Vitakruid Postpartum Mama including Fenugreek, Shatavari & CholineSupport your body after childbirth
Your body has worked hard for nine months to create new life, and childbirth itself is an intense physical and mental strain. In addition, there is the care for your baby, which can demand a lot from you. Little sleep, night feedings, and the constant attention your baby needs. Your body could use some support!
Postpartum nutrition
To be that super mom, you need to get enough energy from your diet. So eat enough! Are you breastfeeding? Then you burn extra calories. Try to maintain a healthy and balanced diet to get all the necessary nutrients. And don't forget to drink enough water. A number of nutrients deserve extra attention:
Iron from red meat, fish, or green leafy vegetables. This mineral supports the production of red blood cells.
Omega 3 from fatty fish and algae. DHA is good for the development of the brain and vision of breastfed babies.
Choline from eggs, fish, or nuts. Newborn babies do not yet produce choline, so about 120 mg of choline goes to the baby via breast milk.
Magnesium from green leafy vegetables, nuts, or legumes. Magnesium promotes energy metabolism, helps with fatigue, and is good for the mood.
Vitamin B12 from meat, fish, or dairy. Vitamin B12 is important for the formation of red blood cells and contributes to extra energy during fatigue.
Postpartum Mama
We have developed Postpartum Mama specifically for recently delivered women. This unique formula contains no less than 17 nutrients that perfectly match the needs of women in the postpartum period. In addition to the important vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, magnesium, and choline, we have chosen the herbs fenugreek and shatavari.
Fenugreek
Fenugreek is known as a seasoning in the kitchen or as a base for tea. But it is also a valuable addition to Postpartum Mama. In addition to proteins, fibers, minerals, and B vitamins, the herb contains interesting mucilaginous substances such as galactomannan and phytoestrogens.
Shatavari
After childbirth, it is a matter of time before your menstruation resumes. The timing varies per woman and can range from weeks to months. Women who do not breastfeed usually get their period earlier.
High-quality herbal extracts
The herbs in Postpartum Mama are characterized by their purity, concentration, and quality. The fenugreek extract is standardized to 10% fenusides, while the shatavari extract has an extraction ratio of 5:1.
With high dose of choline
Newborn babies cannot produce choline themselves yet. Therefore, breast milk contains a lot of choline and it is added to formula. New scientific insights show that choline is indispensable for mother and child. That's why Postpartum Mama contains no less than 120 mg of choline.
