Placenta Encapsulation

The placenta contains crucial hormones and iron that leave your body after your baby is born. Humans (at least in the Western world) are one of the few land mammals that do not regularly eat their placentas. Consuming the placenta in any form can help new mothers maintain their hormone and iron levels in the few weeks after the birth, which can speed healing and help curb fatigue and anxiety.

Placenta encapsulation is a process in which, immediately following the birth of your baby, your placenta is dehydrated and ground into a course powder. This powder is then placed into small capsules that look exactly just like any other vitamin or supplement you might take. Mothers then consume these capsules to help them rebound from the birth, avoid postpartum blues, and boost their milk supply.
