How is the Postnatal Multivitamin different from the Prenatal Multivitamin?

The Postnatal Multivitamin is designed to support the nutritional needs of lactation, which are different from the needs for pregnancy. While the Prenatal Multivitamin includes extra high doses of vitamins B5, B6, B12 and folate, and 100% of the RDA for iron, the Postnatal Multivitamin includes less iron and keeps the B vitamin doses at 100% of RDA. The Postnatal Multivitamin also includes a blend of herbs traditionally known to help boost milk production.

How big are the capsules?

We use Size 00 capsules, which are 0.91 inches long by 0.33 inches wide (23 x 8 millimeters). Most people find that they go down easily with a healthy swig of water.

Can I open the capsules and pour the powder into a drink?

Yes, if you prefer not to swallow the capsules, they can easily be opened and you can mix the vitamin powder with your favorite juice, yogurt, or smoothie.

What is the best way to take this multivitamin?

We suggest taking one capsule with breakfast, one with lunch, and one with dinner. Spreading out the dose over the course of the day will make it easier for your body to absorb all the nutrients. Taking your multivitamin with food also supports absorption and tends to make it easier on the stomach.

What other supplements can I take with this multivitamin?

We suggest pairing this multivitamin with our Vegan DHA supplement while you are breastfeeding. DHA supports your baby’s healthy brain and eye development and will be passed to your baby through your milk. You may also wish to take an additional vitamin D3 supplement to help your baby meet their vitamin D requirements. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all babies be supplemented with 400 IU of vitamin D a day. Research shows that high maternal doses of vitamin D (4000-6000 IU) can potentially enrich breast milk enough to meet daily infant needs.* This is above normal vitamin D recommendations for lactating women, so first talk to your doctor about whether this is right for you and your baby.

Is this multivitamin free of common allergens?

This multivitamin is free of most common allergens, including soy, gluten, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, and nuts.

How do I store my bottle so that it stays fresh longer?

Keep your bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ideally, the room temperature should be 59°-77°F (15°- 25°C) and the relative humidity in the room should not exceed 65%, to prevent moisture buildup inside the bottle.

Do you offer a money-back guarantee in case this supplement doesn’t work for me?
