Postnatal Multivitamin with Herbs
16 reviewsA multivitamin formulated for the months after birth, in vegan capsules with a blend of herbs. If you're breastfeeding, talk it through with your health visitor or GP first.
- Herbal blend included
- 180 capsules, two months
- 3 capsules a day
- Iron and folate
- For the tiredness everyone mentions. Iron and folate contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.*
- Support through the shifts. Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity*, and biotin and vitamin B12 contribute to normal psychological function.*
- Steady fuel handling. Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.*
- A routine that's deliberately yours. Three capsules with a meal, once a day.
Built for after birth. Here's the thinking.
How is this different from a prenatal?
A prenatal is formulated around pregnancy; this one is formulated around what comes after: recovery, broken sleep and, for many women, breastfeeding. Same brand thinking, different chapter. If you're still pregnant, stay with the Prenatal Multivitamin and switch after birth.
No capsule fixes the newborn months. Sleep when you can, eat when you can, accept the help. This covers nutritional gaps while you do; your health visitor and GP cover the rest.
Why this formula
Why are there herbs in it?
The formula includes a 100 mg herbal blend alongside the vitamins and minerals, named on the label as the Breastfeeding Herbs Blend: fenugreek seed, blessed thistle, fennel extract, stinging nettle root and alfalfa leaves. Herbs are exactly the kind of ingredient to raise with your health visitor, GP or pharmacist if you're breastfeeding or taking any medicine; the full list on this page is there so that conversation is easy.
Who is this NOT for?
If you're pregnant, the Prenatal Multivitamin is the formula built for that stage; this one picks up after birth.
Benefit highlights, in full
(unedited field 4, kept for the accordion): - For the tiredness everyone mentions. Iron and folate contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue*, steady nutritional support for a stretch of life that runs on interrupted sleep. - Support through the shifts. Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity*, and biotin and vitamin B12 contribute to normal psychological function*. Quiet work, done daily. - Steady fuel handling. Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels*, background support while your days refuse to follow a schedule. - A routine that's deliberately yours. Three capsules with a meal, once a day. Small, but it's a daily moment where you're on the list too.

Questions
Can I take it while breastfeeding?
It's formulated for the months after birth, when many women are breastfeeding, and it contains herbs, which is exactly the sort of ingredient to check with your health visitor, GP or pharmacist first. Take the ingredient list on this page to that conversation.
Should I just keep taking my prenatal?
They're built for different chapters. The prenatal is formulated around pregnancy; this one around recovery and the demands after birth. Finish the stage you're in, then switch. If in doubt, your midwife or health visitor can advise on timing.
Why three capsules a day?
The daily serving is three capsules with a meal, which is how the formula carries its full nutrient and herb list. Taken once a day, one bottle of 180 lasts two months.
Will it help with the exhaustion?
Honestly: nothing on a shelf resolves newborn sleep. What the formula does is nutritional: iron and folate contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue*, steady daily support underneath everything else you're doing.
Is it vegan?
Yes, these are vegan capsules. The full ingredient list on this page is the place to check; nothing sits behind a blend name you can't inspect.
How do I actually remember it?
Tie it to a meal you reliably have, and keep it as a small moment that's yours. Feeding yourself is part of looking after your family; that's the whole idea of this bottle.
What to expect
Days 1 to 14: Nothing dramatic, and that's normal. Nutrient levels build with steady daily intake. Anchor the three capsules to the same meal, most likely the one you actually sit down for.
Weeks 4 to 8: The routine is a fixed point in unfixed days. That reliability is the real product; the nutrition works quietly underneath it.
Ongoing: One bottle is two months. The months after birth are longer than any of the baby books admit; most people set a reorder rhythm and give it one less thought.

Our in-house nutrition tip
What I look for in a postnatal formula is whether it's honest about the stage it serves. This one is: iron and folate for the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, vitamin B6 for the regulation of hormonal activity, biotin and B12 for normal psychological function, chromium for normal macronutrient metabolism, all named on the label, with the herbal blend listed in full so you can check it with your health visitor if you're breastfeeding. Three capsules with one reliable meal is the whole routine. And to be clear about what it is not: it does not replace sleep, help, or a GP visit when something feels wrong. It covers the nutritional gaps while you get through the rest.
