Placenta Encapsulation Services
Our placenta encapsulation specialist will process your baby's placenta and encapsulate it into placenta pills. Anecdotal evidence sugests that ingesting placenta pills can help lower incidents of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety and may prevent iron deficiency. Some people also report improved sleep with the use of placenta pills.
