Benefits of Consuming Placenta Capsules

Increased Milk Supply

Whether you plan to breastfeed or pump milk for your baby, you want to ensure that you have all of the building blocks for an abundant milk supply. Your placenta capsules will help you by giving you the hormones and nutrients that your body needs to produce milk. Your placenta contains high levels of oxytocin, prolactin and placental lactogen, which are all integral to a healthy milk supply.

By ingesting your placenta your hormone levels may increase which in turn can increase your milk production.  Several small scale studies done over the past 100 years have shown overwhelmingly positive results in new mother's milk supply when ingesting their placenta. 

Faster Postpartum Recovery

After you baby is born your body is thrown into a state of repair and rebuilding. Your hormones are fluctuating and you may become anemic. By ingesting your placenta you are able to restore iron and protein that your body desperately needs. Your placenta also holds a great deal of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, all of which decreases bleeding and helps your uterus contract down to its pre-baby size.

Studies have shown that your placenta capsules contain just as much iron as a steak, with more of the comprehensive nutrients that your body needs during the "Fourth Trimester." By taking your placenta capsules during the 6 to 8 weeks postpartum you can see a steady rise in your energy and postpartum recovery.

Increased Energy and Better Moods​

Most new moms notice extra energy and better moods the first day of taking their capsules. This could be because of the extra oxytocin that can bring on feelings peace and well being, or placental opioid-enhancing factor, that is proven to increase your body's natural opioids that reduce pain. Fluctuating hormones can cause you to feel like you are riding a roller coaster. By taking your placenta capsules daily you should begin to feel like a new woman in no time!

​Many new mom's find that taking their capsules right before bed gives them so much energy that they have a hard time falling to sleep. If you find that this is an issue try taking your capsules at breakfast and lunch.
