FENUGREEK, MORINGA: galactagogue plants recognized for boosting milk production and supporting lactation
Fenugreek Seed Extract 600mg EPS*

* Equivalent dry plants
Breastfeeding: yes
Pregnancy: No
Chew 2 gummies 1 to 4 times a day depending on the desired intensity.
Not recommended during pregnancy. Consult your midwife if breastfeeding. Do not administer to children and adolescents. Consult a doctor if you are undergoing treatment or have a medical condition.
This depends on your needs; if you are experiencing a decrease in lactation due to a period of stress or intense fatigue, a 15-day to 1-month course is recommended to support your breastfeeding while you regain your strength.
You can also take the course occasionally, for example, if you need to stock up on breast milk because you plan to be away (anticipate and start taking the gummies a few days in advance).
A longer course may be necessary in cases of relactation or very fragile lactation. In this latter case, the gummies are only recommended if you have first tried other ways to increase your milk production (increasing the number of daily feedings through on-demand breastfeeding, stimulation with a breast pump, etc.)
Don't hesitate to consult a lactation consultant for support.
Their effectiveness can be presumed from their use from generation to generation for millennia. For example, it is known that fenugreek was already used in Ancient Egypt by breastfeeding women.
Moreover, it is the galactagogue that has been the most studied; an Egyptian study conducted in 1945 reported a 900% increase in milk secretion following the intake of fenugreek.
Rima Jensen, MD, suggests that fenugreek may affect milk production because the breast is a sweat gland and this plant is known to
stimulate sweat production. (1)
Moringa has also been the subject of serious research; a randomized study conducted in the Philippines (2,3) showed that Moringa increased prolactin hormones and breast milk production.
Furthermore, beyond its galactagogue effect, Moringa has other benefits; a recent study showed that the ingestion of Moringa after birth increased the intake of vitamin A (vision, bone growth, immune system, etc.) for the mother and increased its content in breast milk for at least six months.
