Have a Happy Postpartum Period
Over 5 years of encapsulating placentas and over 200 people served, from our separate, dedicated placenta kitchen in Centerville, Utah.
Utah Placenta Encapsulation is Utah’s premier encapsulation specialist. Helping birthing people to have a happy postpartum period.
Depending on the size of the placenta and the method used for encapsulation, you can expect to get 80-200+ pills that you can take as long as you need during your postpartum period!
Our Placenta Encapsulation Methods
The Raw Method
- Consists of thoroughly cleaning your placenta, delicately slicing it into thin pieces, dehydrating it, gently grinding it up, and carefully placing into capsules.
- The Raw Method has been said to be more potent than the Traditional Chinese Method.
- The Raw Method tends to yield more pills than the Traditional Chinese Method.
- Pills from the Raw Method will only last one year in the freezer.
Traditional Chinese Method (TCM)
- Consists of thoroughly cleaning your placenta, steaming it, delicately slicing it into thin pieces, dehydrating it at 160°, gently grinding it up, and carefully placing into capsules.
- We do NOT use any herbs in our steaming process.
- The water from the steaming process can be consumed and is referred to as Mother’s Broth.
“TCM is all about creating a balance in the body, and different conditions are considered “hot” or “cold”. For example, a cold can produce a fever, which is an excess of heat. Therefore, the treatment would be something that has a cooling effect on the body. But in TCM, postnatal [people] are considered to have an excess of cold in the body. In China, postpartum [people] are discouraged from eating cold food or drinks, or even from taking a shower lest it create an additional chill. They are only given warm foods and foods that have a warming effect on their system, for at least the first 30-40 days postpartum.
Raw placenta will have a cooling effect on the system, throwing the body even further out of balance. Prepared or cooked placenta (steamed is preferable, as steaming is the most gentle way to cook something and retain the most nutrients in the food) is the most preferable way of ingesting placenta for postpartum people. It will have a warming effect on the system, bringing the body more quickly into balance.”

Placenta art is an amazing keepsake for parents. Some parents like to have a colorful rendering of the placenta to commemorate the special connection between the birther and baby in the womb. A great gift for surrogates!

“Excellent Quality”
“Love them!!! Quick responses to emails (and I sent a lot through out my pregnancy), fast turn around with product, and quality!!! I just loved all my product. I used my pills as needed when I noticed I was getting emotional often and they helped keep me feeling up. And I could just rave about my Healing Salve. My baby is pretty chunky and had some red/rawness way up under her chin. After using the salve for just 1 day it’s almost completely gone! I recommend Utah Placental Encapsulation to everyone!”

“Fast Service”
“I had my placenta encapsulated and It was given to me really quickly.. I think it was 2 days after I gave birth. I believed it helped me with my milk supply .. thankfully I still have some pills left so I take them when I feel I need an extra boost. Karina was very attentive and kept checking with me afterwards to see how we were doing.. she is the best!”
