Improve Breast Milk Quality and Production
Now that you are breastfeeding you need higher levels of certain nutrients to keep both you and your baby healthy. Most prenatal vitamins do not contain enough of these essential nutrients, nor will they have an impact on breast milk production.
Nursing Blend was scientifically-designed by doctors and nutritionists to specifically meet the nutritional needs of nursing mothers and their babies and to aid in milk production. In addition, Nursing Blend is endorsed by leading lactation specialist and MD, Dr. Kathleen Marinelli.
A comprehensive formula brings together essential vitamins and minerals to ensure proper nutrition and herbal ingredients to support breast milk production. Current research shows that women are deficient in Vitamin D, which our skin makes when exposed to sunlight, probably because we are so careful with covering up, avoiding sun or using sunscreen. That means that nursing mothers are deficient, as are their babies.
By providing higher levels of Vitamin D, Nursing Blend helps to support healthy teeth and bone development. This is especially important during the first year when an infant is growing quickly. Vitamins B-6 and B-12 support many functions, including the immune system, the nervous system, and the production of red and white blood cells.
Vegetarian and vegan mothers may be especially at risk for deficiencies vitamin of 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. Nursing Blend also contains zinc to help support a healthy immune system and ensure optimal growth and development.
These nutrients, along with other key vitamins and minerals in Nursing Blend, ensure that you and your baby are obtaining the nutrition you need.
In addition to vitamin and mineral support, Nursing Blend contains a natural, proprietary herbal blend designed to improve and maintain milk production. This blend includes natural galactagogues (ingredients to help milk production) such as fenugreek and fennel seed. Nursing Blend also contains a number of 'calming herbs' such as chamomile and anise to help soothe a fussy baby.
"Nursing Blend was designed to meet the unique nutritional requirements for breastfeeding women and I would recommend it as the daily vitamin supplement to all nursing moms."
