Why Choose Placenta Encapsulation?
Placenta encapsulation is a traditional practice that many parents turn to for its reported benefits, which may include:
Increased postpartum energy levels — Many mothers report feeling more energized and capable of handling the demands of newborn care.
Balanced hormone regulation — The placenta contains hormones that may help stabilize mood swings and reduce postpartum depression.
Improved mood and reduced risk of baby blues — Encapsulation may provide emotional support during the crucial postpartum period.
Enhanced milk supply — Some mothers find an increase in their milk production, which supports breastfeeding.
Faster postpartum recovery — The placenta’s nutrients can aid in replenishing iron levels and speeding up recovery.
Each placenta is carefully prepared following strict safety and sanitation guidelines, ensuring you receive a high-quality product designed to support your postpartum journey.
The Science Behind Placenta Encapsulation
While more research is needed, some studies suggest that consuming your placenta might help:
Replenish Iron Levels: Childbirth can significantly deplete iron levels, and the placenta is rich in this vital mineral.
Support Hormonal Balance: It contains hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which can support the body’s natural balance postpartum.
Enhance Mood and Energy: Nutrients like vitamin B6 found in the placenta are known for their role in mood regulation.
It’s important to consult with your healthcare provider before deciding if placenta encapsulation is right for you.

Placenta Encapsulation After a C-Section:
What You Need to Know
If you have a C-section, placenta encapsulation is still an option in most cases! Many parents who have a surgical birth choose to encapsulate their placenta to support their postpartum recovery. The process remains largely the same, but there are a few extra steps to ensure everything is handled safely and smoothly.
Our team will work with you and your medical providers to coordinate the release of your placenta. Some hospitals have specific policies on placenta release, so we recommend checking with your care team in advance. If needed, we can provide you with documentation or guidance on how to request the release of your placenta after surgery.
Whether you have a vaginal birth or a C-section, placenta encapsulation can be a beneficial part of your postpartum recovery, potentially supporting hormone balance, energy levels, and milk production. If you have any concerns, we’re happy to discuss the process with you and answer any questions!
