Theralogix TheraNatal Lactation Complete – Postnatal Vitamin, NSF Certified

I live in the northern US, so worry about vitamin D levels for my babies. Our pediatrician always recommends supplementing our breastfed babies with oral vitamin D drops until they start table food. This was the most comprehensive lactation vitamin I could find, it met my need for an MTHFR friendly folate source, and was honestly much better-priced than most of what I found. I took this supplement the entire time my first (now 3 years old) nursed, and I was able to avoid supplementing him! Our pediatrician checked his blood levels at 3-4 months and said he was getting adequate supplementation through me. I'm now doing the same for my 2 month old. We'll get her blood levels checked soon, too, but I'm confident we'll have the same good results! No fishy burps or stomach upset, and my calcium levels are adequate to prevent bone decalcification (monitored due to arthritis and related concerns). My iron levels are great, too, and I'm usually anemic.

I have this product in a subscription because it’s so good. I use the maternity ones my whole pregnancy and then I use the lactation vitamins because I’m a breast-feeding mom my baby’s vitamin D is good and his iron levels are amazing. These vitamins are really good. The quality is really good. Also, I know some people say they are a little pricey, but they’re worth it.

I’ve been taking these supplements for about 2 weeks now and I feel a big difference in stamina and overall mood. I have been EFB for 6 months and I stopped taking my prenatals and started to feel my body slowly DETERIORATING…..I researched for the best quality supplement and found these across multiple cites. It’s 13 weeks worth of supplements and 3 pills a day: purple white and yellow I forgot what each one was but they are surprisingly easy to swallow all together. I saw someone do it and tried and had an easier time taking 3 at a time than I did my Natures Made prenatal! I also added calcium and magnesium from PURE but I haven’t been as consistent with those as I have with these. The main reason I started taking these was because I could feel my teeth becoming more sensitive due to breastfeeding and not having enough nutrients in my body. I’ve been experience some depressive symptoms due to sleep deprivation and lost a lot of motivation to care for myself and so my body was pulling nutrients from my bones… After 2 weeks I no longer feel teeth or joint sensitivity. My mood is relatively stable and I have much more energy now. If I ever become pregnant again I will make this brand my go to for prenatal care.

Somewhat expensive. The vitamins themselves seem fine, no complaints there. But the packaging? Absolutely terrible. I honestly cannot get over how frustrating it is. Who thought it was a good idea to make something this difficult for already busy, exhausted new moms to deal with every single day? It feels like the company didn’t think this through at all. On top of that, the vitamin D gel capsule practically melts into the packaging, which makes it damn near impossible to get out without destroying it. The whole setup is just unnecessary hassle. Theralogix, please figure out a better system. Until then, I’m not sure I can justify sticking with this brand.

I love that this has the d pill and fish oil pill (taste taken away by taking directly before a meal) to go with postnatal medication. That means I'm getting enough dha (not really a fish eater) and I don't have to give my baby a daily dose of vitamin d drops. I also have more energy than I did before ordering these. When I skip a day I am slacking in everything and I haven't been sick more than once and I am usually sick almost all season of the turn over from summer to fall. I am so impressed with this that I'm ordering it again and will continue to the whole time I breastfeed. Update: I am sad that this is unavailable now. I had to hunt it down! Lol. For those of you looking for this it is on theralogix.com for the same price and free shipping.

BUYER BEWARE: this product is not returnable. I took these vitamins for the first time and woke up in the night with stomach cramps and diarrhea. I tried to initiate a return and was informed that was not possible. So I'm stuck with expensive vitamins that make me sick.

Great for postpartum! I shed less hair when using these. I used it with my 3rd baby and I noticed a difference.

It’s a good product I guess? It’s hard to know with supplements but it doesn’t make me sick or anything. However, I will 100% NOT re-order when I’m done with this supply simply because of the packaging. The blister packed strips for each day of the week are very difficult to get apart and the part you pull back to get to the pills is also a pain. I’d rather just have 3 separate bottles to take the pills out of.
