If you're expecting or recently welcomed a baby, chances are you've heard about placenta encapsulation. Maybe you're curious, maybe you're skeptical—or maybe you're somewhere in between. Either way, you're not alone.
Placenta encapsulation is the process of steaming, dehydrating, and grinding the placenta into powder form, then placing it into capsules that you can take like a supplement. It’s a centuries-old tradition rooted in various cultures, and today, many modern parents are turning to it as a natural way to support their postpartum recovery.
As a placenta specialist offering encapsulation in Orlando and surrounding Central Florida cities, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative this practice can be. Let’s break down some of the most talked-about benefits.
1. Replenishes Iron Levels
Birth involves a natural blood loss, which can leave new parents feeling depleted. The placenta is rich in iron, and consuming it may support healthy iron levels—helping reduce fatigue, lightheadedness, and exhaustion.
2. Supports Hormonal Balance
Postpartum hormone shifts can be intense. The placenta contains small amounts of hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which may help soften the emotional ups and downs that are common after birth.
3. Boosts Natural Energy
Newborn life is beautiful—and tiring. Many parents report feeling more energized and less foggy when taking their placenta capsules consistently during the first few weeks after birth.
4. May Enhance Milk Supply
Some people notice a boost in milk production once they begin taking their capsules. While it’s not guaranteed, it may offer added support for your body’s natural lactation process.
5. Promotes a Smoother Recovery
Your placenta is full of nutrients that support healing and tissue repair. Taking it in capsule form may help your body recover more efficiently after the work of labor and birth.
6. Reduces the Risk of Baby Blues
Though not a replacement for medical care, placenta encapsulation is often credited with helping parents feel more emotionally stable, grounded, and resilient in those early weeks.
7. A Personalized Approach to Postpartum Care
Encapsulating your placenta is a meaningful way to honor the organ that sustained your baby. It’s a deeply personal step that many parents say helped them feel more connected to their postpartum journey.
