The process takes two days, in the client's home for no more than two hours each day. Depending on the size of the placenta, Lexi will create between 75 – 250 capsules . Benefits include but are not limited to:balance to post-birth hormones, improvement in postpartum mood, increase lactation supply and aid recovery from birth. It should be noted that individual results may vary and each placenta encapsulation will be handled case by case.
Enhanced Milk Supply
Consumption of your placenta might boost milk supply for breastfeeding mothers, and assist with your breastfeeding journey due to the presence of prolactin in the placenta.
Mood Improvement
The placenta's hormones play an important role in stabilizing fluctuations after childbirth, which can help reduce the risk of postpartum depression or baby blues.
Boosted Energy
The placenta is rich in various nutrients and hormones, such as corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and stem cells, which are known to play a role in mitigating fatigue.
