Benefits

Oats - beta-glucan is found in oats: Beta-glucan is a type of fibre that's thought to raise the levels of breastfeeding hormone prolactin. Higher prolactin levels can have a positive effect on breast milk

Milk's Up - contains fennel, nettle, fenugreek seeds, lemon verbena and aniseed . These are all herbs which have been used for millennia to support lactation, but they also taste delicious! Fennel and fenugreek have the strongest links to increasing milk supply in research.
