Galactagogue Use in Lactating Women With Low Milk Supply

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study aims to determine whether a 20-day supplement with either Oat Mama Lactation Supplement, moringa, or shatavari has any impact on milk production through an increase in serum prolactin levels when compared to the placebo group. This data will be used to determine if clinical recommendations can be made for the use of the studied supplements in increasing milk supply.
