Question 1

Is placenta encapsulation safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes – when done properly. I follow OSHA and food safety standards, use sanitized equipment, and process one placenta at a time in a sterile environment.

Question 2

What if I have a cesarean or complicated birth?

Accepted Answer

Encapsulation is still possible after most births, including cesareans. Let me know your situation and we’ll plan accordingly.

Question 3

How should I store my placenta until pickup?

Accepted Answer

Keep it on ice or refrigerated as soon as possible after birth. Hospitals ask that you bring a cooler or a disposable cooler bag. Most hospitals will provide ice when needed.

Question 4

Can I encapsulate if I had an epidural or Pitocin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. These medications do not affect the ability to encapsulate your placenta.

Question 5

How many capsules will I get?

Accepted Answer

Typically, between 100–200 capsules, depending on the size of your placenta and the method chosen.

Question 6

When should I not encapsulate my placenta?

Accepted Answer

While placenta encapsulation is safe in many situations, there are a few cases where it’s not recommended due to potential health risks or contamination concerns.
You should not encapsulate your placenta if:
 • You received Magnesium Sulfate (IV) during labor
 • You had a uterine or placental infection
 • It was not stored properly
 • You or your baby had a blood borne illness that could pose a contamination risk
