In the months following birth, your body is working to repair and replenish the resources that are depleted during pregnancy. Taking a postnatal vitamin is essential to the health of mothers and breastfed babies and it’s especially important for mothers who follow a vegan lifestyle. We developed a 100% vegan postnatal vitamin to support the recovery and health of postpartum moms – shop here.
The Benefits of Vegan Postnatal Vitamins
It’s no secret that the key to a healthy vegan life is supplementation. We can get all kinds of nutrients from the foods we eat, but vegan supplements can help make up for the nutritional gaps that occur when we cut out animal products. When it comes to life after pregnancy, a high-quality vegan postnatal vitamin not only provides key nutrients that new moms struggle to get, but also can assist with things like supporting milk supply, energy levels, and recovery following childbirth.

Postnatal Vitamins Support Both Mom and Baby*
There are several ways that our postnatal supplement supports both mom and baby. Along with aiding in the maintenance of healthy digestion, the supplement also works to promote healthy red blood cell development.
It’s typically recommended that mothers should take postnatal vitamins for at least 6 months postpartum, but we always recommend that you speak directly with your doctor before taking supplements of any kind during and after pregnancy.
