placenta services
$300.00
Placenta Pills are kind of magical for most people who take them #afterbirth. Placentas are full of: CRH, hPL, Oxytocin, ACTH, estrogenic and gestagenic active substances. As well as Iron and Protein. And while steaming and dehydrating can lower the concentrations of these things, processing minimizes potential contaminants.​
