Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing and dehydrating your placenta after birth, then grinding it into a fine powder and placing it into capsules for you to consume. Many mothers choose this holistic postpartum remedy to support hormone balance, energy levels, emotional wellbeing, and breast milk supply naturally.

Reported benefits of placenta encapsulation include:

• Increased energy and reduced postpartum fatigue

• Improved mood and emotional balance

• Reduced postpartum bleeding

• Support with milk production

• Restoration of vital nutrients such as iron and B vitamins

While scientific research is limited, many families find placenta capsules to be a beautiful addition to their postpartum recovery plan.

The number of capsules varies depending on the size of your placenta, but most mothers receive 80–150 capsules. You’ll also receive dosage guidance for the postpartum period.

You can book your encapsulation service anytime during pregnancy, ideally by 32–34 weeks, to ensure your place is secured. Once booked, you’ll receive a Placenta Care Kit with an esky and storage instructions to take to your birth.
