The placenta has power!

Placenta, Encapsulation, Tinctures, & Powder

Placenta encapsulation is the process of dehydrating the placenta, crushing it into powder form, and encapsulating it in gel capsules for consumption. In Western Culture, placenta consumption is not considered a popular practice, however, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners have been implementing this practice for centuries. The placenta is the only organ that the human body creates with a single purpose, and then releases when it is no longer of use.
