POST PARTUM CARE FOR MOTHERS
Nutrition plays a crucial role in the postpartum period, supporting the health and well-being of new mothers as they recover from childbirth and adapt to the demands of caring for their newborn. During this time, the body undergoes significant changes, and providing adequate nutrients is essential for replenishing energy levels, promoting healing, and supporting overall maternal health.
One key aspect of postpartum nutrition is ensuring an adequate intake of essential nutrients. Pregnancy and childbirth can deplete the body's nutrient stores, and replenishing them is vital for optimal recovery. Nutrients such as iron, calcium, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and folate are particularly important during this phase. Iron aids in replenishing blood loss, calcium supports bone health, vitamin D assists with immune function, omega-3 fatty acids contribute to brain health, and folate aids in tissue repair.
Proper nutrition also aids in breastfeeding, which is often a primary source of nourishment for newborns. A well-balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods helps ensure an adequate supply of breast milk and supports the nutritional needs of both the mother and the baby.
Additionally, adequate nutrition can positively impact a mother's mental and emotional well-being during the postpartum period. Nutrients like B vitamins, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids are known to support mood and reduce the risk of postpartum depression. Consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats provides the necessary nutrients to support mental and emotional health.
It's important for postpartum moms to prioritize self-care and nourish their bodies with nutritious foods. We have created this bundle to get you nourished. By prioritizing proper nutrition, postpartum moms can enhance their recovery, promote overall well-being, and provide the foundation for a healthy and fulfilling postpartum journey.

Optimal Omega PURE
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential, which means the body cannot produce them and they must be obtained from foods or supplements. The standard American diet is very high in omega-6s but low in omega-3s as a result of industrialized farming practices and modern food processing technology.
Correcting this imbalance through foods and supplements may be beneficial for the entire body.
Optimal Omega PURE provides a potent 1300 mg of omega-3 fatty acids in order to support an optimal body balance of these beneficial fatty acids.
This formula features natural enzymatically enhanced MaxSimil® monoglyceride fish oil that has a three times greater EPA/DHA absorption rate than an equivalent dose of ethyl ester fish oil.
Due to the fact that monoglyceride oils are intrinsically emulsifiers and are, by nature, in a readily absorbable form, they can bypass the body’s normal fat digestion process. These qualities make Optimal Omega PURE an excellent method for delivering omega-3 fatty acids, especially to individuals with digestive, pancreatic, or gall bladder challenges.
Studies show that MaxSimil fish oils (FO) have three times (300%) greater absorption of EPA and DHA compared to other leading fish oils. This means you only have to take 1-2 softgels of Optimal Omega PURE to equal 3000-4000mg of another brand of Omega3.
Recommended dosing is 1-2 softgels daily with food.
Proper fatty acid ratios may help support*:
- Healthy joint function
- Healthy immune function and a normal inflammatory response
- Skin and hair hydration
- Eye health/hydration
- Cardiovascular health
- Healthy moods and balanced emotions
- Healthy glucose and insulin metabolism
- Healthy cell membranes
- Cognitive function, memory, and brain health

Optimal D
Optimal Vitamin D is a highly bioavailable vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), providing 5000 IU per softgel. Research suggests vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) as being the most important form in humans. Since we produce much of our natural vitamin D transdermally (through the skin) via sunlight exposure, it is imperative that oral supplementation of vitamin D come in the form of D3 as this is the most bioavailable form of vitamin D in a softgel, maximizing its absorption into the body.
Much of the vitamin D we obtain comes from direct exposure to sunlight, and spending a significant amount of time indoors (and away from sunlight) can lead to low levels of vitamin D in the body. Thus, supplementation with Optimal Vitamin D can help ensure users obtain adequate amounts of this key micronutrient.
Benefits*:
- Supports cardiovascular function
- Supports healthy mood and stress levels
- Supports bone and skin tissues
- Supports immune function

