For thousands of years, placenta has been used to avoid postpartum symptoms: depression, low vitality, fatigue, insufficient lactation, low birth weight and hormonal imbalance.
Have your placenta processed into capsules to replenish the energy and nutrients you lost during pregnancy.
Bye-Bye Baby Blues
The placenta is composed of healing chemicals.
The known ingredients that give the placenta its healing properties are:
Gonadotrophin : the precursor to estrogen, progesterone and testosterone,
Prolactin : promotes lactation,
Oxytocin : for pain and bonding; produced during breastfeeding to facilitate bonding of mother and infant. In pharmaceutical form this is a very addictive drug because it promotes a feeling of connectedness with others,
Thyroid stimulating hormone : boosts energy and helps recovery from stressful events,
Cortisone : combats stress and unlocks energy stores,
Interferon : stimulates the immune system to protect against infections,
Prostaglandins : anti-inflammatory,
Hemoglobin : replenishes iron deficiency and anemia, a common postpartum condition,
Urokinase inhibiting factor and factor XIII : stops bleeding and enhances wound healing,
Gammaglobulin : immune booster that helps protect against postpartum infections.
So, as you can see, the placenta is full of feel-good hormones and healing chemicals,
making the first few months with your baby the happiest of your life!
“I absolutely noticed the difference in my mood if I missed a dose (I used to take 2 in the morning and 2 before bed). If I missed my morning dose, I would get tired and very irritable. I also think it benefitted my daughter's and my breastfeeding journey greatly.
-J. Rubinger
I had terrible depression after my first baby, so for my second I tried the capsules. What a difference! I want every woman to know about this.”
-G. Treopaldo
“2 months after delivery I went back to work. I got stressed and my milk got watery. [My baby] hated the taste of the milk, so I would take 3 capsules at a time and a day later my milk was creamy and he was happy again.”
-D. Thornton
I had my placenta encapsulated after my second baby, and I had such a different postpartum experience, no anxiety, no baby blues, less bleeding and a more abundant milk supply!! I still have some in my freezer one year later, and I take them on my “off” days… my husband has been know to pop a few on days he feels “PMS-y” also!! Such a wonderful experience!
-Kate, mom of 2 and a Doula

"It has been shown that the feeding of desiccated placenta to women during the first eleven days after parturition causes an increase in the protein and lactose percent of the milk... All the mothers were receiving the same diet, and to the second set 0.6mg of desiccated placenta was fed three times a day throughout the period. Certain definite differences in the progress of growth of the two sets of infants are to be observed. It is evident that the recovery from the postnatal decline in weight is hastened by the consumption of milk produced under the influence of maternally ingested placenta." McNeile, Lyle G. 1918. The American journal of obstetrics and diseases of women and children, 77. W.A. Townsend & Adams, original press: University of Michigan.
"Powdered Placenta Hominis was used for 57 cases of insufficient lactation. Within 4 days, 48 women had markedly increased milk production, with the remainder following suit over the next three days." Bensky/Gamble. 1997. Materia Medica, Eastland Press, 549.
"All patients were given desiccated placenta prepared as previously described (C.A. II, 2492) in doses of 10 grains in a capsule 3 times a day. Only those mothers were chosen for the study whose parturition was normal and only the weights of those infants were recorded whose soul source of nourishment was mothers milk. The growth of 177 infants was studied. The rate of growth is increased by the ingestion of placenta by the mother... the maternal ingestion of dried placenta tissue so stimulates the tissues of the infants feeding on the milk produced during this time, that unit weight is able to add on greater increments of matter, from day to day, than can unit weight of infants feeding on milk from mothers not ingesting this substance." Hammett, Frederick. S. 1918. The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 36. American Society of Biological Chemists, Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, original press: Harvard University.
"Giving...placenta to a new mother following birth has become standard protocol among a growing number of midwives in the United States. By nourishing the blood and fluids, endocrine glands and organs, Placenta will ...reduce or stop postpartum bleeding, speed up recovery, boost energy and relieve postpartum blues." Homes, Peter. 1993. Jade Remedies, Snow Lotus Press, 352.
A specialist will process your placenta into 200-250 capsules to take whenever you feel depressed, have trouble with lactation, if low baby weight is a concern or if you feel you don't have the energy to get through the day.
