Juana Repetto Shares Placenta Art, Capsules and Cord Keepsake on Instagram

Coverage reports the cited health benefits as product claims that have not been independently verified.

Overview

  • Two weeks after giving birth to her third son, Timoteo, Repetto posted a placenta imprint and said she will frame imprints from all three pregnancies for her office.
  • She displayed a jar of capsules made from her placenta and read a list of purported benefits, including energy restoration, hormone balance, increased milk supply and added nutrients.
  • Repetto also showed a hydroalcoholic placenta tincture and an umbilical-cord keepsake shaped like an infinity symbol, saying a specialist prepared the cord.
  • Clarín reported that she enlisted her lactation workshop teacher to process the placenta into capsules, reflecting a process she has documented on Instagram Stories.
  • Outlets noted that turning placentas into keepsakes or consumables has become a celebrity trend, which provides context for Repetto’s choices.
