Prenatal Lakto 30+30 Caps | Breastfeeding & Postpartum

Prenatal Lakto is a premium, two-phase dietary supplement scientifically developed in Poland to meet the unique and demanding nutritional needs of breastfeeding women and their infants. The postpartum period and lactation require an increased intake of specific micronutrients to support maternal recovery and ensure the high nutritional quality of breast milk. This advanced formula utilizes a combination of one hard capsule (containing essential vitamins and minerals like active folate and choline) and one soft capsule (providing a pure, concentrated dose of DHA). By delivering this targeted spectrum of nutrients, Prenatal Lakto actively supports the newborn's ongoing brain and eye development while helping the mother maintain her energy, immunity, and overall well-being.

Composition and Active Substance

Each daily serving consists of a synergistic pairing of two distinct capsules:

• Hard Capsule (Vitamins and Minerals):

  • Choline: 125 mg – vital for liver function and the structural integrity of cell membranes.

  • Folic Acid (including Quatrefolic®): 400 µg – essential for cell division and continuous tissue growth.

  • Vitamin D3: 50 µg (2000 IU) – supports the maternal immune system and calcium absorption.

  • Iodine: 150 µg – critical for normal thyroid function and the baby's neurodevelopment.

  • Iron (Ferrochel®): 30 mg – a highly bioavailable chelated form to support red blood cell formation and fight postpartum fatigue.

  • Vitamin B6 & B12: Support energy metabolism and nervous system health.

• Soft Capsule (Omega-3):

  • DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid): 300 mg – a crucial structural lipid for the baby's brain and retina.

  • EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid): 39 mg – supports cardiovascular health and manages inflammatory responses.

Pharmacological Action

Prenatal Lakto operates through several biological pathways to support both mother and child during the breastfeeding journey:

• Enriching Breast Milk: The high-quality DHA in the soft capsule directly passes into breast milk. Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal brain and eye development of the breastfed infant.

• Brain and Nervous System Support: Choline works closely with folate and Vitamin B12 to support the synthesis of acetylcholine (a major neurotransmitter) and the myelination of nerve fibers in the growing baby.

• Anemia Prevention: Iron in the highly absorbable Ferrochel® form helps replenish maternal iron stores depleted during childbirth, reducing postpartum fatigue and supporting healthy lactation.

• Immune Modulation: High-dose Vitamin D3 supports the mother's immune system, which can be stressed during the demanding postpartum period.

Indications for Use

This supplement is specifically indicated for:

• Women who are actively breastfeeding or expressing milk.

• Postpartum recovery to replenish depleted maternal nutrient stores.

• Ensuring the high nutritional quality of breast milk for the baby's growth.

Contraindications

• Hypersensitivity: Do not use if you are allergic to fish, seafood, soy, or any other components of the capsules.

• Iron Overload: Contraindicated in individuals with conditions like hemochromatosis or hemosiderosis.

• Severe Renal or Hepatic Disease: Consult a doctor if you have advanced kidney or liver issues before taking concentrated mineral supplements.

Dosage and Administration

• Standard Dose: 1 hard capsule AND 1 soft capsule daily.

• Method: Swallow both capsules with a glass of water. Do not chew or open them.

• Timing: Best taken with or immediately after a main meal (preferably containing healthy fats) to ensure optimal absorption of the lipid-soluble vitamins and DHA.

Special Administration Tips

To prevent potential gastrointestinal sensitivities common with iron and fish oil, take the capsules with food rather than on an empty stomach. It is highly recommended to continue taking Prenatal Lakto for the entire duration of your breastfeeding journey.

Side Effects and Adverse Reactions

Prenatal Lakto is generally exceptionally well-tolerated. However, minor reactions can occasionally occur:

• Gastrointestinal: Mild nausea, soft stools, or dark-colored stools (which is a harmless, normal effect of iron supplementation).

• Sensory: Occasional mild fishy regurgitation if the soft capsule is taken without food.

Special Precautions & Warnings

• Thyroid Conditions: Due to the iodine content, women with active hyperthyroidism or Hashimoto's disease should consult their endocrinologist.

• Other Supplements: Do not combine with other high-dose iron or Vitamin D supplements unless specifically advised by your doctor to avoid accidental over-supplementation.

• Not a Meal Replacement: Supplements are designed to fill nutritional gaps and do not replace a balanced, healthy diet.

Storage Conditions and Shelf Life

• Environment: Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent the fish oil in the soft capsules from going rancid.

• Temperature: Keep at room temperature below 25°C.

• Safety: Keep strictly out of the reach and sight of children.

• Shelf Life: Do not use after the expiration date printed on the side of the box and blister packs.
