Indications & Uses
This capsule is used to increase breast milk production in mothers who are breastfeeding.
Pharmacology
Fenugreek extract stimulates the body's own production of prolactin, and this in turn stimulates breast milk production. Fennel extract supports milk production and helps against flatulence in babies. Cumin contains active ingredients such as carvone and terpenes, which can stimulate your milk flow. Dill powder can reduce the risk of inflammation of the mammary glands. Aniseed extract promotes the stimulation of milk production. Taken together, these natural herbs increase milk production in breastfeeding mothers.
Fenugreek belongs to the same family as peanuts and chickpeas, so it may cause an allergic reaction in mothers who are allergic to these. Fenugreek also reduces blood glucose levels and blood cholesterol. Doses higher than the recommended one may result in hypoglycemia in some mothers. Mothers who are diabetic should use fenugreek only if their blood glucose levels are well controlled. Mothers with hypoglycemia should also use fenugreek with caution.
