NaturoBest - Lactation Support Supplement
60 capsules
Galega officinalis (Goat's Rue) Extract:
- Goat's Rue contains compounds called guanidine derivatives, including galegine, which mimic the action of insulin in the body.
- By acting like insulin, Goat's Rue can stimulate the mammary glands to produce more milk. It does this by increasing the uptake of glucose and other nutrients into the mammary cells, providing the energy and building blocks needed for milk production.
- Additionally, Goat's Rue may influence the release and activity of prolactin, the hormone responsible for milk synthesis and secretion. Higher prolactin levels can lead to increased milk production.
Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek) Extract:
- Fenugreek seeds are rich in phytoestrogens, plant compounds that mimic the effects of estrogen in the body.
- These phytoestrogens can stimulate the mammary glands and promote the synthesis of prolactin. Prolactin, in turn, triggers milk production in lactating mothers.
- Fenugreek's galactagogue properties make it a popular choice among breastfeeding women to enhance milk supply.
Urtica dioica (Nettle) Extract:
- Nettle is a nutrient-dense herb, containing vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
- During lactation, mothers have increased nutrient demands to support milk production and overall maternal health.
- Nettle provides essential nutrients like iron and calcium, which are crucial for maintaining energy levels and ensuring optimal milk quality.
Verbena officinalis (Vervain) Extract:
- Vervain's bitter compounds, such as verbenalin, stimulate the digestive system.
- Improved digestion and nutrient absorption can indirectly benefit lactation by ensuring that the mother efficiently absorbs essential nutrients from her diet.
- These nutrients are then available to support milk production and the overall health of both the mother and baby.
These herbal ingredients support lactation through various mechanisms. Goat's Rue and Fenugreek directly influence hormone levels, stimulating the mammary glands and increasing prolactin production.
Nettle provides essential nutrients for energy and milk quality, while Vervain enhances digestion and nutrient absorption, indirectly contributing to lactation support.
Together, these herbs provide a comprehensive approach to promoting healthy and ample milk supply for nursing mothers.
