The ingredients affect the hormonal background of a woman and contribute to the production of the hormone prolactin, which is responsible for normal breastfeeding and sufficient milk production. This is especially important in the first months after the birth of a child.

Carrot juice is a source of beta-carotene. This substance improves metabolic processes, increases the absorption of nutrients in the intestines, which helps to improve the quality of breast milk. In addition, the substance improves the functioning of the cardiovascular system, which has a beneficial effect on the mother's body.
