Placenta Usage Suggestions
Every individual and placenta is different.
It is important to listen to your body to determine what your perfect dosage is. Some people may prefer more capsules per day, while others prefer less. Suggested dosage is 1-3 capsules, up to 3 times a day with meals for the first 1-2 weeks. After 2 weeks you can start to decrease the dosage down to 1 or 2 pills a day as needed.
Do not take capsules when fighting an infection or fever. Once symptoms have cleared you may continue taking your capsules.
Capsules should be consumed by 6 months of time of encapsulation. Capsules should be stored in a cool, dry place, but not in the fridge.

Capsules Storage
Store your capsules in a cool, dry, dark place such as a pantry or medicine cabinet. If you still have capsules left after 2-3 months and plan to store them long-term, move them to the back of your freezer. Humidity can damage the integrity of the capsules and so be watchful for sweating occurring, which can lead to molding. Capsules with mold should not be consumed.
Tincture use
If you received a tincture, The curing time is 6 weeks from drop off time.

Taste & Odor
Like many supplements, such as vitamins and herbal blends it may have a noticeable odour or taste when only consumed with water. Some have reported a copper taste, this may be from the high iron content in the capsules. Consuming capsules with a meal or beverage such as a fruit juice may help diminish this off putting taste.
Powder on Capsules
When consuming your placenta, you may notice powder residue on the capsules. This is normal residue that accumulates upon the completion of the encapsulation process. This residue is your placenta powder and can be wiped off with a soft cloth such as a Kleenex, if you find it bothersome.
Capsule ingredients
The capsules we use are vegetarian, non GMO, Dairy free, wheat free, gluten free and Canadian made using good manufacturing process,
Preserved Cord
We like to include the preserved umbilical cord for your keepsake box. Just as you may save first lock of hair or lost teeth, this is a fully dehydrated and preserved umbilical cord. It is quite fragile and so be sure to handle with care. It can be quite brittle and sides may crumble when handled often. Store in a protective box or memory frame box for long term use and care.
Placenta Art (unframed)
If you have a placenta print made from the blood of the placenta, it will be important to avoid fading or damage. To protect it we recommend that it is kept in a sealed glass frame. Avoid direct sunlight. If unframed you may notice flaking occurring in some areas.
