Doppelherz Lacta +

Combination of nutrients and herbal extracts to support breast milk production

Breastfeeding a newborn is not only about supplying essential nutrients to enable growth and development. Through hormonal and sensory signals and by conveying warmth and love, breastfeeding also plays an important role in infants’ affective and cognitive development in the early years of life.

The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, in order to provide newborns with nutrients, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and immune support that are essential for healthy growth and development.
 
However, many women face issues with breastfeeding, such as low milk supply, that hinder them from following this recommendation.

In order to support a normal breast milk production, we developed Doppelherz® aktiv Lacta+ that associates herbal extracts of Anise, Dill and Fennel, with essential nutrients that improve milk nutritional quality while preventing exhaustion of mother’s nutrient reserves.

The amounts of Calcium, Iron, Iodine, Vitamin D3 and B-Vitamins that are essential for the infant in breast milk are indeed directly influenced by the mother’s diet. 

Fennel is an aromatic herb that has been traditionally used by European women to stimulate their lactation. Due to this action it is referred to as “galactologue”. Anise and Dill are also appreciated by breastfeeding women.

In addition to supplying extra nutrients, the intake of Doppelherz® aktiv Lacta+ will support proper hydration, which is necessary to sustain normal production of breast milk.
