How Placenta Encapsulation Works

How Placenta Encapsulation Works

While details may vary by provider, Pluscenta's placenta encapsulation follows a series of structured steps from birth to delivery of the capsules.

Step 1: Placenta Collection
After birth, the placenta is collected at the hospital or birth center according to the provider’s instructions. The placenta is typically placed in a sealed container and stored under recommended temperature conditions until transport.

Step 2: Transport and Intake
The placenta is transported to the processing location via shipping using temperature controlled packaging. Intake procedures often include verification and labeling.

Step 3: Processing
The placenta is prepared in a designated processing environment. This usually includes insepction, decontamination, heat-treatment, dehydration at controlled temperatures, and grinding into a powder. The powder is then placed into capsules.

Processing methods can vary, and mothers may wish to ask providers how and where this step takes place.

Step 4: Packaging and Delivery
Once encapsulation is complete, the capsules are packaged and returned to the mother. Turnaround times vary by provider and logistics.

Pluscenta follows a collection to lab process with tracked logistics and standardized handling, designed to make the service accessible to mothers across all 50 states.

Understanding how placenta encapsulation works can help mothers feel informed and confident when evaluating whether the service aligns with their postpartum plans.
