Placenta Capsule Instructions

Congratulations on the birth of your baby! Now that you’ve received your placenta capsules and/or tincture here are some suggestions and tips for using them. If you have any questions or concerns please call or email (254)749-2046, letsdoulathiswaco@gmail.com

Just a reminder to LISTEN to YOUR body. Notice how your capsules make you feel. Do not take your capsules if you are experiencing symptoms of cold, flu, or infection (such as mastitis). Wait until the symptoms subside to resume taking capsules. Taking your capsules while sick can potentially make the symptoms linger.

You don’t NEED to take your capsule with food but you may want to should you have any funny tasting burps.

Capsules should be stored in a cool, dark place. Too much warmth can cause bacteria and mold to grow. Do not store in the fridge! Capsules should always remain dry. Store capsules in freezer for long term use.

Suggested Dosage >100 Capsules:

  • Week 1: 3 capsules 3 times a day

  • Week 2: 2 capsules 3 times a day

  • Week 3: 2 capsules 3 times a day

  • Week 4: 1 pill 3 times a day, or as needed

    **Do not exceed 9 capsules in 24 hours

Suggested Dosage <100 Capsules:

  • Week 1: 2 capsules 3 times a day

  • Week 2: 2 capsules 2 times a day

  • Week 3: 2 capsules 2 times a day

  • Week 4: 1 capsule 2 times a day, or as needed

** Do not exceed 9 capsules in 24 hours

Tips:

  • Take for a midday slump.

  • This is great iron and nutritional supplementation along with your multivitamin.

  • If you notice what looks to be an “over abundant” milk production and this is problematic for you, take a look at the dosage you are taking and modify to less.

  • Take a capsule during the middle of the night or very early morning feeding when you will most likely go back to sleep right away. You’ll wake feeling refreshed.

  • If you notice you are feeling jittery or like you’ve had too much caffeine, you may want to take a look at how many capsules you are taking and modify to less.

  • This can aid in prolonging or increasing milk production when you are going back to work or will be away from your baby for a while.

  • This can help aid in hormonal shifts, like your first menses after the baby.

Tincture Instructions:

  • Once your tincture is returned to you after the 6 week fermentation process please store in a cool dry place.

  • Use as needed just like your capsules!

  • Use as needed during hormonal shifts, first period, menopause, etc.

Suggested Dosage:

  • 1-3 drops directly under the tongue

  • 5-10 drops in water
