Nursing Postnatal Formula

As a nursing mom, it is important that you carefully guard your health.  To prevent illness and fatigue while breastfeeding, and to continue to produce nutritious breast milk, it is important that you take a vitamin and mineral supplement specifically tailored to your nutritional needs.

Nursing Postnatal was formulated by doctors and nutritionists to specifically meet the nutritional needs of nursing mothers. It contains 100% of the required amounts of most vitamins and minerals, and extra amounts of certain key nutrients, including the B vitamins and Vitamin D.

Nursing Postnatal contains 200% Daily Value of each of the following B vitamins: thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12.  The complex of B vitamins aids in energy production, the proper function of the immune system and nervous system, and in the production of red and white blood cells. Vegetarian and vegan mothers may be at increased risk for deficiencies of vitamin B-12 because it is naturally found only in animal products. Folic acid continues to be important during nursing to aid in healthy cell production.

And, in recognition of the vital importance of Vitamin D to the long-term health of women and their breastfed children, Nursing Blend also contains 700% Daily Value of Vitamin D (2800 IU).  Once believed to be important only for bone health, recent research has uncovered the critical role that Vitamin D plays in the prevention and treatment of a wide array of conditions, including  high blood pressure, osteoporosis, depression, obesity, seasonal affective disorder, prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
