Noticing hair loss after childbirth? Postpartum telogen effluvium, triggered by hormonal shifts, affects 30–50% of new mothers, peaking 3–6 months post-delivery. Most cases resolve naturally, but thyroid checks may be needed if persistent.

Supporting your pregnancy with the right supplements is key. Folic acid (400–800 mcg daily) reduces neural tube defects, while iron supports oxygen transport, and omega-3s aid foetal brain development. Always consult your OBGYN, as excess supplementation can pose risks.

Not sure what’s right for you? Book a consultation to create your personalised prenatal supplement plan.
