Frequently Asked Questions
When should I reserve placenta encapsulation services?
It is recommended to reserve your spot during pregnancy to ensure availability around your due date. A deposit secures your place and allows preparation to begin quickly after your baby is born.
How should the placenta be stored after birth?
After delivery, the placenta should be placed in a clean container and kept refrigerated as soon as possible. Detailed storage instructions will be provided once your service is reserved.
How soon will I receive my capsules?
Capsules are typically completed and returned within 2–3 days after the placenta is received.
How many capsules will I receive?
The number of capsules varies depending on the size of the placenta, but most parents receive approximately 75–150 capsules.
Can placenta encapsulation be done after a C-section?
Yes. As long as the placenta is healthy and properly stored after birth, encapsulation can typically be performed following either a vaginal birth or cesarean birth.
Who can consume the capsules?
Placenta capsules are intended only for the birthing parent and should not be shared.
