Brief Information |
Your placenta contains:
✓ Haemoglobin (iron) – increases energy and combats anaemia ✓ Vitamins and minerals – A, D, E K, C, B6 and B Complex ✓ Oxytocin – the love hormone, a bonding and calming hormone which also prom otes breastfeeding ✓ Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH) – CRH is a stress reducer and levels falls dramatically after birth but are still in rich supply within the placenta. It is believed that the 3 day baby blues and some postnatal depression can be caused by a lack of CRH and Oxytocin ✓ Prolactin – the lactation hormone, which increases milk supply and promotes breastfeeding ✓ TSH – regulates the thyroid gland and metabolism ✓ Placental Opioid-Enhancing Factor (POEF) – stimulates the production of natural opioid or pain relieving hormones, including endorphins ✓ Cortisone – combats stress and reduces inflammation ✓ Interferon – stimulates the immune system and protects against infections. ✓ Urokinase Inhibiting Factor & Factor XIII – stops bleeding and promotes healing ✓ Stem Cells & Growth Factor – specialist wound healing agents necessary for cellular repair and regeneration of damaged tissue Other hormones contained in the placenta are: Oestrogen, Progesterone, Thyroid T3 & T4, and Vasopressin. |
