Your Benefits
Placenta encapsulation offers a multitude of benefits, tailored to help you transition into motherhood with ease, wellbeing, and positivity. Our mission is to help you heal and strengthen your body, post-birth. Here’s how placenta encapsulation can support your journey
Energy and Mood Improvement
Your placenta is rich in Vitamin B6 and iron, which are vital for energy production and mood regulation. Ingesting your placenta has been shown to improve your overall well-being, energy levels, and mood during the postpartum period.
Reduced Postpartum Hair Loss
The hormonal shifts post-birth can sometimes lead to hair loss. The nutrient-rich placenta capsules can help mitigate this, promoting healthier hair during the postpartum period.
Natural Pain Relief
The encapsulated placenta contains oxytocin, a natural hormone that helps reduce postpartum discomfort and promotes healing.
Healing Balm
Beyond the capsules, the placenta can be transformed into a soothing balm. Ideal for nappy and teething rashes, it contains no nasty extras, capitalizing on the natural healing properties of your placenta.
Anemia Prevention
Your placenta is high in iron, a crucial mineral that aids in preventing anemia after childbirth.
Keepsakes
As part of this unique journey, you can also opt to make keepsakes from your placenta, like prints. A tangible memento to remind you of the miraculous journey of birth.

Frequently Asked Questions – The Placenta Co
What does it mean to have your placenta encapsulated?
Placenta encapsulation is a popular practice where the placenta, following childbirth, undergoes a meticulous process to convert it into a powdered form. This powder is then encapsulated into convenient and ingestible capsules, often referred to as placenta capsules, placenta tablets or placenta pills. By encapsulating the placenta, individuals have the opportunity to consume their own placenta to potentially experience various benefits during the postpartum period. The Placenta Co, based in Sydney, specialises in the encapsulation of placentas, employing stringent safety protocols and adhering to strict hygiene standards throughout the entire process.
Why would I want to encapsulate my placenta?
There are several reasons why you might consider encapsulating your placenta. Firstly, your placenta is a remarkable organ that played a vital role in nourishing and supporting your baby during pregnancy. It acted as a filter, ensuring that essential nutrients reached your baby while filtering out waste products. By encapsulating your placenta, you have the opportunity to harness the potential benefits it may offer during the postpartum period.
One significant benefit reported by some individuals is the potential hormonal support provided by consuming placenta capsules. During pregnancy, your placenta played a key role in regulating hormones. By taking placenta pills, you may support your body’s hormonal transition after childbirth and potentially experience more balanced hormone levels. This can be particularly beneficial during the initial weeks postpartum when hormonal fluctuations are common.
Encapsulating your placenta is an investment in your postpartum emotional and physical well-being. It is a personal choice that allows you to explore the potential benefits that many individuals have found valuable. If you’re considering placenta encapsulation, The Placenta Co in Sydney specialises in encapsulating placentas and follows strict protocols to ensure the safety and quality of the encapsulation process.
Can I still encapsulate my placenta if I have had a Caesarean Section birth?
Absolutely! Placenta encapsulation can be a valuable option for individuals who have had a Caesarean Section birth. In fact, it may offer specific benefits that can aid in your recovery from the surgery and support your hormonal transition.
After a Caesarean Section, there is typically a higher amount of blood loss compared to a vaginal birth. Consuming placenta capsules may provide essential nutrients and support your body’s healing process during this recovery phase.
Furthermore, hormonal changes after a Caesarean birth can sometimes differ from those after a vaginal birth. By encapsulating your placenta, you have the opportunity to potentially support hormonal balance during the postpartum period, which can be particularly beneficial if breastfeeding establishment and production are delayed.
At The Placenta Co, we are experienced in encapsulating placentas from various birth experiences, including Caesarean Section births. We prioritise your safety and well-being throughout the encapsulation process, ensuring that strict hygiene and safety measures are followed.
Can I still encapsulate my placenta if I have had a Premature Birth?
