A member asked:

Where can i get placenta encapsulated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What?: I don't know if you mean preserved? The hospitals will put it in a container for you. If you want it preserved, ask them to put it in formalin. Just know that that is toxic, so don't let anyone, particularly children open the container.
