Food-Grown Breast-Feeding Complex

We have included clinically studied herbs and plant extracts such as Stinging Nettle, Marigold and Fenugreek to provide traditional support during this life stage. Stinging Nettle (or Urtica Dioica) and Fenugreek have been used for centuries as galactagogue herbs (breast milk enhancers) to improve milk supply and quality for lactating women. Their natural supply of iron and other minerals means that they are also used as a nutritiously rich plant to nourish new mothers after birth.

Yes, you can. In fact, these two products are an ideal combination. 

No, this formula is a special combination of nutrients and botanicals facilitating easier feeding and milk supply by providing certain nutrients that are key for both mother and baby during breast-feeding. We recommend taking this alongside our Pregnancy Complex or our Daily Multi Nutrient 

You can begin taking this as soon as you give birth. Please do not take this during pregnancy. We recommend stocking up before you give birth so it is ready for you once your child has been born. 

No, if you are experiencing intensified letdown or producing too much milk but still want to support yourself nutritionally, we recommend taking our Food-Grown Pregnancy, which was also formulated for post-natal support. 

We recommend taking this formula alongside our Pregnancy Complex whilst breast-feeding, which provides the recommended level of Vitamin D needed during this period of new motherhood. However, if you are taking the Breastfeeding Complex alone, we recommend you supplement with additional Vitamin D such as our Food-Grown Vitamin D 1000iu.  

Yes, our formula helps to ‘kick-start’ milk flow and promote its continued supply.

Our Marigold Extract provides a very high quality Lutein. Lutein, the primary carotenoid found within breastmilk, supports the development of your baby’s brain and eyes during infancy. Supply in breastmilk is dependent on a mother’s intake during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and recent research has shown that levels are statistically low in modern diets. Supplementation during breastfeeding can therefore enhance the supply of Lutein to your breastfed baby. 

The health of your thyroid can be challenged through any significant hormonal shift, such as pregnancy or birth. Selenium and Zinc have been included in this formula to promote maternal thyroid health, which will often need extra support after giving birth in order to regulate energy and hormone balance and promote your child’s healthy growth. 

This unique complex contains Vitamin B12 to support the nervous system and normal psychological function, as well as Iron and Zinc to reduce tiredness and fatigue. These key nutrients also promote healthy skin, hair and nails.
