Lactate Support Liquid Phyto-Caps
Supports Healthy Lactation During the Breast Feeding Months*
60 Liquid-filled Capsules • 100% Vegetarian
Description of Formula
Lactate Support is a unique formula specifically designed for women who are breastfeeding and wish to maintain a healthy lactation response. The majority of herbs in this formula are classified as galactagogues, meaning they promote the secretion and flow of milk, improving a lactating woman's milk supply. Not surprisingly, these herbs have been used for centuries by breastfeeding women around the world. Accompanying herbs in this formula also maintain a strengthening and nutritive role for lactating mothers. Lactate Support distinguishes itself as a superior formula for lactating mothers, with all of the herbs in the formula being organically grown or ecologically wildcrafted.*
Fenugreek seed contains complex carbohydrates, protein, steroid saponins, flavonoids, and sterols that function collectively to encourage healthy lactation during the breastfeeding months. The fenugreek seed has been an important ally to breastfeeding women throughout the world. In fact its use for stimulating milk flow in lactating women has been documented in Egypt, Iraq, Sudan, Argentina, North America and India. In India, women eat halva, a paste made from fenugreek seeds, in the weeks following the birth of their child to encourage the healthy flow of milk.*
Fennel seed, like fenugreek seed, has enjoyed centuries of use as a galactagogue. While its exact mechanism of action is not yet known, we do know that it offers the nursing mother essential nutrients. It contains calcium, magnesium, beta carotene, iron and vitamin C, all of which are important to remaining vital and strong during the breastfeeding months.*
Red Raspberry leaf functions as a galacatagogue, encouraging the healthy flow of milk, and plays a nutritive role for lactating women, by enriching the breast milk with bioflavonoids, polypeptides, vitamin C, calcium and iron. Red Raspberry leaf also serves to strengthen and invigorate the nursing mother, helping to restore her system to a place of health and balance after childbirth.*
Blessed thistle is also classified by herbalists as a galactagogue, and is revered for its ability to encourage healthy digestive function and a healthy appetite - important for maintaining strength and vitality in lactating women.*
Marshmallow root contains mucilage and other compounds that serve to support healthy breast milk and healthy gastrointestinal function.*
