“After the birth of my fourth child, I decided to try placenta encapsulation. I had struggled with my mood and milk supply with the first three and was hopeful for a better postpartum. I’m so very glad I chose to try this! I felt so much calmer, more balanced, and better equipped to handle the ups and downs of postpartum life. On top of that, my milk supply increased significantly, making breastfeeding so much easier and enjoyable! Placenta encapsulation gave me the emotional and physical boost I needed to thrive! SO much so that I chose to do it again with my fifth baby with equally great results! I highly recommend it to any expecting mother!” ~Joy G. Mother of 5

The Placenta contains many chemical compounds, minerals, vitamins, and hormones that can benefit your body!
Research from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23445390/ identified nutrients were present in the placenta in amounts that could contribute meaningfully to daily nutritional requirements. The elements in the placenta, included arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, rubidium, selenium, strontium, uranium, and zinc, with no significant heavy metals.
Encapsulated placenta also contains beneficial hormones. A study examining maternal salivary hormone levels detected changes in hormone concentrations that could influence a mother’s physiological state. The capsules were found to include hormones such as 11-deoxycortisol, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, 7-ketodehydroepiandrosterone, aldosterone, allopregnanolone, androstenedione, corticosterone, cortisol, cortisone, dehydroepiandrosterone, estradiol, estriol, estrone, progesterone, and testosterone. Notably, estradiol, progesterone, and allopregnanolone were present at levels considered clinically significant (based on a standard 3300 mg dose), potentially benefiting bodily functions.
Estradiol- may help postpartum mothers by supporting mood stability, enhancing energy, and promoting faster recovery through its hormonal effects.
Progesterone– may benefit postpartum mothers by promoting uterine involution, stabilizing mood, and supporting lactation.
Allopregnanolone– may benefit postpartum mothers by reducing anxiety and improving mood, acting as a natural calming agent. Interestingly, allopregnanolone is the key component in brexanolone, a recently approved medication showing promise for treating postpartum mood disorders.
