FAQs
is placenta encapsulation safe?
Placenta pills are safe. There is no evidence anywhere that anyone has gotten sick or worse from taking placenta pills. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are flat-out wrong and haven’t done their due diligence.
The risks of taking placenta pills are about the same as when you eat out in a restaurant — you’re trusting that the person preparing what you’re about to eat has taken all precautions to keep you healthy and safe.
As a professional placenta encapsulator, your safety is my top priority. I hold both a food handler’s card and a certificate with OSHA for bloodborne pathogens. I follow all recommendations carefully. Every time.
what if I’m out of your service area?
Many placenta encapsulators will have you ship your placenta to them, but to me, that’s just silly. Companies like Mommy Made Encapsulation are high profit, low touch, which to me is kinda gross.
I’m all about supporting local businesses, even if that means I don’t get the business. If you’re out of my service area, let me know where you’re giving birth and I’ll help you find a reliable and qualified placenta encapsulation service near you.
Am I allowed to keep my placenta?
Your placenta is yours as much as your baby is yours. Only you have agency over your placenta.
That being said, all hospitals in my service area have placenta release policies, so you won’t have any problem keeping yours.
Does placenta encapsulation work?
The reported benefits of placenta encapsulation are based on anecdotal evidence from individual experiences. While many women—myself included—have reported positive effects from consuming our placentas, there’s no proven research YET.
You can check out my reviews on Google to see what my specific clients have to say about it.
Will placenta pills help increase my milk supply for breastfeeding?
The evidence on whether placenta pills increase milk supply is mixed and largely anecdotal. Some mothers, including many of my clients, report improved milk supply after taking placenta pills. This could be due to the potential presence of hormones like oxytocin and prolactin or the nutritional support they might provide during postpartum recovery.

Can taking placenta pills prevent postpartum depression?
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.
Is placenta encapsulation safe if I test positive for GBS (group B Strep)?
Yes, even if you test positive for GBS, your placenta is safe for consumption. That goes for if you have COVID, if your baby poops in the womb (meconium), if you have a low grade fever, etc. There are very few instances when the placenta would be unsafe for consumption.
