There is overwhelming anecdotal evidence supporting placenta consumption. The placenta has been found to have substantial levels of progesterone and estrogen, providing positive physiological effects when consumed. The American Pregnancy Association says it has demonstrated to assist with mood stabilization through supplementing oxytocin levels, suggesting placenta consumption has a regulatory effect on postpartum hormones. Possible benefits may include:

•   Reduced risk of postnatal mood disorders

• Reduced post-natal bleeding

• Increased milk supply

• Increased iron levels

• Balanced hormones

• Increased Energy
