Placenta Encapsulation Made Safe - Pluscenta
Pluscenta is a modern New York City-based placenta encapsulation service. We turn your placenta into pills using the highest medical-grade technology. Our mission is to help new moms combat postpartum depression, optimize lactation, recover and rejuvenate.
Why encapsulation?
The placenta is an endocrine organ, a thin sheet of tissue super-rich in hormones that have been protecting your baby and providing nutrients during your pregnancy. Your placenta begins producing hormones at 6-8 weeks of gestation to help sustain a pregnancy. These hormonal levels continually increase, and by the third trimester, there is 3x the normal level of hormones. Unfortunately, 5 days postpartum, these levels plummet to well below normal. This is when mothers commonly experience the 'baby blues.
A growing body of scientific research shows that mothers who consume their placenta report increased energy and diminished postpartum depression. "We surveyed 189 females who had ingested their placenta and found the majority of these women reported perceived positive benefits and indicated they would engage in placentophagy again after subsequent births." - Science Direct
We are lab-based
Pluscenta offers a service like no other.
We invested in a state-of-the-art lab used exclusively for placenta encapsulation, which means we do not operate from domestic premises. Our lab uses the same sterilization process as leading biotech research labs, ensuring that we provide the safest standard of service at all times.
We are committed
Our mission is to build an inspiring and trustworthy community for all moms, assisting them to take early actions toward postpartum recovery. We are determined to reinvent the placenta encapsulation industry by bringing a safe modern solution to this long-established practice.
