Frequent Questions

Essential Postnatal is formulated for the new nutrient demands on a mother for 6 months postpartum and throughout lactation.* The postpartum period is commonly defined as the time from birth up to 6 months post-birth. We recommend Essential Postnatal to women for 6 months after giving birth or for as long as they plan to breastfeed or pump.*

1-Month Subscription: Enjoy automatic delivery of a 15 day supply every 30 days with free shipping for convenient, consistent replenishment. All subscriptions renew automatically, but you’re always in control. You can pause, skip, change your delivery date, or cancel anytime from your Account Page.

Supporting new nutrient demands on a mother for 6 months postpartum and throughout lactation is what’s important. While many people feel a difference, some don’t, and that’s okay. It’s what’s happening inside that counts. Calcium-helper nutrients D3, K2, Magnesium, and Boron help support bone health, while Iron, Folate, and vitamin B12 contribute to red blood cell formation. Vitamins A, C & D help contribute to normal immune function, and Biotin, Iodine, and zinc support metabolic demand.*

The bottle for Essential Postnatal is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and is made of #1 PET plastic, which is highly recyclable curbside. The caps on our multivitamin bottles are #5 and are made of polypropylene.

Additionally, your first month is shipped in a recyclable box, and recurring orders are shipped in mailers made from 100% recycled content (the paper used to make our mailers is 100% garbage-repurposed newsprint and plant fibers). Any collateral included is also made of 100% recycled materials.
