Implication

Systematic review shows Moringa oleifera improves breast milk volume and prolactin levels in postpartum women, indicating its utility as a galactagogue.

Key Points

  • Moringa oleifera supplementation significantly increased breast milk volume by up to 400 mL/day.
  • Serum prolactin levels rose by a mean increase of 231.72 ng/mL with Moringa leaf supplementation.
  • A systematic search identified eight randomized controlled trials in postpartum women using Moringa oleifera.
  • Findings suggest Moringa has potential benefits for lactation, though longer-term studies are warranted.
