MommyToo

Series of experiments were carried out at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University of Debrecen. This clinical research proved that the Mommytoo dietary supplement positively affects the strengthening of the pelvic muscles and the speed of recovery after delivery. REF???

The unique ingredients of Mommytoo
Zinc
Zinc is the second most common trace mineral in the human body. Zinc is involved in a large variety of metabolic processes, accelerates the regeneration of connective tissues and the healing of wounds. It contributes to maintaining the normal condition of hair, skin and nails.

Leucine
Leucine is an essential amino acid (cannot be made by the body, it must come from food). Leucine is the only nutritional amino acid capable of stimulating the synthesis of muscle proteins. It enhances regeneration and prevents muscle tissue from degradation.

Omega-3 fatty acid
Omega-3 fatty acid is able to increase the production of muscle proteins, thereby enhancing muscle strength. They are beneficial both for the baby and the mother. After birth, they are important for babies in visual as well as mental development. Mommytoo contains both DHA and EPA omega fatty acids.

Postnatal vitamin
In addition to the above ingredients, Mommytoo also includes a complete postnatal vitamin tablet containing 12 different vitamins and 8 types of minerals / trace elements.

Postnatal vitamin: Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Glycinate, Microcrystalline cellulose, Ascorbic Acid, Zinc Citrate, Ferrous Fumarate, Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, D-alpha tocopherol, Manganese Sulphate, Nicotinamide, Vitamin A Palmitate, Magnesium salts of fatty acids, Fatty Acid (Stearic Acid), D-Calcium Pantothenate, Sodium Selenite, Vitamin D3, Silicon Dioxide, Copper Sulphate, Pyridoxine HCl, Thiamin HCl, Riboflavin, Potassium Iodide, Pteroylmonoglutamic acid, D-Biotin, Cyanocobalamin
Leucine tablet: L-Leucine, Gelatine Shell, Magnesium Stearate
Omega-3 soft gelatin capsules: Fish Oil softgel, Fish Oil 4030EE, Fish Oil 1050EE, Gelatin Bovine, Glycerin, Water

Why is postpartum recovery important?
During the life time of a woman the vagina, the abdominal wall and pelvic organs undergo significant changes. One of the most spectacular biological adaptations is the transformation of the pelvic floor, the pelvic floor muscles and the vagina to prepare for the labor/delivery and regenerate to normal condition after delivery. Delivery takes a huge toll on women’s pelvic floor. For example, the vagina expands significantly during delivery, and also the pelvic muscle (musculus levator ani) goes through similar expansion. The course of the expansion often (15-30%) results in severe muscular injuries that may affect the entire pelvic floor. This is true for natural birth as well as during cesarean section after labour. After normal delivery, a quarter of women suffer from a degree of incontinence, prolapse or vaginal laxity due to the weakening of the pelvic muscles. The weakened, damaged muscle can have a negative effect on sexual intercourse as well. These changes affect women’s general well-being. After further pregnancy and delivery, symptoms tend to get worse, and this can be traced back to the inadequate regeneration of pelvic floor muscles. At a younger age the body quickly regenerates the affected muscles, but later in menopause, prolapse and urinary incontinence may recur as a result of the general weakness of the connective tissue and muscles due to aging.

After delivery, it is essential that the pelvic floor muscles get back to their original condition, so regeneration after delivery should be of critically important. If any assistance can be provided for regeneration, it must be started right after delivery.
