Nutrients and Hormones
There are so many goodies found in your placenta. Click to see:
CRH (CORTICOTROPIN RELEASING HORMONE)
Regulation of CRH helps to prevent depression.
CORTISONE
Reduces inflammation and swelling, promotes healing.
CYTOKNES
Small secreted proteins released by cells in the body. They have a specific effect on the interactions
and communications between cells. They help in the making of new cells to heal and replace
damaged cells and tissue.
ESTROGEN, PROGESTRONE, TESTOSTERONE
Contributes to mammary gland development in preparation for lactation, stabilizes postpartum mood, and regulates post-birth uterine cramping.
HEMOGLOBIN
Oxygen-carrying molecule which provides a boost in energy.
HPL (HUMAN PLACENTAL LACTOGEN)
This hormone has lactogenic and growth-promoting properties; promotes mammary gland growth
in preparation for lactation in the mother and also regulates maternal glucose, protein, and fat levels.
IgG (IMMUNOGLOBULIN G)
Antibody molecules which support the immune system.
INTERFERON
Triggers the protective defenses of the immune system to fight infection; inhibits virus reproduction.
IRON
Iron is the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to transport it throughout
your entire body. Without healthy red blood cells, your body can’t get enough oxygen-which can
lead to fatigue. Replenishes maternal iron stores to combat anemia; increases energy; decreases
fatigue and depression.
OXYTOCIN
Decreases pain and increases bonding in mother and infant; counteracts the production of stress
hormones such as Cortisol; greatly reduces postpartum bleeding; enhances the breastfeeding letdown reflex.
PHOSPHORUS
Aids in digestion, hormone balance, cell repair, and nutrient utilization.
PLACENTAL GROWTH HORMONE
Promotes breakdown of stored fats, sending them to baby.
PLACENTAL OPIOD-ENHANCING FACTOR
Stimulates the production of your body’s natural opioids, including endorphins; reduces pain; increases well-being.
PROLACTIN
Promotes lactation; increases milk supply; enhances the mothering instinct.
PROSTAGLANDINS
Regulates contractions in the uterus after birth; helps uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size.
STEM CELLS
Help to repair damage done to the body caused by childbirth. Helps you to heal and recover quicker.
TSH (THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE)
Regulates the thyroid gland; boosts energy; regulates metabolism.
UROKINASE INHIBITING FACTOR AND FACTOR XIII
Stops bleeding and enhances wound healing.
VITAMIN B6
Helps support adrenal function (adrenal glands are what produce hormones).
Helps to calm and maintain a healthy nervous system.
Helps to speed up metabolism by acting as a coenzyme in the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
