Is it safe to ship a placenta?

Yes, this is exactly what the kit is designed for. Your placenta travels frozen inside the insulated transport cooler we provide, with clear packing and carrier instructions enclosed. On arrival it is inspected before processing begins.

How long until I receive my capsules?

Encapsulation is completed within 48-72 hours of your placenta being received, then your capsules, dose guide, and cord keepsake are sent to your home. Placenta tinctures take longer to prepare and are sent about 6-8 weeks after delivery.

Do I need a provider near me?

No. Because the process is ship-in from start to finish, you can be anywhere in Texas: your birth location and your kitchen counter are the only places your placenta needs to be before it ships.

The standard package includes approximately 80-200 capsules (depending on placenta size), a special umbilical cord keepsake, and a suggested dose and usage guide. Tincture and salve add-ons and a bundle package are available.

Why encapsulate your placenta?

Many women report that their placenta capsules have helped them with increased milk supply, decreased feelings of imbalance, improved energy, reduced fatigue, and much more.

The placenta contains wonderful hormones and nutrients with many benefits:

Cortisone: combats stress and is energy boosting.
Gamma Globulin: immunity booster.
Gonadotropin: the precursor to estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Hemoglobin: replenishes iron.
Interferon: stimulates the immune system.
Oxytocin: produced during breastfeeding to facilitate bonding of mother and infant.
Prolactin: promotes lactation.
Prostaglandins: anti-inflammatory.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): boosts energy and helps with recovery from stress.
Urokinase inhibiting factor and factor XIII: stops bleeding and enhances wound healing.

In addition to these incredible hormones, the placenta is also responsible for providing the exchange of blood through mother and baby. In pregnancy, your blood volume increases by approximately thirty percent. Once your little one arrives, this is no longer the case and as you enter the postpartum period there is the drop in hormones and iron.

What is the process for placenta encapsulation?

We strive to provide you and your placenta with the utmost care with processing the placenta in a dedicated space. We begin the process with inspecting and gently rinsing the placenta. Following the inspection, we process the placenta utilizing the Traditional Chinese Method which focuses on steaming the placenta with herbs and oils. We focus on using lemon oil as its benefits include healing properties to reduce fatigue and inflammation. Once the placenta is steamed, it will go into the dehydrator; this is the longest part of the process until it is ready to be blended into powder and compounded into your capsules.

How long does it take?

The Placenta Encapsulation process takes approximately 48-72 hours after the placenta has been received. We ensure the safest protocols including processing one placenta at a time. We then send you your capsules, suggested dose and usage guide, any additional add-ons and a dehydrated cord keepsake to your home. Placenta tinctures do take a bit longer to process and will be sent to you about 6-8 weeks after you have delivered.

What Families Say

"I LOVED working w Abby for my placenta encapsulation. To be honest I wasn’t sure if encapsulating my placenta was for me, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to do some research and move forward with encapsulating it just in case. And I’m SO happy I went in that direction. I didn’t take it until 10 days PP, (1) bc I just forgot lol (2) I wasn’t sure what to expect. When I reached out to Abby for reassurance that’s…" Read more reviews
