Don’t Let Your Placenta Go to Waste!
You grew your placenta, and it fed and housed your baby. It’s an incredible organ, and it deserves better than to be tossed in the trash!
Your placenta is packed with vitamins, nutrients, and hormones that have worked hard to keep your hormones regulated during your pregnancy.
Consuming your placenta capsules can help your body manage your hormones until your hypothalamus gets back to work, usually a few weeks after you give birth.

“This was by far the best decision I’ve ever made! I wish I would have done this with my other children. I’ve felt amazing since I took the first pill after labor and still feel amazing to this day.”
Tanaeya B.
“I had severe depression during my pregnancy. I have been using the pills and have not had any baby blues or signs of depression. Quite the contrary, I've been pleasant, happy and enjoying my baby.”
Dana H., Owner of Embrace Doulas
“This summer, I welcomed my 4th and final baby. For the first time, I did not suffer with postpartum anxiety. I had PP anxiety after all 3 of my previous births, and pretty severe depression after my 2nd baby. There was a noticeable difference this time, and I do attribute much of that to consuming my placenta."

While I look forward to the day when someone does a thorough study about the benefits of placenta pills, I’m not sure when it will happen. Let’s face it, big pharma doesn’t really want word getting out that women can help themselves, right?
But, there is research that supports placenta consumption. Check out this link if you’re interested.

The "baby blues" is a common postpartum symptom where new moms experience feelings of sadness, anxiety, and are highly emotional after giving birth. These symptoms can progress to postpartum depression (PPD) or postpartum anxiety (PPA) if not addressed. Research shows that PPD/PPA symptoms are linked to a deficiency in vital nutrients like iron, vitamin B6, and the stress-reducing hormone CRH, all of which are found in high concentrations in your placenta. Taking placenta pills can potentially help prevent these symptoms by providing new moms with the essential nutrients and hormones they need after childbirth. However, it's essential to note that placenta pills are not a substitute for medical treatment or a magic solution to postpartum issues. It's crucial to take a holistic approach to postpartum care, and if you experience anxiety or depression symptoms, reach out for professional help.
-
It's important to note that these reported benefits are based on anecdotal evidence from individual experiences and are not backed by scientific studies. While many women (myself included) have reported positive effects from consuming their placenta, there is not yet enough scientific evidence to support these claims.
You can check out my reviews on Google to see what my specific clients have to say about it.

It is important to prioritize your health and safety during the postpartum period. If you experience any unexpected symptoms or develop a fever, it is important to contact your healthcare provider right away. Additionally, if there is any concern about the safety or contamination of your placenta, it is best to err on the side of caution and not consume it. If you become sick during your postpartum period, it is important to stop taking your placenta pills and contact your encapsulation specialist to develop a plan for safely weaning off of them. Abruptly stopping consumption can have negative effects, so it is important to seek guidance in this situation.

When I receive your placenta, I ensure that it is stored in my dedicated placenta fridge until I'm ready to begin processing. To ensure hygiene, I sanitize my workspace and rinse your placenta with cold water, removing any clots or vernix that may be present. If there is meconium, I carefully remove the membranes and rinse with rice vinegar for added safety. Then, I steam the placenta gently for 5-10 minutes, depending on its size. Next, I slice it thinly and place it on dehydrator trays, resembling beef jerky. Overnight, it dehydrates, and in the morning, I grind it into a fine powder and encapsulate it into your capsules. Finally, I store your capsules in a container and prepare them for delivery back to you.

The number of capsules your placenta will yield depends on the size of your baby and placenta. On average, a placenta produces around 140 size 0 capsules. However, the number can vary depending on the size of the placenta. I have worked with smaller placentas that yield about 70 capsules and larger ones that produce over 200. Rest assured, you will receive enough capsules to support you during your postpartum period until your body's natural production of hormones returns to normal.
-
I take great care to ensure that there are no mix-ups in the processing of your placenta. I only process one placenta at a time, and I have a placenta-specific fridge in my workspace. Every placenta that goes in the fridge is labeled. The only thing in your placenta capsules is your own dehydrated placenta. While the placenta is made specifically for you, any female in your maternal family line can also benefit from it. So, if you want to share with your sisters, mother, aunts, grandmothers, daughters, or any other family member, you can do so with confidence.

I recommend using your placenta pills within two years. To preserve the potency of your placenta pills, it's important to keep them away from direct heat, light, and moisture for the first six weeks. After that, you can store them in your freezer for up to two years. While they won't "go bad", like most herbal supplements, their potency may decrease over time. It's best to use all of your capsules before your baby's second birthday.
