Placenta Encapsulation in Singapore.

We recommend ordering by 36 weeks. This allows us to hold your space and ensure collection can happen smoothly in the immediate postpartum period. Late enquiries are welcome — please get in touch.

Once you have given birth, just let us know and we will create a WhatsApp group to coordinate collection. We collect your placenta from your hospital or home between 9am–9pm.

Your placenta is then prepared in our dedicated processing space. We process only one placenta at a time — never in batches.

The placenta is prepared, steamed using our Thermomix®-controlled process, dehydrated, ground into a fine powder and placed into vegetarian capsules. The entire process generally takes around 24–48 hours from collection, after which your capsules are delivered back to your home.

Most placentas produce approximately 100–300 capsules.

Yes, the number varies because every placenta is different. The final yield depends largely on the size and weight of your placenta after preparation, so a larger placenta will generally produce more capsules than a smaller one.

It is important for us to clarify that we do not make medical claims for placenta encapsulation, and current research has not established that placenta capsules prevent or treat postpartum medical conditions.

However, over the years, mothers who have chosen to encapsulate their placentas have commonly told us that they felt it supported their energy levels, general wellbeing, postpartum recovery and hormonal transition.

Individual experiences do vary — some mothers report a noticeable difference while others may not.

We have now processed more than 1,000 placentas, and we see placenta encapsulation as one possible part of postpartum support rather than something every mother needs to do.

You can generally begin taking your capsules once they are returned to you, provided you are feeling well.

Our suggested intake is:

• Days 1–32 capsules, 3 times a day
• Days 4–142 capsules, twice a day
• Day 15 onwards2 capsules once a day

These instructions are also provided on your bottle, so you don't have to remember everything once baby arrives.

This depends on how many capsules your individual placenta produces.

Following our suggested intake, you will use 62 capsules during the first 14 days, followed by 2 capsules per day from Day 15 onwards.

As most placentas produce approximately 100–300 capsules, your supply will generally last anywhere from around 6 weeks to several months, depending on your individual yield.

Every woman's response can be different. If you notice symptoms or changes that concern you after starting your capsules, we recommend stopping them and seeing whether the symptoms resolve.

If you are unwell, have a fever or infection, or develop symptoms that are significant or persistent, please speak with your doctor rather than assuming they are related to the capsules.

If you have a medical condition or are taking prescription medication, we recommend discussing placenta consumption with your doctor or pharmacist, as we cannot determine medication interactions or provide individual medical advice.

We are also unable to process placentas from mothers who are Hepatitis B carriers or who have blood-borne diseases, so please let us know before booking if this applies to you.

Hygiene and safe handling are extremely important to us. We have processed more than 1,000 placentas, and each placenta is processed individually — one placenta, one processing session, never batched with another client's placenta.

We follow strict Occupational Safety and Health hygiene practices throughout preparation. We use a Thermomix® for the steaming stage, which allows the temperature to be accurately and consistently controlled.

The placenta is then dehydrated before being ground and encapsulated, and all equipment and preparation areas are thoroughly cleaned and sanitised between clients.

Please keep your capsules refrigerated for up to 6 months. If you still have capsules remaining after that, they should be kept frozen thereafter.

Storage instructions are also included on your bottle when your capsules are returned to you.

Absolutely — we encapsulate placentas following both vaginal and Caesarean births.

Before your birth, let your hospital know that you intend to keep/release your placenta. Most Singapore hospitals will ask you to sign a placenta release form.

Hospitals generally do not provide storage for the placenta, so you will need to have a cooler bag with frozen ice bricks ready so that your placenta can be kept properly chilled until we collect it. We recommend a cooler bag approximately 13 × 23 × 13 cm.

If you don't have one, we have a cooler box with two frozen ice bricks available for $30 rental, although this needs to be collected from Four Trimesters before your birth.

Once baby is born, simply message us and we'll coordinate collection with you.

Singleton and monochorionic/identical twin pregnancies have one placenta ($398). Dizygotic/fraternal twin pregnancies have two placentas ($698).

Yes — please notify Four Trimesters if you wish to keep part of the placenta for other purposes so we can accommodate this in our process.
