While human research is limited (but growing!), there are a great deal of animal studies clarifying the benefits of desiccated placenta consumption. The placenta is rich in nutrients, minerals, and hormonal factors that may enhance your recovery from childbirth and ease your postpartum transition. Most mammals continue this practice intuitively. It has also been recorded in human culture for centuries. Many choose to encapsulate their placenta for support in milk production from the Placental Lactogens. Others choose it for potential stress and pain relief from Cortisones, Prostaglandins, and Placental Opioid Enhancing Factors. Interferon may support the immune system while Iron replenishment is said to aid with recovery, energy, and handling sleep deprivation and moods. While larger studies are in process in regards to human placental encapsulation benefits, the safety of a properly prepared placenta is clear. Dosage suggestions are made individually in regards to your specific health history and with IBCLC lactation specialist recommendations. Please reach out if you have further questions.

Encapsulations

After processing your placenta with a light steam and a slow dehydration, it is ground into a fine powder. This powder is placed into small gel capsules. Each placenta is a different size and yields a different amount of pills, but on average you receive 150-200 pills. Dosage guidelines are outlined in regards to your individual pregnancy and birthing history.

Tincture

Many people desire to use their placenta preparations when their menstrual cycle returns. A small portion of the placenta is set aside and preserved in an alcohol base tincture, preserving the placenta for longer-term storage.

By entering my name below, I understand and acknowledge that there is limited research in regards to placenta encapsulation and consumption. I also understand that my encapsulated placenta is not intended to prevent or treat any physical or mental diseases, ailments or symptoms and that I am choosing to consume my placenta for my own personal beliefs, whether it be spiritual or cultural. I understand that my placenta has been handled and encapsulated according to OHSA and Food Safety and Handling standards, and has been cleaned, cooked, dehydrated and put into pill form in a sanitary and sterile work space. Upon receiving my placenta capsules, I waive any and all rights to hold Soft Corner Midwifery or its affiliates responsible for any undesired effect of consuming the capsules. I put full trust and acknowledgement that it is being handled in a sanitary and safe environment. I understand that upon receiving the pills, Soft Corner Midwifery and its affiliates are no longer liable, including but not limited to any other person(s) ingesting my own placenta capsules. I am aware that Soft Corner Midwifery takes great effort to pick-up and return placenta preparations in a 48-72hr window. I am aware that unforeseen incidents may arise delaying their return. In the event my placenta is sent to pathology, I am aware it will no longer be safe for consumption. In the event my provider or placenta specialist deems my placenta unsafe for consumption, I will receive a full refund. I am aware Soft Corner Midwifery Placenta Preparations offers an alternative Herbal Postpartum Blend for $60 for those who may not consume their placenta, yet still seek supplemental support. I am aware that payment is due in full at the time of placenta pick-up. Payments may be made in cash, check, or credit. By entering my full name below, I acknowledge and agree to the above statement.

Thank you!
