PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION SERVICES
Placenta consumption as a means for elevating recovery during the postpartum period is becoming more and more popular as people learn of the benefits. Through the process of dehydrating the placenta post birth and then crushing it into powder form, it is placed into gel capsules for palatable consumption. The anecdotal evidence is overwhelming and so many of our clients swear by it!
