Placenta encapsulation and so much more.

PLACENTOPHAGY - “The ingestion of a human placenta postpartum, at any time, by any person, either in raw or altered (e.g., cooked, dried, steeped in liquid) form.”

Why do we do this?

The Chinese, Vietnamese, Hungarians and Italians have all been known to prepare part or all of the new mother’s placenta for her own consumption. These cultures believe that the placenta is rich in nutrients that will help the mother to recover from childbirth, including slowing and stopping hemorrhaging during birth and helping with milk supply.

It is believed that consuming the placenta can:

  • Help to balance hormones
  • Replenish depleted iron levels
  • Assist the uterus to return to its pre-pregnancy size
  • Reduce bleeding after birth
  • Increase milk production
  • Help the mother get more restful sleep
  • Increase the mother’s energy levels

What Research or Evidence Exists on Placentophagy?

Unfortunately there has been very little human research done for placentophagy. You can find some related research information on The Placenta Benefits website, but no major studies have been done. But it does make sense to many mothers to take back in the hormones and iron that are lost during birth; a time of major blood loss and hormonal upheaval. (Feelings of depression and low mood can be symptoms of iron deficiency.) Despite the lack of major human studies, mothers who have had their placenta prepared for them swear by it and quickly recommend it to others. Many mothers struggle with feeling the “baby blues” during the postpartum period with their first babies and decide on placenta services for their second, with remarkably positive results to report. Here’s a great study that was released in Feb 2013: EFN Placentophagy Survey

Client Experience

My pills saved me from the dark clouds of post partum. They helped me to feel whole again by giving me energy, helping me to sleep, helping me to calm my emotions and also to enjoy my emotions. I have used my capsules intermittently for the last 8 months to revive me and help my body as it changes thru this 1st yr post partum. 


Thank you Celest for helping me and providing such care and understanding through the entire process. I cherish my picture of my placenta. I do not show everyone because not everyone believes the same as I do, but my placenta was life for my baby and it is cherished. 



Your amazing at your job. Thank you!
