Placenta Benefits

Help your body recover naturally. Placenta consumption can help you avoid the baby blues and help your body naturally recover from childbirth.

80% of all women experience some sort of postpartum mood disorder after giving birth.

The most common type of postpartum is referred to as the “baby blues”. Symptoms include weepiness, sadness & anxiety and these negative emotions can last for several weeks of the new baby’s life. The placenta is rich in the hormones that allowed the pregnancy to thrive. Consuming your placenta after birth replenishes these much-needed hormones and helps to alleviate the negative thoughts and feelings.

Iron

The placenta postpartum is rich in iron, it is estimated that up to 50% of US citizens have some form of anemia (low iron). Replenishing so much blood after birth is a large task to take on. Having low iron often results in lower hormone levels, fatigue, lack of concentration, and depressive symptoms. In studies, women with postpartum depression given iron supplements improved greatly.

Lactation

In a study where women were given placenta to consume, 86% reported increased milk production within four days. Research is still being done to completely narrow down exactly which hormones react with human milk supply to give it a boost.

Hormone Stabilization

Hormone fluctuations looked at in direct research with postpartum depression have shown that the placenta contains hormones that assist in treating and preventing this disorder. During pregnancy, the placenta produces stress-fighting hormones. Once the placenta is no longer present, it can take months for the brain and body to level out the hormones. During this time, instability can cause depressive symptoms. By ingesting the placenta after birth, the mother is reintroducing these vital hormones to her body, until her brain signals its own production and can level out on its own.

  • Oxytocin – The feel-good hormone associated with love, bonding, and pain relief, promoting happiness and elation.
  • Cortisone – Unlocks energy in the body and combats stress.
  • Interferon – Stimulates the immune system to fight off infections while the mother is recovering from birth.
  • Prostaglandins – Acts as an anti-inflammatory.
  • Hemoglobin – Replenishes iron and stimulates iron production in blood.
  • Urokinase – Inhibits excessive bleeding and promotes faster healing.
  • Prolactin – Stimulates healthy mammary functions and milk production.

Pain Relief

Research has shown that ingesting placenta increases the effectiveness of opioids (i.e.: Tylenol). The mother would need to take much less pain medication to reach the same desired pain management. This leads to fewer pharmaceutical side effects and improved maternal responsiveness.
