what’s in the placenta?

  • Oxytocin: known as the “love hormone” which helps your uterus contract to give birth to your baby. It is also present during breastfeeding to facilitate bonding of mother and baby.

  • Gamma globulin: immune booster that helps protect against postpartum infections

  • Urokinase Inhibiting Factor & Factor XIII: stops bleeding and enhances wound healing

  • Thyroid Stimulating Hormone: boosts energy and helps recover from stressful events

  • Gonadotrophin: the precursor to estrogen, progesterone and testosterone

  • Interferon: stimulates the immune system to protect against infection

  • Cortisone: combats stress and unlocks stores of energy

  • Hemoglobin: replenishes iron deficiency and anemia

  • Prostaglandins: anti-inflammatory

  • Prolactin: promotes lactation
