Placenta is a passive item.

Effects

• Grants one full Red Heart container when picked up.
• Isaac has a chance to regenerate a Half Red Heart every one minute of gameplay.

Notes

• The regeneration can happen multiple times in the same room, so there is no need to move between rooms to continue regeneration.
• It is possible to regenerate all missing hearts by simply standing in the same room for a while. Players may want to take a short break with the game not paused to regenerate all of their health.
• Regeneration can be used with the IV Bag or Blood Donation Machine to slowly regain hearts spent, allowing for a slow yet infinite source of money from the IV Bag.
• Regeneration does not occur when standing in a Crawl Space.
• Regeneration occurs with Keeper; it will restore a full health coin for him.
• Regeneration occurs with The Forgotten, restoring a third of a bone heart.
• Regeneration will not occur for ???, as he only has soul hearts.

Synergies

• Gnawed Leaf: Allows Isaac to safely regenerate in any room.

Interactions

• Maggy's Bow: No effect on regen.

Trivia

• A Placenta is an organ that forms from the mother's uterus during pregnancy that supports the unborn child during development until it is expelled during childbirth. In some cultures, it is a common practice for the mother and/or child to eat the expelled placenta.
  • This, like many other things Isaac does, is medically inadvisable.

Bugs
