Hi All,
I am working with a mom who, on day 7, had a prolactin level drawn - her
level is 26.5 (she should be somewhere between 200-400). Her
Dr/nutritionist has her on the following supplements (made by Standard
Process) - 1 capsule each per day. I would like to know if anyone has any
info on any of the ingredients that could reduce prolactin levels.
She has a history of lack of ovulation and was put on the bc pill at age 18
- had no problem getting pregnant within 3 months of going off the pill.
Had NO breast changes during pregnancy and currently is pumping (8 times per
day) 10 - 15 mls per pumping (both breasts combined) and is excited when she
gets 30ml. (usually only once per 24 hours). Her average total amount
pumped per 24 hours: 3 ounces.
We have discussed domperidone - she will be talking to her Dr about that as
well as any other supplements that could increase the prolactin levels
besides domperidone.
Thank you for any input.
