Folate - Vitamin B9 - 500mcg DFE

83% Daily Value

Recent research indicates that up to 60% of women possess the MTHFR gene, which hinders or prevents the conversion of folic acid. In our postnatal formulation, we have incorporated 5-MTHF, the natural food form of folate found in leafy green vegetables and legumes. Unlike folic acid, 5-MTHF is readily available and doesn't require conversion by the body. Being the natural food form of folate, it is easily absorbed and utilized by the body. Moreover, 5-MTHF demonstrates superior ability to cross the blood-brain barrier compared to folic acid, making it more effective in supporting brain development.

Choline - 320mg

58% Daily Value

Choline, recognized as a "brain-building" nutrient by the American Academy of Pediatrics, holds great significance for nursing women. Surprisingly, approximately 90%–95% of nursing women consume less choline than the suggested adequate intake. Regrettably, most postnatal supplements typically lack sufficient choline content. This is precisely why our postnatal supplement is carefully formulated to provide a substantial source of choline, with 320 mcg per serving. Nursing mothers have an elevated demand for choline, requiring a daily intake of 550 mg during breastfeeding. Additionally, breast milk naturally contains high levels of choline. The increased choline requirements of the baby place additional strain on the mother's choline reserves during both pregnancy and lactation.

Vitamin D - 160mcg (6400IU)

1067% Daily Value

We have chosen to use Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, based on research suggesting its superiority over D2. A study conducted in 2016 demonstrated that supplementing with Vitamin D3 twice a week for five weeks was more effective in raising vitamin D levels compared to an equivalent dosage of D2. While additional research is warranted, a 2015 study showed that providing 6400 IU/day of maternal vitamin D supplementation ensures a safe and effective supply of vitamin D in breast milk, meeting the needs of the nursing infant without the necessity for direct infant supplementation.

Vitamin K2 - 90mcg

Daily Value Not Established

Our formulation includes Vital K2, a premium form of Vitamin K. Vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone, is regarded as superior to other forms of Vitamin K for several reasons. It boasts a longer half-life within the body, allowing for more efficient utilization and benefits. Vitamin K2 exhibits a remarkable affinity for tissues that heavily rely on Vitamin K, such as bone and arterial tissues, making it potentially more effective in supporting calcium uptake and reducing the risk of calcification in these areas. Furthermore, emerging research suggests that Vitamin K2 may possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can contribute to overall health and well-being.

Iodine- 220mg

76% Daily Value

Iodine plays a critical role in maintaining normal thyroid function, supporting increased synthesis of thyroid hormones in postnatal women, and facilitating brain development in infants during gestation and throughout their early years. Insufficient iodine levels in postnatal women during pregnancy have been associated with decreased IQ and poorer school performance in their children. Although further research is needed, one study indicated that children born to women with inadequate iodine intake during pregnancy may experience a lower IQ by approximately 10 points.**

Iodine is primarily obtained through the diet, with significant sources being iodized salt, seafood, and dairy products. However, the rising consumption of processed foods, which often contain non-iodized salt, and the popularity of non-iodized salt varieties such as sea salt, have led to decreased dietary iodine intake. As a result, the iodine status of women in the postnatal stage has declined, particularly among those of childbearing age in the United States.

Calcium - 200mg

15% Daily Value

Our Wholesome Postantal is filled with 200mg of AquaminTM calcium per serving, sourced naturally from the sea. Obtained from red algae (Lithothamnion spp), this calcium is derived as the plant accumulates minerals from seawater throughout its lifespan. These minerals are naturally stored in the plant as carbonate salts. Studies have demonstrated that this particular form of calcium exhibits superior absorption compared to other forms.

Vitamin C - 120mg

100% Daily Value

Vitamin C, being water-soluble, isn't stored in the body and requires daily replenishment. To provide you with the best form of Vitamin C available, we have incorporated Pureway-C™, an advanced and exceptional type of vitamin C. Pureway-C™ uniquely binds ascorbic acid to lipid metabolites, enabling rapid penetration into cells. As a result, it enhances digestion, cellular absorption, retention, and utilization of Vitamin C within the body.

Vitamin B12 - 2.8mcg

100% Daily Value

In supplements, you will typically find two primary forms of B12: cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin. Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form that requires conversion by the body. This form is commonly used in supplements due to its lower cost. However, we have specifically chosen to formulate with methylcobalamin, the most active form of B12. Methylcobalamin is the naturally occurring form of B12 that is readily absorbed by the body, making it easier for your system to utilize.

Vitamin A - 1300mcg

100% Daily Value

Taking both beta-carotene and retinyl palmitate as supplements offers significant advantages. Beta-carotene contributes to maintaining healthy skin and supports your baby’s growth and development. On the other hand, retinyl palmitate plays a critical role in fetal vision, immune function, and skin health. By incorporating both types of vitamin A into your diet, you can ensure an adequate intake of this essential nutrient for both yourself and your developing baby.

Vitamin E - 19mg

100% Daily Value

In our formulation, we have carefully selected non-GMO Sunvitol 500E as it offers an ideal source of Vitamin E. Derived from sunflowers, it does not undergo chemical synthesis like vitamin E derived from soybeans. Sunvitol 500E provides the most biologically active form of Vitamin E, known as alpha-tocopherol.

Niacin plays a vital role in converting food into energy, contributing to the formation of healthy skin, and ensuring proper functioning of the nervous system. With niacin being a cost-effective ingredient, the majority of postnatal supplements available in the market meet the recommended daily intake for this nutrient.

Vitamin B6 - 2mg

100% Daily Value

Vitamin B6, also referred to as pyridoxine, is an essential nutrient for nursing women and is commonly included in postnatal vitamins at a dosage of 2mg. This nutrient plays a critical role in supporting the healthy growth and development of the nursing infant while contributing to the overall well-being of the mother during the nursing phase. Vitamin B6 is necessary for energy metabolism, aids in the formation of healthy skin, and supports the proper functioning of the nervous system.

Molybdenum - 25mcg

50% Daily Value

Molybdenum amino acid chelate refers to a specific type of mineral supplement in which molybdenum forms a complex with one or more amino acids. This chelation process enhances the stability of the mineral and reduces its likelihood of binding with other compounds in the digestive system. Consequently, the bioavailability and absorption of molybdenum improve within the body. Amino acid chelates are widely regarded as the most efficient form of mineral supplements due to their superior absorption and utilization by the body.
