Benefits of Encapsulation

What are the benefits of encapsulation?
Many natural-minded postpartum mothers choose placenta encapsulation to:
  • Support postpartum healing – Rich in iron, vitamins, and hormones that may help the body recover faster.
  • Balance hormones – May reduce mood swings, anxiety, and baby blues.
  • Increase energy levels – Helps with fatigue and postpartum depletion.
  • Enhance milk supply – Some women report increased breast milk production.
  • Replenish lost iron – The placenta contains iron and essential nutrients to combat postpartum anemia.
Surveys and research studies indicate that women who consume their placenta report improvements in:
  • Energy Levels- 82% of women who consumed their placenta reported increased energy postpartum.²
  • Mood & Hormonal Balance - **80% reported improved mood and a decrease in postpartum blues.**² A 2017 study found that placenta consumption helped regulate postpartum hormone levels, potentially reducing mood swings and anxiety.⁴
  • Breastfeeding & Milk Supply - 64% of mothers noticed an increase in breast milk supply after consuming their placenta.² Some midwives and lactation consultants recommend encapsulation for milk production support.
  • Iron Levels & Postpartum Recovery - Placenta capsules contain iron, B vitamins, and hormones, which may help prevent postpartum anemia.⁵A 2016 study found that iron levels were better maintained in women who consumed their placenta compared to those who took a standard iron supplement.⁶
  • Reduction in Postpartum Depression (PPD)
  • 40% of women who had a history of PPD reported fewer depressive symptoms when consuming their placenta.²
  • Lower rates of fatigue and emotional distress were noted among placenta-consuming mothers.²
Nutritional & Hormonal Content of the Placenta
Placenta tissue contains essential nutrients and hormones that may aid in postpartum recovery, including:
  • Iron – Supports energy levels and prevents postpartum anemia.
  • Estrogen & Progesterone – Helps regulate mood and hormone balance postpartum.
  • Cortisol – Supports stress reduction and adaptation to motherhood.
  • Oxytocin – Known as the "love hormone," oxytocin enhances bonding, milk production, and emotional well-being.
A 2018 lab analysis of placenta capsules confirmed that they contain detectable levels of estrogen, progesterone, and iron, suggesting potential biological benefits for postpartum mothers.⁷
