Proceive® Breastfeeding

Proceive Breastfeeding is designed to help support the increased nutritional needs of mothers during the breastfeeding stage. Breastfeeding places additional demands on the body, as nutrients are used to support both your own wellbeing and the nutritional needs of your baby.
The formula provides carefully selected vitamins and minerals to help support mothers nutritionally during this time. While a balanced diet is always the goal, many mothers find it difficult to consistently meet these higher nutrient needs while caring for a newborn. Proceive Breastfeeding helps provide nutritional reassurance during this demanding stage, helping support your body as it recovers after pregnancy.

Proceive Breastfeeding is designed for mothers who are breastfeeding and want to support their nutritional needs during this stage. It can also be taken by mothers after giving birth even if they are not breastfeeding, to help support recovery and overall nutritional wellbeing after pregnancy.

We recommend taking Proceive Breastfeeding in the morning with food, usually after breakfast.

Breastfeeding places increased nutritional demands on the body, as mothers need to support both their own health and the nutritional needs of their baby. While a balanced diet is always the goal, many mothers find it difficult to consistently meet these higher nutrient needs while adjusting to life with a newborn.
Proceive Breastfeeding is designed to act as a nutritional safety net, helping provide key vitamins and minerals to support wellbeing during this demanding stage.

Proceive Breastfeeding is a comprehensive product with all the nutrients you need there is no need to take any additional products unless directed by a Health Care Professional. The one exception is Omega 3 if you do not eat oily fish twice a week.
We recommend Proceive Omega 3, this is a high strength pure omega 3 designed to complement the Proceive product range.

Proceive Breastfeeding can be started after your baby is born and while you are breastfeeding. The formula is designed to help support the increased nutritional needs of mothers during the breastfeeding stage and support your body as it heals and recovers after birth.

Breastfeeding places increased nutritional demands on the body, and many mums find it challenging to meet these needs through diet alone. Proceive Breastfeeding provides comprehensive nutritional support for this stage, including vitamins and minerals such as iron, B vitamins, iodine and vitamin D, which help support normal energy metabolism and overall wellbeing.
The formula is designed to help support mothers nutritionally during breastfeeding while also contributing to the normal nutritional needs of both mum and baby.

Hair shedding after pregnancy is very common and is often linked to hormonal changes and the increased nutritional demands placed on the body during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Proceive Breastfeeding provides targeted nutritional support for this stage, including selenium, which contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
The formula also contains key nutrients such as biotin, zinc and B vitamins, which play important roles in supporting normal hair and overall wellbeing. While postpartum hair shedding is usually temporary, ensuring good nutritional support during the breastfeeding period can help support your body as it recovers after pregnancy.

You can continue taking Proceive Breastfeeding as it provides comprehensive nutritional support. Many mothers also choose to transition to Proceive Every Mum, which is designed to support energy, immunity and overall wellbeing after the breastfeeding stage.

Yes, Proceive products provide folate in the active form known as methylfolate (L-methylfolate). Methylfolate is the bioavailable form of folate, meaning it is already in the form the body can use directly. For this reason, in 2020 Proceive moved fully to methylfolate across the range to ensure our formulas provide folate in its most effective form.
Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and plays an important role in cell division, which is why it is an important nutrient when trying to conceive and during pregnancy.
