— A Process That Works —

The Process

You know the old saying, ‘It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it’? In some industries it’s not what you do, it’s how you do it. We want to treat each placenta like it’s our very own. That’s why we are very careful to only process one placenta encapsulation for placenta pills, at a time.

Every placenta thoroughly washed and rinsed
Ambilical cord removed for keepsake
Placenta is seperated
Placenta is steamed with or without herbs
Placenta is dried in a food grade dehydrator
The placenta is ground for placenta pills
