What’s Inside Placenta Capsules?
🔍 In 2016, researchers analyzed 28 encapsulated placentas. They found:
• Iron: About ¼ of the recommended daily intake for breastfeeding moms — equal to 3 oz of chicken liver or sardines.
• Other minerals: Present in modest amounts, but not high enough to make a big impact.
• Hormones: 15 detectable hormones, including progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, and testosterone — but in relatively low levels.
✅ No toxic or harmful levels of any element were found.

Calling all dads! Join us for our free online Dads Support Group!

Our online groups are here to help you connect with other dads who have newborns up to toddlers. Our groups allow you to talk and listen to other dads as they process their experiences. Whether you are going through stress, feeling overwhelmed as you adjust to parenting, or trying to figure out how best to support your partner, our groups are here for you. You will learn about helpful tools/resources and realize you are not alone. We do not allow group observation by students or professionals. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
