Placenta Encapsulation Benefits
As women, we often spend a lot of time preparing for pregnancy and birth, but often forget to prepare for the postpartum period and our own postpartum recovery. Nature has provided us with the simplest way to give our body everything it needs during the 'fourth trimester'. Your placenta is a personalised supplement packed full of vitamins, nutrients and hormones to help you recover after birth including Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Oxytocin, Iron, Vitamins B6 and B12, Stem Cells and Oestrogen.
Support for postpartum journey
Promoting healing and hormonal balance in the weeks after birth. Essential amino acids are the building blocks of proteins for healing and recovery, whilst Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone helps regulate the stress response.
Enhanced milk production
Hormones and minerals help to support healthy lactation. Prolactin supports healthy milk supply and Oxytocin the 'love hormone' aids in the let down reflex.
Reduced post-partum bleeding
The presence of Oxytocin and Prostoglandins in the placenta can naturally help the uterus contract after birth. These stronger uterine contractions may assist in closing blood vessels leading to lighter and shorted bleeding
Iron replenishment
Naturally occuring iron in the placenta can help restore iron levels and reduce postpartum anaemia. Minerals such as Zinc and Copper support red blood cell production and recovery.
Balanced mood and emotional wellbeing
Mothers report fewer 'baby blues' and reduced incidence of postpartum depression. Progesterone and Estrogen aid in mood regulation and hormonal balance
Improved energy and reduced fatigue
Replenishing nutrients lost after birth. Vitamin B6 & B12 support energy levels and nervous system health. Human Placental Lactogen supports metabolism and energy availability.
