Placenta Encapsulation Services

Studies show that a sudden drop in hormones after birth happens within the first few days. By taking the placenta pills, women may be able to stave off this drop by putting them back into their system before this happens, creating a buffer against the crash, and decreasing their chance of getting the baby blues. Our Placenta Encapsulation Specialist is SERV SAFE certified and will deliver to you a finished product of pills within 72 hours to your home with a written copy as to the recommendations on taking them. Arrangements will be made in advance for the pick up of placenta and you must provide a cooler or container with ice for transportation.
