Placenta Capsules

The placenta contains stem cells, 17 hormones, growth factors, iron, protein, trace minerals, the vitamin B complex, vitamins A, D, K, amino acids, essential fats and more. 

After birth a mummy typically loses a huge amount of these hormones and nutrients, which are essential for the body to be restored naturally.

Placenta capsules can help support and assist the body to repair, heal and replenish after birth and throughout the postnatal recovery.

Evidence shows that placenta capsules may provide;

• Increase in breast milk and maintain a healthy milk supply
• Reduce and prevent baby blues and post-natal depression
• Increase iron levels and prevent anaemia
• Reduce the risk of postpartum haemorrhage
• Reduce post-natal bleeding time
• Replace essential vitamins, nutrients and hormones
• Help the uterus return to pre-pregnancy size
• Improve bonding with baby
• Significantly boost energy levels

Important nutrients and hormones found in rich supply in the placenta include:

• Placental Growth Factors - Regulate vascular function
• Iron - Essential for oxygen absorption in the cells
• Vitamins B6 - Aid in the production of antibodies
• Vitamin E - For healing damaged skin cells
• Oxytocin Hormone - Essential for facilitating birth and breastfeeding
• Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH) - Responsible for reducing stress levels
• Cytokines - Fibroblasts that trigger cell metabolism, healing and replacing damaged cells and tissue
• Cortisol - thought to keep the mother alert and may play a role in the attachment process
