Which product should I take Postpartum?Updated 19 days ago

The base formula of the Postpartum and the Complete Prenatal are built on the same foundation. The Complete Prenatal differs slightly with a standalone Iron pill—so you can skip it on days when nausea is a concern—as well as reduced Zinc and B12 for a gentler formula that still provides the recommended daily values. The Postpartum has the option to add the Lactation Boost, which many choose to do. The base formula of two green Daily Essentials and a yellow DHA softgel can be continued through both pregnancy and postpartum. If you are currently taking the Complete Prenatal and do not plan on adding the Lactation Boost, you can continue your subscription postpartum without needing to swap.

Our Lactation Boost includes Blessed Thistle, Moringa Leaf, and Fenugreen Seeds. There are several plants that research has shown can increase breast milk production and stimulate flow. Blessed Thistle is a Mediterranean herb that stimulates blood circulation to the mammary glands to improve milk flow. Fenugreek Seeds are a source of phytoestrogens, which play a role in the making of prolactin, the milk production hormone. Moringa Leaf, a highly valued food crop in its native South Asia, has been shown to increase prolactin levels and milk production.
