- 01Iron BisglycinateStrong90% match
Blood loss at delivery and the demands of pregnancy frequently deplete iron stores, and correcting confirmed deficiency improves fatigue and oxygen delivery.
SuggestedIron bisglycinate (25 to 50 mg elemental) - 02Vitamin D3Moderate80% match
Vitamin D status is often low postpartum and supports bone, immune, and mood pathways, and maternal intake influences breast-milk levels.
SuggestedVitamin D3 (1000 to 2000 IU/day, adjusted to lab levels) - 03Fish OilModerate74% match
DHA is drawn down during pregnancy and lactation, and replenishing omega-3s supports maternal stores and is transferred into breast milk.
SuggestedHigh-DHA triglyceride-form fish oil - 04MethylcobalaminModerate70% match
B12 supports energy metabolism and nerve function, and breastfeeding losses plus low dietary intake can deplete it, especially on plant-based diets.
SuggestedMethylcobalamin (sublingual or oral) - 05Magnesium GlycinateModerate66% match
Magnesium contributes to energy production, muscle function, and sleep, all of which are commonly strained in the postpartum period.
SuggestedMagnesium glycinate (200 to 400 mg elemental in the evening) - 06MethylfolateModerate60% match
Folate is used heavily in pregnancy and lactation, and the active methylfolate form supports red blood cell production and methylation.
SuggestedL-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF)
