We use the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) method. This means we steam our placentas at 220 degrees for 30 min to kill any possible bacteria or viruses. Then it is dehydrated, crushed into a powder, and put into capsules.
Yes, this is true. However, there is no research that exists, YET, to let us know just how much it loses. The placenta is a powerful and potent organ and all the mothers still rave about its effects and still feel the power of the placenta.
Mommy Made Encapsulation performs each encapsulation in a purpose-built unit. All of our non-disposable supplies and equipment, along with the workspace is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized/sterilized before and after each encapsulation. We are compliant with the local health department’s requirements for safe food handling preparation. Each encapsulation specialist is fully qualified in food hygiene and infection control. We comply with the OSHA, FDA and EPA guidelines.
Caring for your placenta is our top priority. We meticulously label your placenta and continuously track it through the encapsulation process until UPS Healthcare delivers your order. Only 1 placenta per lab is processed at a time to eliminate any possible cross contamination. For extra reassurance, we have 2 video recording options you can purchase so you can watch your placenta go through each step of the encapsulation process.

From my experience, twin placentas still fits inside one of my Placenta Collection Kits. You can send both placentas inside 1 kit, pay nothing extra, and I will encapsulate them together!
Testing positive for GBS does not mean that you can’t encapsulate your placenta. It is still safe for you to encapsulate your placenta and here is why: Mommy Made Encapsulation only offers the Traditional Chinese Medicine method when preparing the placenta. This method involves steaming the placenta to 220 degrees F for 30 minutes, followed by dehydrating the placenta. Any potential bacteria (including GBS) is killed during the steaming process as bacteria and viruses cannot survive at temperatures higher than 131 degrees F. Mommy Made Encapsulation has encapsulated for thousands of women who have tested positive for GBS.
It is still safe to encapsulate your placenta if there is Meconium on the placenta. The bacteria in meconium is from your own body. We thoroughly wash the placenta and then we steam the placenta at 220 degrees F for 30 minutes to kill any bacteria or viruses present. Bacteria and viruses cannot survive at temperatures higher than 131 degrees F. Mommy Made Encapsulation has encapsulated for thousands of women that had meconium on their placenta.
It is still safe to encapsulate your placenta.
Although the placenta is known as the “filter organ,” the title that would actually be more fitting is “facilitator organ.” The placenta acts a facilitator, making sure all of the good stuff gets to the baby, and all of the toxins and waste gets disposed of by putting it back into the mother’s bloodstream. The toxins and waste don’t just “hang around” in the placenta.
Your capsules never expire! Make sure to keep them at room temperature and in a dry place.
You can still encapsulate your placenta if you delay cord clamping.
If the company you use only banks the cord and PART of the placenta, then yes, we can encapsulate the placenta. If they bank the cord and the entire placenta, no.
For legal reasons, we can only encapsulate the placenta for the mother it belongs to.
With our method of encapsulation, the only reason it would be unsafe to encapsulate your placenta is if you are HIV positive.