Yes, it is possible to encapsulate your placenta even if you have had a premature birth. The Placenta Co offers encapsulation services starting from 30 weeks gestation, ensuring that individuals who have delivered prematurely can still benefit from placenta encapsulation.
Premature birth presents unique circumstances, and the decision to encapsulate the placenta should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider. It is important to consider any specific medical considerations or conditions related to premature birth.
Placenta encapsulation can provide potential benefits during the postpartum period, such as hormone regulation and overall support for your recovery. If you are interested in encapsulating your placenta after a premature birth, we recommend discussing your options with your healthcare provider and reaching out to The Placenta Co for personalised guidance and assistance tailored to your specific situation.
What equipment do you use? Is it disposable, and if not, how is it stored and cleaned?
At The Placenta Co, we prioritise safety and hygiene throughout the placenta encapsulation process. We utilise a combination of disposable and non-disposable equipment to ensure the highest standards of cleanliness.
Disposable items, such as personal protective equipment and single-use dye palettes, are used whenever possible to minimise the risk of cross-contamination.
For non-disposable equipment, including the dehydrator, grinder, and steaming pot, we take meticulous and certified measures to maintain cleanliness. These items are lined with disposable, single-use liners to create a barrier between the equipment and the placenta during processing. After each use, the non-disposable equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitised using hospital-grade cleaners and supplies. We follow strict protocols for safe food handling and bloodborne pathogen control to ensure the equipment is properly sterilised and ready for subsequent use.
Our commitment to maintaining a clean and sanitary environment is integral to the quality and safety of our placenta encapsulation services.
How often do you take placenta capsules?
The frequency of taking placenta tablets can vary depending on individual preferences and recommendations from specialists. At The Placenta Co, we generally advise our clients to take 1-2 capsules, three times a day until the entire supply is completed.
It’s important to note that the dosage and duration of consumption may be influenced by factors such as the size of the capsules and individual needs. We always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider or a qualified specialist to determine the optimal dosage and duration of placenta capsule intake that aligns with your specific postpartum needs and goals.
Can I contact you after I have started taking my placenta capsules if I have a question about my capsules or postpartum?
Absolutely! We understand that you may have questions or require additional support during your postpartum journey. At The Placenta Co, we are dedicated to providing ongoing assistance to our clients.
You can reach out to us through multiple channels. Our on-call phone is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ensuring that you have access to immediate support and guidance. Additionally, you can contact us via text, email, or through our social media platforms.
Whether you have inquiries about your capsules, need postpartum advice, or have concerns regarding feeding, our knowledgeable team is here to provide the information and support you need. We strive to be responsive and attentive to ensure that you have a positive and fulfilling experience throughout your postpartum journey.
Can I encapsulate if I'm banking cord blood or delaying cord clamping?
Yes, encapsulation remains effective. Just ensure cord banking is done before The Placenta Co. collects the placenta.
Is encapsulation safe after having an epidural, syntocinon, or other medications during labor?
Yes. Most pain relief medications have short active durations. The residue left in the placenta after epidurals or syntocinon is minimal. Many mothers have successfully encapsulated after these treatments without issues.
When is placenta consumption not recommended?
Placenta consumption is not recommended in the following circumstances:
- If there’s an infection or fever during birth.
- If the placenta is suspected of infection and sent to pathology.
- After a Lotus birth as the placenta remains attached to the baby for 5-15 days.
- With uterine infections or chorioamnionitis.
- If illegal substances or certain tobacco products are used during pregnancy.
- In cases of placental cancer (Choriocarcinoma).
- If you have a blood-borne virus like hepatitis B, C, or HIV.
- If on certain non-pregnancy prescription medicines, consult your doctor.
Can I encapsulate a previously frozen placenta?
If the placenta was stored and frozen correctly within 48 hours of birth, it’s safe for encapsulation up to 6 months post birth. After 6 months, it can be powdered for garden use.
