Our read on it
One of the better known herbal supplements among breastfeeding mothers, and fenugreek-free, which matters if fenugreek's smell or its effect on your stomach bothers you. But first, plainly: what actually raises supply is frequent, effective emptying of the breast, by feeding or pumping. A supplement is at best an aid, and the evidence for herbal galactagogues is limited. Do not let it replace more frequent feeds.
Pros
- Fenugreek-free, so none of its smell or stomach effects
- Vegan capsules
- A brand well known among breastfeeding mothers
Cons
- The evidence for herbal galactagogues is limited
- No substitute for frequent emptying, which is the real driver
- Expensive for roughly one month
Important safety information
Talk to your doctor or a lactation specialist before taking any herbal supplement while breastfeeding, particularly if you have a chronic condition or take medication, since herbs interact with some drugs. What you take can pass into your milk. Stop and seek advice if anything new appears in you or the baby. And if supply is genuinely low, the first step is a lactation specialist reviewing latch and feed frequency, not more supplements.
