The most bioactive moment in human biology. Preserved.
Precision preservation of nature's most complex biological material.
Everything your placenta makes possible. Preserved and returned to you.
Mothers have been encapsulating their placentas for years — and for good reason. The science now lets us go further: separate each biological compound and preserve it for the route your body can actually use. Proteins in one capsule. Growth factors in another, protected through the stomach. Amniotic serum and face cream. Everything arrives about two weeks after your birth.

The Problem
Here's what's being thrown away at every birth.
The placenta is the most molecularly complex biological material the human body produces. It contains mesenchymal stem cells, the highest hormone concentrations of a woman's lifetime, growth factors in concentrations unique to placental tissue, and living cells that will never be reproducible from any other source. Thousands of mothers already encapsulate their placentas every year — and report real benefits. But whole-tissue processing treats every fraction the same, even though each one needs something different.
Proteins Need Acid
Collagen, fibronectin, and elastin need stomach acid to break down into usable peptides. That same acid destroys the growth factors sitting right next to them in a whole-ground capsule. One needs the environment that kills the other.
Growth Factors Need Protection
EGF, VEGF, and other signaling molecules need enteric protection to survive transit through the stomach. But enteric coating blocks the very acid your proteins need. You can protect one or digest the other. Not both.
Living Cells Need to be Kept Alive
Freeze-drying preserves molecular content beautifully — but it can't keep living cells alive. The maternal stem cells in your placental tissue, available only from this one birth, need cryopreservation — a step that traditional processing wasn't built to include.
Mothers have been doing this for a reason — it works. The science now lets us understand why, and optimize each fraction instead of processing them all as one.
The Moonbox Approach
What arrives two weeks after your birth.
The Birth Box is a complete postpartum wellness set made from your own placenta. Each fraction is optimally processed for the delivery route your body can actually use — oral, topical, or banked for the future. You choose what's best for you and your family.
What We're Building
The Birth Box.
What's Inside
True lyophilization — not heat dehydration. Each fraction gets the capsule type, coating, or formulation it actually needs. You receive a complete labeled set with a Certificate of Analysis, approximately two weeks after your birth.
- Foundation Capsules — structural proteins, minerals, iron
- Signal Capsules — growth factors and exosomes, enteric-coated
- Amniotic Serum — single-use ampoules for skin
- Placenta Face Cream — daily moisturizer
- Certificate of Analysis — pathogen testing included
Stem Cell Banking
Your own stem cells, from your own placental tissue, extracted and cryopreserved at −196°C. This is a one-time collection window within 24 hours of birth— available as an add-on to your Birth Box. Once the placenta is processed or discarded, these cells are gone.
- Your own cells, from your own tissue
- Cryopreserved at −196°C in liquid nitrogen
- Available as an add-on to the Birth Box
- These cells can be banked for future use or administered within the year to you or a family member
- This is a modern regenerative medicine process called mesenchymal stem cell infusion. It can improve energy and immunity for the mother or a close relative. It is used as a longevity and anti-aging medicine and usually requires international travel plus an average cost of $12,000 for an infusion from a donor's birth tissue. This once in a lifetime opportunity (or a few more opportunities if you have more births) comes from your own birth tissue.
Roadmap
Why Now
The window is opening.
Waitlist
Reserve your spot.
We're reserving Birth Box slots for 2026 births, with a limited waitlist for 2027. We're also building a network of doulas, midwives, and birth workers who want to offer their clients something beyond traditional encapsulation. If that's you — in either role — we'd love to hear from you.
You're on the list.
We'll be in touch as we approach your birth window.
