Placentas Rock! Here's Why:

Exosomes are the delivery trucks of intercellular communication. They carry proteins, lipids and genetic RNA & DNA material to other cells throughout the body. These guys are powerhouses for signaling cellular and tissue repair, including influencing your immune response.

Today, exosomes are used clinically in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and degenerative conditions. While this is a fairly new development in the world of alternative medicine, some studies suggest benefits.

So what is the connection? The placenta has a lot of exosomes. During pregnancy, these exosomes  are transferred from the placenta all throughout the mothers body to communicate cellular needs so that she can carry a healthy pregnancy. Thankfully, exosomes remain in tact through a process called Lyophilization (i.e. drying and turning into powder) which is exactly what the method of placenta encapsulation is.

​

So while the FDA has not approved and many medical professionals will discourage placentophagy, logically, one would deduce the presence of exosomes in placenta capsules exists as a potential benefit. Clinical trials of exosome therapies show outcomes of improved immune response and healing. So while double-blind trials of placenta capsule use are not being done, simply researching the experiences and reported benefits of so many others before you provide some very promising results.

I encourage you to decide for yourself and consider giving it a try this pregnancy. Don't forget to add a tincture to your service to provide continued benefits, beyond your capsule yield!
