Biotin
Why you need it
Women need more biotin during breastfeeding than any other stage of life.
Biotin is best known as the ‘beauty’ vitamin, for healthy hair, skin and nails. It’s real super power is as a co-enzyme in important metabolic processes — like turning carbohydrates into energy and synthesising fatty acids like Omega 3 DHA.
If you’re experiencing postpartum hair loss, ensuring your daily biotin intake may help. You can also say hello to a good mood, healthy skin, more energy and a healthy metabolism.
