Nourishing Your Body and Baby: Postpartum Recovery with Superfoods
Welcome, Mama!
Bringing life into the world is nothing short of miraculous, and so is your body’s ability to heal and thrive postpartum. After welcoming my baby, I found myself amazed at how my body bounced back overtime — all thanks to proper rest, deep nourishment, and the incredible support of Purium superfoods.
Throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and now in the early days of motherhood, these nutrient-dense products have been my lifeline. I want to share the science behind why they’re amazing for both mamas and babies, as well as real-life experiences (including my own!) of how they’ve made all the difference.
My Postpartum Story
12 Days Postpartum: "Birth is not unlike birthing a train out your A** — but it’s 100% worth it! Just 12 days postpartum, I was amazed at my body’s ability to bounce back with proper rest and nutrition."
4 Weeks Postpartum: "By four weeks, I was back at my regular weight, simply through rest, gentle movement like walking, and the superfoods. No crash diets, no intense workouts — just real nourishment."
Back in My Pre-Pregnancy Jeans: "At 11 weeks postpartum, I slid back into my pre-pregnancy jeans. Superfoods like Super Amino 23 and Power Shake have been my go-to for quick meals and energy while juggling motherhood."
These products supported my milk supply, boosted my energy, helped with deeper sleep, balanced my hormones, and ensured my baby and I were both thriving. And I’m not alone in these results!

These are just a few of the many stories showing how powerful true nourishment can be.
The Science Behind Postpartum Superfoods
Your body goes through massive changes postpartum, from hormonal shifts to tissue repair and nutrient depletion. And when you're breastfeeding, your nutritional needs are even greater as you provide nourishment to your baby. Let’s break down how each of these Purium products supports recovery and overall well-being for both mama and baby:
C from Nature: Natural Immune Support
C from Nature provides vitamin C from whole food sources like amla, acerola cherry, and camu camu. Unlike synthetic vitamin C, whole food vitamin C includes bioflavonoids that enhance absorption and effectiveness. Vitamin C is essential for collagen production, tissue repair, and immune support for both mom and baby. Studies show that maternal intake of vitamin C supports milk production and transfers immune-supportive properties to infants through breast milk. (Source)
Power Shake: Complete Postpartum Nutrition
This nutrient-dense blend includes organic greens and plant proteins that provide clean energy, essential minerals, and fiber. Spirulina, wheatgrass, and alfalfa are rich in chlorophyll, which supports detoxification and oxygenates cells. The shake is also a fantastic source of antioxidants, which help combat postpartum oxidative stress. For breastfeeding moms, these nutrients enhance the quality of milk and provide nourishment for the baby’s growth. (Source)
Super Amino 23: Muscle and Tissue Recovery
Super Amino 23 contains essential amino acids that are quickly absorbed by the body, supporting muscle repair, tissue recovery, and hormone regulation. Postpartum, amino acids like leucine and lysine aid in rebuilding muscle strength and reducing fatigue. These nutrients are also crucial for baby’s neurological development and growth when passed through breast milk. (Source)
Apothe-Cherry: Sleep and Inflammation Support
Tart cherry concentrate is a natural source of melatonin, which regulates sleep cycles. Postpartum moms often struggle with sleep deprivation, and taking Apothe-Cherry may improve sleep quality. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce muscle soreness and support faster recovery after childbirth. Research has shown that melatonin passes through breast milk, aiding babies in regulating their own sleep patterns. (Source)
Biome Medic: Gut Health and Emotional Balance
A balanced microbiome supports nutrient absorption, hormone regulation, and mood stability. Biome Medic contains prebiotics and probiotics that restore gut health, reducing inflammation and supporting immune function. A healthy microbiome also plays a role in regulating mood, reducing postpartum anxiety, and improving digestion for both mom and baby. Research suggests that babies inherit beneficial gut bacteria from their mothers, influencing their long-term health. (Source)
Coco Hydrate: Natural Electrolyte Replenishment
Hydration is key postpartum, especially for milk production. Coco Hydrate provides electrolytes from coconut water and natural minerals, replenishing fluids lost during delivery and supporting sustained energy. Proper hydration also prevents postpartum fatigue and enhances mental clarity. (Source)
Zinc-ADE: Hormonal and Skin Support
Zinc, along with vitamins A, D, and E, is essential for postpartum tissue repair, hormone balance, and immune function. Zinc also supports mood regulation, helping reduce postpartum anxiety. Additionally, these nutrients contribute to skin elasticity and healing, which is beneficial after childbirth. Through breast milk, they also support your baby’s skin, immune health, and development.

Kids In Focus: Calm and Cognitive Support
Formulated with herbs like eleuthero root, lemon balm, chamomile, and passionflower, Kids In Focus supports relaxation, focus, and emotional regulation. While it’s designed for children, these herbs offer gentle stress relief and cognitive support for postpartum moms. However, it is not recommended for infants. Consult with a healthcare provider before use while breastfeeding. (Source)
