Here you will find information to help you decide which options may feel like the right fit for you. Note: Placenta providers offer different options and methods of processing. The services offered and methods of processing used are what Nikole believes to be the safest for her clients based on research, food safety guidelines, and OSHA standards. Please reach out with any and all questions.

Placenta Capsules

Placenta capsules are most often used during the initial postpartum period and can be used for years to come. With proper handling, storage, and processing the capsules will not spoil. Like other supplements, capsules will begin to degrade over long lengths of time and lose potency. In short, the placenta is prepared by rinsing, heating, dehydrating, then grinding into powder to be placed into capsules. Capsules are vegetarian based with no preservatives, additives, gluten, or GMO materials, they are Kosher and Halal certified. Average yield is 100-175 capsules.

Placenta Tincture

Placenta Tinctures are created using a small piece of raw placenta, about a tablespoon size, that is macerated in vodka. It’s said that the tincture has many of the same benefits of the capsules with an indefinite shelf life that does not lose potency over time. This is a great option to have on hand when your capsules are finished. Most clients use the tincture for hormonal imbalance, PMS symptoms, milk supply drops, migraines, menopause, sleep issues, during times of illness and stress, and so much more. Other types of alcohol for specific diets or potato vodka for gluten allergies are also available.

Frozen Smoothie Cubes

Frozen Smoothie Cubes are created by blending and freezing individual portions of raw placenta to be added to smoothies during the initial postpartum period. Cubes are approximately one ounce and are individually wrapped in unbleached parchment paper, then bagged individually, and placed in a glass container for storage in freezer. Blending prior to freezing helps to create a smooth texture in the final smoothie mixture for consumption. This option is available as an add-on or stand alone service.

Art Prints

Art Prints are created using the blood on the surface of the placenta. They are created on high quality acid free watercolor paper or other surfaces as desired. At least one side of each the maternal and fetal side are made unless other options are requested. The fetal side of the placenta shows the “tree of life” that helped to grow your precious new baby (or babies!). You may view some prints here. Note: It’s recommended that inks of any kind not be used on any placenta that is intended to be consumed. Even natural dyes, like turmeric which is a very strong antibacterial and antiviral herb, can alter the ingredients

of the placenta.

Flavored Capsules

Wild Berry, coffee, mint and grape flavored capsules are available upon request. This can be a good option for those worried about any potential taste or smell. They are made from pharmaceutical grade gelatin which is BSE free and gluten free, and also kosher and halal certified. Note : these are not vegetarian capsules.

Keepsake Jewelry

Custom jewelry can be created with a tiny amount of your placenta powder. We will work together to design and create your custom piece together. Necklaces, bracelets, and key-chains are a few of the possibilities. Options for both females and males available. Approximately one capsule is mixed with quality resin to preserve and create these one-of-kind pieces. This service is available included in a placenta services package or as a stand alone service. Sample photos available here.

Other Mementos

The umbilical cord, if left intact, can be dehydrated and made into a heart shaped keepsake. Other shapes, letters, or words are possible pending size and condition of the cord. Samples can be seen on our Instagram page, like this one here.
Many clients ask for photos to be taken before processing begins so they can see the organ that made your new little miracle possible.
Some clients have requested to save a small portion of the placenta to plant under a tree or honor in another way.
Please ask about any special requests!
