Vegan Breastfeeding + Omega-3 DHA | 600mg Calcium | APOKRA
Your complete postnatal multivitamin + Omega-3 — no separate fish-oil capsule.
Most postnatal routines mean a multivitamin plus a separate omega-3 capsule — and many under-dose on calcium just when a breastfeeding mum needs it most. APOKRA builds it all in: 21 nutrients, 600 mg calcium and algae omega-3 in just 2 tablets a day. Every delivery is a full 3-month supply.

Most postnatals mean tablets plus a separate fish-oil capsule — and too little calcium. We fixed both.
A standard postnatal routine usually means a multivitamin, a separate omega-3 capsule on top, and often not enough calcium for the demands of breastfeeding. APOKRA combines everything — including clinically studied Omega-3 DHA/EPA and 600 mg of calcium — into just 2 tablets a day.

*AvailOm® Omega-3 absorption studied in a published human study (Manusama et al., PLEFA, 2021; 164:102232).
An Omega-3 studied for how well it's absorbed
Our Omega-3 uses AvailOm®, which binds the fatty acids to the amino acid L-lysine. In a published human study it was shown to be over 5× more bioavailable and more rapidly absorbed than standard fish-oil capsules.
Omega-3 DHA contributes to the normal brain and eye development of breastfed infants, passing through your breast milk — so better absorption means more of the DHA your baby needs. It also helps avoid the fishy reflux and aftertaste of traditional fish oil.*
*A beneficial effect is obtained with a maternal intake of 200 mg DHA in addition to the 250 mg daily recommended intake of DHA and EPA. Ref: Manusama et al., PLEFA, 2021; 164:102232.
High in calcium — 600 mg, for nursing mums
Breastfeeding places high demands on your calcium stores, because calcium passes through your breast milk to your baby. Each daily serving gives 600 mg of calcium — 75% of the recommended daily amount — alongside Vitamin D3, which supports normal calcium absorption.
Calcium and Vitamin D contribute to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. So while your body works hard to nourish your baby, your own bones are looked after too.
600 mg of calcium provides 75% of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV).
From algae, not fish
Our Omega-3 is grown from sustainable marine algae (Schizochytrium sp.) in a controlled environment — not harvested from the ocean. That means it's fish-free, allergen-free and free from heavy metals, so there's no mercury or contaminant risk passing into your breast milk.
We also provide Vitamin A as betacarotene, not retinol — the gentle plant-based form your body converts only as needed — and leave out titanium dioxide, added sugar, gelatin, lactose and artificial colours.
21 nutrients, in just 2 tablets a day
A complete, pharmacist-formulated postnatal. Below are key nutrients in every daily serving (2 tablets).