Pro Reds 30 Fruit Punch Powder
Nutritional Frontiers’ Pro Powders are all-natural fruit and vegetable-based juice powders, fortified with specific nutrients to target specific systems. These formulations are gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, vegetarian formulas that are free from herbicides and pesticides. Fruits and vegetables are necesssary components of a healthy diet. They contain powerful plant compounds known as phytochemicals which perform numerous functions throughout the body. Sometimes people find it difficult to attain the recommended 5-7 servings of produce a day, and that’s where Pro Reds and other Pro Powders by Nutritional Frontiers come in. Pro Reds contains the following array of health-promoting produce: orange, carrot, beet, apple, berries, acerola, watermelon, cranberry, pomegranate, black cherries, papaya, plum, peach, broccoli, collards, spinach, and grapefruit.
In addition to fruits and vegetables, Pro Reds features added nutrients and herbs such as the antioxidants quercetin, milk thistle grape seed extract, resveratrol, green tea, and more. Antioxidants battle damage from free radicals, which are believed to play a role in numerous health conditions like aging, cancer, and atherosclerosis. Resveratrol is an antioxidant that boasts variety of potentially therapeutic applications in inflammation, cancer, aging, & diabetes.* Green tea (Camellia sinensis) contains polyphenols and flavonoids (like EGCG) which reduce inflammation & oxidative stress. Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is utilized to regulate liver function and has been shown to manage non-alcoholic and alcoholic liver damage, cirrhosis, fatty liver, and exposure to chemical pollutants. Its active constituent, silybin, acts as an antioxidant. Quercetin has been studied for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, and anti-viral activity along with immune modulation.*
For brain and nervous system health* Pro Reds boasts inositol, phosphatidylserine (from sunflower lecithin), and the omega-3 fatty acid-rich flax seed. Inositol, classified as a B-vitamin, has been used clinically to help those with anxiety and/or depression.* Phosphatidylserine has been examined for its effects on mood, memory, and cognition especially in elderly populations. Flax seed contains essential fatty acids which are anti-inflammatory and sustain healthy cell membranes.*
L-Carnitine and CoQ10 comprise important elements of Pro Reds to assist cardiovascular health.* CoQ10 is an antioxidant which assists in the formation of the basic energy molecule ATP. L-Carnitine helps restore mitochondrial content. It also may play a role in improving insulin resistance, glucose tolerance, and arterial hypertension.
Pro Reds provides arabinogalactans and N,N-Dimethylglycine (DMG) for immune support. DMG, a derivative of the amino acid glycine, was patented over three decades ago for treating systemic inflammatory disease, modulating immune response, and boasts in vitro evidence of antioxidant effects via free radical scavenging activity and enhancement of the endogenous antioxidant defense system.
Pro Reds includes bilberry, Lutemax®2020, astaxanthin, and concentrated lycopene from LycoBeads®. Bilberry fruit contains anthocyanosides: plant pigments rich in antioxidants. Anthocyanosides strengthen blood vessels, improve circulation, prevent platelet aggregation, and enhance rhodopsin production which improves night vision. Lutemax®2020 is a patented marigold flower extract containing the macular carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. Taking antioxidant pigments as supplements correlates with increased levels of macular pigment measured in the retina and may also improve visual function.* Research on Lutemax®2020 has also shown decreased cortisol levels and increased BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), a protein that supports neuronal health. Lycopene (found in LycoBeads®) is red carotenoid concentrated in the human body in serum, liver, adrenal glands, lungs, prostate, colon, and skin. Lycopene acts to protect cells from oxidative stress, as well as inhibit cell proliferation.*
Pro Reds has added fiber as Fibersol®-2. Fibersol®-2 is a soluble fiber comprised of a digestion-resistant maltodextrin. Fiber serves many purposes, including binding toxins in the intestines to aid in detoxification, helping glucose and lipid control, and supporting proper bowel function, regularity, fecal volume, and beneficial intestinal micro flora. What makes Fibersol®-2 unique is that it is so soluble and less dense than other fibers that it mixes in¬stantly and does not cause bloating or intestinal gas, like other fiber products. Fibersol®-2 is not only well-tolerated but also results in favorable fermentation characteristics in the large bowel, assisting production of the short chain fatty acid butyrate which is the preferred fuel source of colon cells.
Pro Reds can be mixed simply with water, juice, smoothie, or any beverage. Pro powders are convenient: they do not spoil, like the produce rotting in your fridge; you don’t have to worry about what’s in season; and they taste great, ensuring compliance for “picky” eaters!
