Peace of Mommy Encapsulation
About Placenta Encapsulation: Placentophagy
Placenta Encapsulation Benefits:
Scientific based evidence suggests benefits such as increased energy, balanced mood and hormones, improved milk supply, reduced risk of baby blues and postpartum depression (PPD), and a faster postpartum recovery.
Mothers who chose Peace of Mommy Encapsulation have reported experiencing a variety of benefits, such as:
More Energy
Thyroid stimulating Hormone - boosts energy and aids in recovery of stressful events.
Cortisol - releases energy stores and helps with stress.

Replenishes Iron
Hemoglobin - replenishes iron deficiencies and anemia
The Placenta also contains Iron - essential for absorption of oxygen in the cells needed for repair.

Promotes Lactation
Prolactin - promotes lactation.
Oxytocin - This hormone is produced during breastfeeding to promote healthy bonding between mother and baby.

Shrinks Uterus back to normal
Oxytocin - helps uterus shrink back to its normal size, for pain relief and baby bonding.
Prostaglandins - anti-inflammatory.

Faster Recovery
Cortisol - releases energy stores and helps with stress.
Placenta Stem Cells - provides new cells for regeneration of tissue, using growth factors they enhance their ability to multiply much faster.

Weight Loss
Consuming your placenta could potentially help regulate hormonal imbalances associated with postpartum weight retention.
Contains Prostaglandins - anti-inflammatory.

Balances Hormones
Consuming the placenta replenishes estrogen and progesterone, contributing to the stabilization of postpartum mood and hormones levels.

Combats PPD & Baby Blues
Growth factors - in the form of cytokines & hormones, stimulate cellular growth. They have anti-inflammatory properties, aid blood circulation, wound tissue healing and has an analgesic effect.
Vitamin B6 - promotes the production of red blood cells, aids in normal functioning of the brain. Helps in the making of antibodies, keeping the immune system strong.

17 hormones found in human placenta processed for encapsulation.
Placental tissue contains various hormones, including oxytocin, estrogens, progesterone, human placental lactogen, ACTH and CRH. These hormones were detected both in raw placenta and in the dehydrated powder [28,29]. ...
... The content of various hormones in the placental tissue has been demonstrated both before and after production of the powder [28,29]. Based on knowledge so far, it must be assumed that proteolysis takes place in the gastrointestinal tract.
Consuming your placenta passes no harm to your baby
The largest study of its kind found mothers who consumed their placenta passed on no harm to their newborn babies when compared to infants of mothers who did not consume their placenta. The study also found that women who reported a history of anxiety or depression were more likely to consume their placentas, and that the most common reason for choosing the practice was to prevent postpartum depression.
Placenta is safe from toxic elements
Preliminary research results were presented at the placenta lab meeting and were discussed by the team of scientists, obstetricians and gynecologists. They discovered that Placental tissue is a natural source of hormones, iron and protein. The exact properties of placental tissue composition vary wide in each individual placenta. Ingesting placental hormones may have a physiologic effect in the postpartum period but no conclusion about the bioactivity of these hormones can be made. The risk of food poisoning or intoxication from consuming processed placental tissue is low.
THE EFFECT OF THE MATERNAL INGESTION OF PLACENTA UPON THE RATE OF GROWTH OF BREAST-FED INFANTS
In a study where women were given placenta to consume, 86% reported increased milk production within 4 days. Mothers who have experienced Toxemia or preeclampsia during pregnancy may find that their milk is slow to come in. Consuming placenta directly after birth has shown in many cases to help this. “All patients were given desiccated placenta prepared as previously described (C.A. II, 2492) in doses of 10 grains in a capsule 3 times a day. Only those mothers were chosen for the study whose parturition was normal and only the weights of those infants were recorded whose soul source of nourishment was mothers milk. The growth of 177 infants was studied. The rate of growth is increased by the ingestion of placenta by the mother… the maternal ingestion of dried placenta tissue so stimulates the tissues of the infants feeding on the milk produced during this time, that unit weight is able to add on greater increments of matter, from day to day, than can unit weight of infants feeding on milk from mothers not ingesting this substance.” Hammett, Frederick. S. 1918. The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 36. American Society of Biological Chemists, Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, original press: Harvard University.
Postpartum Depression Corticotropin releasing hormone, or CRH.
When we are under stress, a part of the brain called the hypothalamus secretes corticotropinreleasing hormone, or CRH. Its secretion triggers a cascade of hormones that ultimately increases the amount of another hormone called cortisol in the blood. Cortisol raises blood sugar levels and maintains normal blood pressure, which helps us perform well under stress. During the last trimester of pregnancy, the placenta secretes a lot of CRH. The rise is so dramatic that CRH levels in the maternal bloodstream increase. George Chrousos, the endocrinologist who led the NIH study, "we think it helps women go through the stress of pregnancy, labor, and delivery." But what happens after birth, when the placenta is gone? Chrousos and his colleagues monitored CRH levels in 17, women from the last trimester to a year after they gave birth. All the women had low levels of CRH as low as seen in some forms of depression in the six weeks following birth. The seven women with the lowest levels felt depressed. Chrousos suspects that CRH levels are temporarily low in new mothers because CRH from the placenta disrupts the feedback system that regulates normal production of the hormone. During pregnancy, when CRH levels are high in the bloodstream, the hypothalamus releases less CRH. After birth, however, when this supplementary source of CRH is gone, it takes a while for the hypothalamus to get the signal that it needs to start making more CRH. The placenta helps speed up the production of this hormone.
Pain Relief & POEF, Placental OpioidEnhancing Factor
Research has shown that ingesting placenta increases the effectiveness of opioids. Themother would need to take much less pain medication to reach the same desired pain management. The women would experience less pharmacological side effects and better maternal responsiveness. This benefit of consuming placenta can be especially helpful for csection mothers, mothers with episiotomy or severe tears and postpartum for prolapsed uterus or cervix.“The most general benefit of placentophagy, according to recent research, is that placenta and amniotic fluid contain a molecule (POEF, Placental OpioidEnhancing Factor) that modifies the activity of endogenous opioids in such a way that produces an enhancement of the natural reduction in pain that occurs shortly after and during delivery.”Mark B. Kristal, "Enhancement of OpioidMediated Analgesia: A Solution to the Enigma of Placentophagia", Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews 15: 425–435
