12 LIES ABOUT PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION YOU LIKELY BELIEVE
1. Can I DIY My Placenta Pills?
Technically, yes. But do you really want to? That’s another story.
You’re more than capable of processing your own placenta into pills—it’s not rocket science. But in those first days postpartum, between bonding with your baby and desperately trying to sleep, the last thing you’ll want to do is handle placenta prep. Been there, done that. Zero stars. Do not recommend.
If you’ve got someone ready to take on the mess, go for it. But if you’re in South Jersey, Central Jersey, Philadelphia, or the Jersey Shore, why not let me handle the heavy lifting? I’ll safely prepare your placenta so you can focus on your recovery. And I’ll have your placenta pills back to you before your body even realizes those hormones are gone.
2. Placenta Encapsulation Isn’t Regulated, So It’s Unsafe.
Regulation doesn’t always mean safety—you know this. (Looking at you, Red 40.)
What matters is expertise.
I’m a certified specialist with 13 years of experience serving moms in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Delaware. My workspace meets OSHA standards, and I follow strict food safety protocols to ensure clean, high-quality encapsulation. (I’m obsessive about this.)
Choosing a trained, certified professional means your placenta encapsulation is just as safe as ordering takeout from your favorite local café.
3. Home Processing Is Unsafe.
Not true. My workspace is a dedicated, sanitized area in my home, completely separate from pets and kids. Your safety is my priority.
Most families prefer home processing. Who wants a stranger in their kitchen right after they’ve given birth?
4. Consuming Placenta Is Cannibalism.
Cannibalism = eating someone else’s flesh.
Taking your own placenta pills = self-care.
Moving on.
5. It’s a Placebo Effect.
Maybe. But if it helps your postpartum recovery, does it really matter?
For over 1,500 moms in South Jersey, Philadelphia, and beyond, the benefits feel very real. Improved mood, better energy, and increased milk production are just a few perks they’ve experienced.
6. The Process Destroys All the Nutrients.
Nope. My steaming and dehydration process is designed to retain nutrients while ensuring safety. Research confirms that hormones like oxytocin and prolactin remain intact after processing.
Bottom line? You get the best of both worlds—safe consumption and postpartum support.
7. The Placenta Is Full of Toxins.
The placenta filters toxins—it doesn’t store them. Think of it like a Brita filter: it sends the bad stuff away, leaving behind nutrients and hormones that support your postpartum recovery.
8. Placenta Pills Hurt Milk Supply.
Actually, placenta pills support lactation. They contain hormones that naturally aid milk production.
If you’re in South Jersey or Philadelphia, I also offer postpartum support to troubleshoot any breastfeeding concerns. More often than not, milk supply issues stem from bad advice—not placenta pills.
9. It Can Make You or Your Baby Sick.
There’s zero evidence that properly prepared placenta pills cause illness. If you’ve heard about the 2017 Group B Strep (GBS) case, here’s what you need to know:
The issue wasn’t the pills themselves—it was improper handling before encapsulation. That’s why choosing a professional with strict safety protocols matters.

10. There’s No Research That Placenta Pills Work.
Lack of big pharmaceutical studies doesn’t mean lack of real results.
Moms in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and beyond swear by the benefits. And let’s be real—big drug companies aren’t exactly eager to promote a natural, woman-led solution that helps postpartum recovery.
With no known risks and plenty of potential advantages, why not try it?
11. It’s a Scam.
No one’s getting rich off placenta encapsulation.
At $400, my service covers my time, labor, and business expenses. I do this because I care about moms having a better postpartum experience than I did. Every professional encapsulator I know fully believes in the power of placentas.
12. It’s Weird and Gross.
I mean… “weird” is subjective.
If you can swallow a vitamin, you can take a placenta pill. And considering the benefits? Who cares if it’s weird?
Moms throughout South Jersey, Central Jersey, Philadelphia, and the Jersey Shore are embracing placenta encapsulation as a natural way to reclaim their postpartum experience.
