Risks of Encapsulation
What are the risks of encapsulation?
Placenta encapsulation is generally considered safe when prepared following proper sanitation and dehydration guidelines. However, concerns include:
Bacterial Contamination
If not handled properly, the placenta can carry bacteria, viruses, or infections such as Group B Strep (GBS), E. coli, or Salmonella.Solution: We use safe handling and sanitation procedures to prevent contamination.
Hormone Sensitivity
The placenta contains hormones that helped sustain pregnancy. Some mothers may experience hormonal imbalances, such as headaches, mood changes, or anxiety if their body is sensitive to these hormones.Solution: If you notice negative effects, you can adjust or stop taking the capsules. Improper Storage & Preparation
Inadequate refrigeration or improper drying can lead to spoilage and bacterial growth.Solution: We follow strict temperature control and dehydration guidelines to ensure safety. Unregulated Industry Standards
Placenta encapsulation is not regulated by the FDA, meaning quality and safety standards vary between providers.Solution: Always choose an encapsulator with professional training, proper sanitation, and transparent practices—like Root & Renew!
