Benefits and Risks
(through the lens of the hormones at play and surrounding supported anecdotal evidence)
01
Balanced Hormones
Immediately after birth and into the early weeks of postpartum your body will experience a pretty significant shift in hormones. After 9 months of your body providing higher levels of hormones (estrogen and progesterone) to support you and your baby's health there is a significant drop in these hormones (typically by day 3 of postpartum) which results in a lot of mothers and birthing people feeling a bit more emotional and experiencing something commonly known as baby blues.
​
Women and birthing people who have consumed their placenta capsules report that they feel more emotionally and mentally balanced in the earlier weeks postpartum when people are more likely to experience bouts of baby blues and postpartum depression.

Healthy Breastmilk Production
Did you know: traditional midwives would give a mother a small piece of her placenta dipped in honey to place in her mouth to help slow and stop postpartum hemorrhage
Hormones prolactin and oxytocin are most responsible for the production and expression of breastmilk. In the earlier days of postpartum to support your breastmilk to come in the levels of estrogen and progesterone significantly drop- which causes a significant hormone imbalance in mothers.
While there is a concern that the hormone estrogen can possibly decrease an establishing breastmilk supply - anecdotal evidence supports that most mothers either report an increase or maintained levels in their breastmilk supply. We believe this to be true as it has been shown that placenta capsules help to regulate and balance all of your hormones allowing mothers and birthing people to avoid experiencing the extreme shifts of hormonal imbalances.
03
Increased Energy
Low iron levels can have a significant impact on: your energy levels causing fatigue, your mood causing irritability, and your blood and oxygen levels which directly impact the brain and muscles which can cause brain fog and reduced mental and physical strength.
It is important to note that a healthy diet during pregnancy can significantly help your iron stores that are retained in your placenta to support you during postpartum when choosing to encapsulate your placenta.
​
Increasing your iron intake during pregnancy helps to give your baby a brain boost as well as support your immune system and physical strength and health.
​
Anecdotal evidence shows that new mothers and birthing people who consume their placenta capsules have an increase in both their energy levels and mental clarity.
