Iron
Pregnancy raises iron demand and birth involves blood loss. Iron contributes to normal red blood cell formation and oxygen transport. Needs differ from mother to mother, so amount and form matter more than a big number.

Every ingredient in Postpartum Daily has a reason to be there. This page explains what each one does, in the plain nutrient-function language that can appear on a licensed Canadian label.
Pregnancy raises iron demand and birth involves blood loss. Iron contributes to normal red blood cell formation and oxygen transport. Needs differ from mother to mother, so amount and form matter more than a big number.
Learn moreMethylfolate, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 participate in normal energy metabolism, red blood cell formation and homocysteine metabolism. Folate here is L-methylfolate, the active form.
Learn moreCholine is an essential nutrient involved in cell-membrane structure and neurotransmitter synthesis. It is one of the most discussed nutrients in pregnancy and lactation, and many diets fall short of recommended intakes.
Learn moreDHA and EPA are the omega-3 fatty acids most discussed in maternal nutrition. Source, amount, purity and freshness matter, and the final label will show exactly what is included.
Learn moreIodine is required for normal thyroid hormone production. Maternal intake also contributes to the iodine available in breast milk, so it is a routine consideration during lactation.
Learn moreVitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and contributes to normal bone and immune function. Season, sun exposure and diet all change how much a mother gets, which is why it appears in most postnatal formulas.
Learn moreMagnesium takes part in hundreds of enzymatic reactions, including normal muscle and nerve function. Zinc contributes to normal immune function and tissue maintenance. Intake of both is frequently below recommendations.
The strains and colony counts under evaluation will be listed on the final label. Probiotic statements will follow the licensed wording exactly.
