Femibion 3 Lactation is vitamins for breastfeeding after birth: With folic acid plus*, choline, DHA. After birth and during breastfeeding, your baby begins a period of remarkable growth. Since nutrients are transferred through breast milk during breastfeeding, maternal nutrition has a significant impact on the breastfed infant.
- Nutritional supplements during breastfeeding
- With folate (folic acid and Metafolin®), vitamin A, iron, calcium, the omega-3 fatty acid DHA and other vitamins and minerals
- Combo pack includes 28 capsules and 28 tablets
- 8 week pack - 1 capsule and 1 tablet daily
Femibion 3 contains:
- Omega-3 fatty acid DHA to support the normal development of the baby's brain¹ ¹Maternal intake of DHA (omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid) contributes to normal brain and eye development in the fetus and breastfed infant. The beneficial effect of DHA occurs when 200 mg of DHA is consumed daily in addition to the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids for adults (ie 250 mg of DHA and EPA).
- Folic Acid Plus² (a combination of folic acid and L-methylfolate) ²Folic Acid Plus is a combination of folic acid and L-methylfolate. L-methylfolate is a form of folate that can be used directly by the body.
- Choline and other selected nutrients tailored to your breastfeeding period. Choline is an essential nutrient with an increased need during breastfeeding³ ³EFSA Journal 2016;14(8):4484;

Folic Acid Plus (Combination of folic acid andL-methylfolate) |
400 µg (consisting of 200 µg folic acid and 208 µg L‑methylfolate) |
Did you know that your folate needs are about 50% higher than women who are not breastfeeding¹? The amount of folate excreted in your breast milk must be balanced and an adequate folate status maintained. Folate supports normal blood formation in your body and has a function in cell division. Therefore, it is important that you ensure you have an adequate folate intake while breastfeeding. |
| Choline | 130mg | Choline is a vitamin-like nutrient and is often assigned to the group of B vitamins. You absorb choline through your food - foods that contain choline include meat, eggs and fish. When you are breastfeeding, your body has an increased need for choline to compensate for the loss through your breast milk. Femibion® 3 Breastfeeding supports the sufficient absorption of choline. |
| Vitamin B1 | 1.2mg | Vitamin B1 contributes to the maintenance of your normal energy metabolism and the normal functioning of your nervous system. |
| Vitamin B2 | 2.0mg | Vitamin B2 contributes to the maintenance of your normal energy metabolism and the normal functioning of your nervous system. |
| Pantothenic acid | 7.0mg | Pantothenic acid helps you reduce tiredness and fatigue and maintain your normal energy metabolism. |
| Vitamin B6 | 1.7mg | Vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It helps you maintain your normal energy metabolism. |
| Vitamin B12 | 5.0 µg | Vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It helps you maintain your normal energy metabolism. |
| Biotin | 45 µg | Biotin contributes to the maintenance of your normal energy metabolism and the normal functioning of your nervous system. |
| niacin | 18mg | Niacin helps you reduce tiredness and fatigue. |
| iron | 14mg | Iron has a role in cell division in your body and helps reduce tiredness. It contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin after your pregnancy. |
| Vitamin A | 530 µg | Did you know that while breastfeeding, your vitamin A requirement increases by 100% compared to non-breastfeeding women to compensate for the loss in your breast milk²? Femibion® 3 Breastfeeding contains 530 μg vitamin A per tablet. |
| Vitamin C | 70mg | Vitamin C in Femibion® 3 Breastfeeding helps to increase your body's absorption of iron. Vitamin C also supports the normal function of your immune system. |
| Vitamin D | 20 µg | During your pregnancy, it is important for your general health that your immune system functions normally. This can be supported by adequate vitamin D status. How do you achieve this? Vitamin D is naturally found in very few foods and you can only get 10-20% of your vitamin D needs from your diet. 80-90% is produced by your skin when it is exposed to the sun. However, various factors such as the season, time of day, air pollution, clothing or lifestyle can affect this production in your body and lead to an inadequate vitamin D supply. In fact, vitamin D deficiency is widespread worldwide. Current data suggest that 40% of Europeans suffer from vitamin D deficiency.³ |
| Vitamin E | 4.8mg | Vitamin E helps protect your cells from oxidative stress. Oxidation is a normal and necessary process that takes place in your body. Oxidative stress, on the other hand, occurs when there is an imbalance between the activity of free radicals and that of antioxidants. Antioxidants (such as vitamin E) are therefore necessary to protect your body's cells from oxidative stress. |
| iodine | 150 µg | Did you know that your need for iodine increases while breastfeeding? This is because the baby's needs must be met and iodine losses in your breast milk must be replaced. Iodine contributes to the production of thyroid hormones and the normal function of your thyroid. The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) recommends taking daily food supplements containing 100-150 μg of iodine during pregnancy and breastfeeding⁴. However, if you have thyroid disorders, you should consult your doctor before taking food supplements containing iodine. |
| zinc | 9.0mg | Zinc is an important trace element and contributes to the maintenance of your immune system, normal hair and nails. It also helps protect your cells from oxidative stress. Oxidation is a normal and necessary process that takes place in your body. Oxidative stress, on the other hand, occurs when there is an imbalance between the activity of free radicals and that of antioxidants. Therefore, antioxidants are necessary to protect your body cells from oxidative stress. According to the European Food Safety Authority, the need for zinc is increased during breastfeeding, which is due to zinc losses in breast milk. |
| selenium | 45 µg | Selenium is needed for various functions in your body. It supports the normal function of your thyroid and immune system, contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails, and helps protect your cells from oxidative stress. According to the European Food Safety Authority, your physiological selenium requirement increases by 20% during breastfeeding due to selenium losses in your breast milk to replace the selenium excreted in breast milk⁵. Therefore, Femibion® 3 Breastfeeding contains selenium to support your adequate nutrient supply. |
| copper | 0.9mg | Copper helps protect your cells from oxidative stress. Oxidation is a normal and necessary process that occurs in your body. Oxidative stress, on the other hand, occurs when there is an imbalance between the activity of free radicals and that of antioxidants. Antioxidants are therefore necessary to protect your body's cells from oxidative stress. |
| Calcium | 160mg | Calcium is the most abundant mineral in your body and supports important physiological processes and functions. Calcium also plays a role in your cell division and helps maintain your normal energy metabolism. Its best known function is that it is needed to maintain normal bones and teeth. Breastfeeding affects your bones: Several hormonal changes cause 5-10% bone loss to provide calcium for your breast milk. However, this bone loss during breastfeeding is usually replenished within a few months after weaning. You don't need to worry about breastfeeding having long-term effects on your bones, but you should still make sure you get enough calcium while breastfeeding. |
| Omega-3 DHA | 200mg | The accumulation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in your baby's retina and brain begins in the second half of pregnancy and continues throughout breastfeeding. When you take Omega-3 DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), it contributes to the normal brain and eye development of the fetus and breastfed infant. You should therefore take an additional 200 mg of DHA in addition to the daily recommended intake of 250 mg of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) for adults. |

* Supplemental folic acid intake increases folate levels in pregnant women. Low folate levels in pregnant women are a risk factor for the development of neural tube defects in the developing fetus. To prevent this, an additional 400 μg of folic acid should be taken daily for a period of at least one month before and up to three months after conception. Neural tube defects are caused by several risk factors. Changing one risk factor may or may not have a positive effect.
