supplement. Made by you, for you. The act of encapsulating simply makes consumption more palatable for most parents, while extending the benefits over weeks instead of days.
WHAT WE DON'T DO:
We will not use an oven for dehydrating (it is impossible to get an oven down to a low enough temperature to keep enzymes intact) or a dehydrator that does not have a temperature control function.
We do not add any herbs, spices, or other additives to your placenta pills. Capsules are 100% your placenta.
We do not process multiple placentas together — all are processed in the order they are received, one at a time in separate work areas.
​​​
​​We will not process placentas that have been in contact with any chemicals or contaminants or appear unsuitable for consumption.
