Remember supplements will NOT make up for poor diet but the right ones can make a huge difference to recovering quicker, feeling more energy and just maximising how you feel after the 10 month marathon you've just run or growing and birthing a human.
The supps I've been taking daily + reasons for why they're so useful π
If you're 2 months or 2 years post, adding these to a good diet can really help if you've got a prolapse or separation that's not healing despite doing the right exercises, if you're still feeling depleted (not just sleep related) or if you've got gut and immune issues.
*Algal Oil - did you know fish contain good omega-3 fats because they eat algae?? Going straight to the source makes for a vegan, more environmentally friendly source than taking fish oil supps. You can also take cod liver oil or increase your intake of wild caught fish to help boost this important nutrient needed for smarter babies, cell & skin health and healthier breastmilk - I get mine from
*Probiotics - not all probiotics are created equal! You need one that contains bacterial strains that have actually been shown to be beneficial for pregnant, lactating mums and babies who were born via C section or aren't breastfed. Many store bought probiotics have lots of strains that have no evidence to help anything so you need to be selective.
*Iron + lactobacillus plantarum 299v & vit C: super new research that showed this strain helps increase iron absorption, plus vit c which does the same. Iron tends to be one of the major nutrients depleted post baby, which makes sense considering their first 6 months store is taken from you.
*Encapsulated placenta capsules - yes, these are bubs' placenta which have been made into tablets. I took these with my first too and they're supposed to help with post partum blues, energy and healing. A placenta looks a lot like liver and we all know how nutrient filled that organ is. I used Mothers In Arms Placenta Encapsulation who is based on the Sunny Coast.
*Collagen + Vit C: takes this to help his shoulder tendonitis and it makes sense postpartum
Note: Always start with diet, as a nutrient dense and targeted diet can cover the most of these! Daily i try to include:
- 1-2 pastured/ organic eggs
- grass fed ghee, lard or cream
- grass fed meat from my local farmers (I head to Kawana Farmers market each Saturday which has a great playground for kids)
- plenty of filtered water, this can include tea like Dandy chai, raspberry leaf or mushroom blend (contain adaptogens safe for lactating mums)
- fermented veg
