Breast Milk Enhancer and Lactation Suppliment
Breast Milk Enhancer and Lactation Suppliment
Many factors play a role in the development of breast milk, but after delivery the hormone
prolactin is of primary importance to fully stimulate the alveoli for milk production. Milk
secretion is primarily controlled by oxytocin, which stimulates the myoepithelial cells to
contract and release stored milk into the ducts (i.e., milk letdown). Milk must be ejected
from the lumen of the alveoli into the milk ducts to reach the infant. Infant suckling
stimulates production of prolactin as well as oxytocin. Milk secretion continues until suckling
ends. When all of the milk is released, the breast stimulates additional milk production for
the next feeding. This feedback mechanism leads to an overall increase in supply over
time.
While the mechanism for influencing milk production through galactogogues may be
unclear it is logical to focus on increasing prolactin levels and the effect on the anterior
pituitary. Milk secretion can be influenced by other means, but milk production is the issue
for mother's unable to completely feed newborns. In clinical research, outcomes measuring
prolactin levels were considered; however, it should be recognized this is still considered a
indirect assessment of milk production. Direct assessments of milk volume and infant
weight serve as better endpoints in clinical research when assessing effects on lactation.
A common thread observed in many ingredients with positive outcomes for milk production
is the presence of steroidal saponins. These are a class of compounds found in plants that
may have direct effects upon hormones (such as prolactin) influencing milk production. This
component could serve as the focus of a new product for increasing breast milk, but
additional research would be recommended to qualify efficacy in silymarin.
