Preparation guidelines

We adhere to OSHA & EPA guidelines regarding blood-borne pathogen transmission & safe food handling. Placenta encapsulation is considered a food handling process, not a sterile medical procedure. All disposable equipment & supplies are eliminated. Non-disposable equipment is thoroughly sterilized between each use.

Your amazing placenta is full of vitamins, minerals, stem cells & healing properties, such as: 

• Oxytocin: The love hormone. Promotes feelings of love, connection & bonding; produced during breastfeeding to facilitate bonding between birthing parent & baby

• Prolactin: promotes lactation

• Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH): boosts energy, helps recovery from stressful events

• Cortisone: combats stress & unlocks energy stores

• Interferon: stimulates the immune system to protect against infections 

• Prostaglandins: anti-inflammatory

• Hemoglobin: replenishes iron deficiency & anemia, a common postpartum condition

• Urokinase Inhibiting Factor & Factor XIII: helps to stop bleeding & enhances wound healing

• Gammaglobulin: immune booster that helps protect against postpartum infections

• Gonadotropin: the precursor to estrogen, progesterone and testosterone
