IMPORTANT NOTICE: Breast-feeding. A well-balanced diet, both during pregnancy and after delivery, helps sustain an adequate supply of breastmilk. After delivery, breast-feeding provides the best nutrition and protection from illness for your baby. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended during the first 6 months of life followed by the introduction of adequate nutritious complementary foods, along with sustained breastfeeding (or replacement feeding, when breastfeeding is not possible) for up to two years of age and beyond. For advice on breast-feeding, consult your doctor or other health professionals.

Before using any supplement for pregnant and lactating women, please consult your healthcare professional on suitable nutritional supplements.
