Placenta Encapsulation

Why ingest my placenta?

The placenta can be mom’s gateway to wellness postpartum as it contains high levels of various vitamins, such as B6, which can help curb postpartum depression. Consuming the placenta gives mom back all those nutrients she was providing for her unborn baby. Eating the placenta also increases a mother’s blood levels of a hormone known as CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone), a known stress-reducer. This hormone is normally secreted by the hypothalamus. Studies have also shown that eating the placenta can also increase milk production, and slow postpartum hemorrhage.

Your baby’s placenta, in capsule form, is believed to:

Contain your own natural hormones

Be perfectly made for you

Balance your system

Replenish depleted iron

Give you more energy

Lessen bleeding postnatally

Increase milk production

Help you prevent the baby blues

Be helpful during menopause

According to a study performed by the National Institutes of Health:

“During the last trimester of pregnancy, the placenta secretes so much CRH that the levels in the bloodstream increase threefold. However, it was also discovered that postpartum women have lower than average levels of CRH, triggering depressive symptoms. They concluded that the placenta secreted so much CRH that the hypothalamus stopped producing it.”

“After childbirth, the hypothalamus doesn’t immediately receive the signal to begin producing CRH again, which can lead to postpartum depression. Eating the placenta will raise a mother’s CRH levels therefore, reducing postpartum depression.”
