Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is the process of transforming a new mother’s placenta into small, easy-to-take capsules. This practice, rooted in traditional medicine, is believed to offer numerous benefits during the postpartum period. The placenta, rich in nutrients and hormones, is carefully processed, dehydrated, and ground into a fine powder before being encapsulated. Many mothers report that taking placenta capsules helps with postpartum recovery by replenishing lost nutrients, boosting energy levels, balancing hormones, stabilizing mood, combat fatigue, help with pain relief, and supporting overall emotional well-being. The capsules may also aid in reducing postpartum bleeding, increasing milk supply, and lessening the risk of postpartum depression.
In addition to encapsulation, placenta tincture is another option that offers long-lasting benefits. A placenta tincture is made by steeping a small portion of the placenta in alcohol for 6 to 8 weeks, resulting in a potent extract. This tincture can be used well beyond the immediate postpartum period, offering continued support during times of stress, hormonal changes, or illness. Just a few drops under the tongue can provide an energy boost and emotional support when needed.
Our placenta encapsulation service is designed with your convenience and care in mind. We offer local pick-up at all area hospitals, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free process. Once collected, your placenta is processed within 24 to 72 hours, allowing you to begin experiencing the benefits quickly.

Many mothers find that they can continue to use their placenta tincture during times of stress, hormonal changes, or illness, even long after the postpartum period. Enjoy the benefits of both!
The average placenta typically yields between 80-160+ size 00 capsules, depending on the size of the placenta and the method of preparation. Factors such as how much of the placenta is used for encapsulation (some may be reserved for a tincture) and the specific processing technique can affect the final number of capsules. This range provides a sufficient amount to support a new mother throughout the postpartum period and beyond, depending on individual dosage preferences and needs.
