-the second day the dehydrated placenta is pulverized and encapsulated into vegan gel capsules
-you receive on average of 80 pills, but every placenta is different

Placenta consumption has not yet been rigorously, scientifically studied.  But it's a common occurrence in the mammalian world and by many cultures around the globe.  The studies that we do have suggest that placenta consumption is a great source of protein and the minerals sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, and manganese and that any harmful elements are well below toxic levels. 

​Anecdotal evidence reports that it can help steady the mood swings that result from fluctuating hormones during the "baby blues" and postpartum period, especially for those who dealt with anxiety and/or depression before they got pregnant.  In a scientific survey of those who consumed their placenta, 
“96% of people surveyed reported a positive experience with placentophagy and 98% said they would do it again after another pregnancy.”  We encourage you to do your own research, talk to your provider, and make up your own mind on whether placenta encapsulation is right for you and your family.  Please email us with any questions about the process.
