FEMIBION® 3 LACTATION

Helps you and your baby during breastfeeding *

A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are very important also after pregnancy and childbirth: they help you regain strength and face new tasks and challenges; for example, if you choose to breastfeed your baby. Breastfeeding helps you form a strong bond with your baby and also provides essential nutrients.

Breast milk production generally begins two to three days after delivery. If you are breastfeeding, you will produce approximately 300 to 500 ml of milk per day for the first week. This can increase to 600 to 700 ml per day, depending on your baby's needs.

The amount of milk you produce, its composition, and nutrients are largely influenced by your lifestyle and diet. In addition, breastfeeding your baby places demands on your body, increasing the energy you need and the micronutrient needs.

During the lactation period, the mother's nutritional needs for certain nutrients increase. For example, special care must be taken to ensure an adequate supply of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA.

Maternal intake of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes of the fetus and the breastfed infant. The beneficial effects of DHA are obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg of DHA in addition to the recommended daily intake of 250 mg of omega-3 fatty acids for adults (DHA + EPA).

Femibion® 3 provides you with carefully selected ingredients, such as DHA, that can help you during this period as a complement to a varied diet. It also contains folic acid, vitamins D and A, iron, calcium, choline, lutein, and other additional nutrients (iodine, selenium, zinc, vitamins B, C, and E). Iron helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, while calcium is necessary for the maintenance of bones under normal conditions. Choline contributes to the normal metabolism of homocysteine. Choline needs are highest during lactation. Femibion® 3 includes in an additional capsule, lutein and the omega-3 fatty acid DHA. Lutein gives the capsule its characteristic color.
