Placenta is a passive item.
Effects[]
- Grants one full Red Heart container when picked up.
- Isaac has a 50% chance to regenerate a Half Red Heart every time the in-game timer hits a new minute (00:01:00, 00:02:00, etc).
Heals 1 additional Red Heart when picked up.
Notes[]
- This item can rarely drop from polyps.
- The regeneration can happen multiple times in the same room, so there is no need to move between rooms to continue regeneration.
However, regeneration does not occur when standing in a Crawl Space.
- Regeneration will only occur when Isaac has Red Heart containers or something equivalent:
- Keeper's and
Tainted Keeper's coin hearts will regenerate, one coin at a time.
Bone Hearts regenerate like red hearts.
- Consequently, characters with no applicable health -- ???, The Lost, Dark Judas, Tainted Bethany, Tainted Judas, and Tainted Lost—do not benefit from the effect.
- Keeper's and

Trivia[]
- A Placenta is an organ that forms from the mother's uterus during pregnancy that supports the fetus 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 (without proper preparation methods).
