The Benefits of Placenta Encapsulation

Placenta encapsulation can be an intimidating and unknown topic for many people. It’s important to understand the positive advantages of encapsulating the placenta before making the decision for yourself. Let’s take a look at both the process and benefits of placenta encapsulation so you can be well-educated before beginning this journey.

How Does Placenta Encapsulation Work?

The process begins by condensing the placenta down to a powder form to be contained in a pill capsule for ingestion. A postpartum placenta specialist will create this powder by draining the placenta thoroughly, steaming the placenta, then slicing and dehydrating the placenta. Then it is ground down until it becomes a fine powder. The final step is to encapsulate the powder into a vitamin capsule.

What are Some Common Misconceptions About Ingesting Placenta?

Many speculate that ingesting the placenta can be harmful not only to you but your baby, however, there is a very straightforward reason why this is not the case. Not only did your placenta provide vital nutrients to your baby while in the womb, but your body developed this placenta from blood vessels that are geared toward defending the body from diseases. The benefits of consuming placenta far outway the possible risks. It’s always important to seek counsel from your doctor though when deciding to begin this process.

What Beneficial Components Does the Placenta Contain?
