The short version
Placenta encapsulation is the process of turning your placenta into capsules you can take after birth. After delivery, the placenta is decontaminated, steamed, dehydrated, ground into a fine powder, and sealed into easy-to-take capsules. Mothers most often take them to support postpartum recovery.
It's the most popular way mothers choose to consume their placenta because it's the most convenient. The one thing that varies most between providers is where and how it's done. Pluscenta processes every placenta in a certified lab using a standardized, multi-step method with medical-grade disinfection and cold-chain shipping — not in a home kitchen — so the result is clean and consistent.
There's no single reason mothers encapsulate — but a few come up again and again. Here's what most families are looking for:
Placenta encapsulation isn't a single step — it's a short chain of steps from your delivery room to capsules in your hand. With Pluscenta it looks like this:
Pluscenta uses one method — our Advanced Processing Method — for every order. Here's exactly what it involves and what you receive.
| Advanced Processing Method | |
|---|---|
| How it's prepared | Drawn from Traditional Chinese Medicine, your placenta goes through 7 steps of processing — including decontamination, steaming, dehydration, grinding into a fine powder, and encapsulation. |
| Add-ons | Purified rice vinegar and organic ginger powder. |
| Number of capsules | Around 100 capsules on average — the exact count varies with the size of your placenta. |
| Final form | Capsules made with vegan HPMC plant-based shells and natural coloring. |
Because every step happens in a certified lab, the process is standardized from one order to the next — the only natural variation is the number of capsules, which depends on the size of your placenta.
Placenta encapsulation is the process of turning your placenta into capsules you can take after birth. After delivery, the placenta is decontaminated, steamed, dehydrated, ground into a fine powder, and sealed into capsules — most often taken to support postpartum recovery. At Pluscenta, every placenta is processed in a certified lab using a standardized multi-step method with medical-grade disinfection and cold-chain shipping, not in a home kitchen.
Mothers most commonly take placenta capsules to support their body during the postpartum period — the weeks after birth when energy, mood, and hormone levels are adjusting. Pluscenta does not make medical claims; we make it safe, simple, and convenient to encapsulate if you choose to.
The capsules are made primarily from your own placenta, processed through Pluscenta's multi-step method. During preparation we use small, well-established add-ons — purified rice vinegar and organic ginger powder — and the powder is sealed into vegan HPMC (plant-based) capsule shells with natural coloring. Because it's your own tissue, no two batches are exactly alike.
Most mothers receive around 100 capsules. The exact number varies because it depends on the size of your placenta — a larger placenta yields more powder and therefore more capsules.
No. While some services process the placenta in a home or kitchen setting, Pluscenta is a lab-based service. You collect your placenta after birth, ship it overnight in a cold-chain kit, and our certified lab handles the decontamination, steaming, dehydration, grinding, and encapsulation — then ships your capsules back to you. It works in all 50 states.
