Meet moringa—aka the “Miracle Tree.”
Rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and protein, it’s been used for centuries across tropical regions to support women postpartum and boost milk supply.
One small clinical study showed moms who took moringa produced about 47% more milk by Day 3 than those on a placebo, and many continued breastfeeding exclusively through six months—a milestone many strive for.
Moringa contains natural compounds—flavonoids, polyphenols, and vital nutrients like iron and calcium—that nourish mom and baby while gently supporting prolactin and oxytocin, the hormones that trigger milk production and let-down.
Moms often report noticeable increases in supply within just a few days, with no known side effects for mom or baby.
Plus, it’s easy to add to daily life: mix the powder into a smoothie, stir it into soups, or take it as a capsule—simple and effective.
Moringa is a gentle, natural galactagogue with centuries of traditional use and growing scientific support.
It’s nutrient-rich and easy to include in your daily routine, offering a promising way to support milk supply with minimal fuss.
If you're curious, check in with your healthcare provider or lactation consultant—but many moms find this “superfood” a comforting addition to their breastfeeding journey.
