FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Don't forget the 3 golden rules: check that the latch and suction are correct, that you have a correct frequency of breast offering and trust your body!
Are your products natural?
One of our brand pillars is the nature of the ingredients. As moms, we look for real, naturally derived ingredients that won't harm our bodies and those of our babies. For your peace of mind, we have a quality department that ensures compliance with company policies. Our suppliers are certified, free of allergens, pesticides and contaminants.

When do products expire?
For Lactamás capsules the shelf life is 2 years.
The expiration date can be found on the side label. We recommend keeping the container tightly closed and storing it at room temperature in a cool place, without much humidity.
How long does it take to see results?
The effects are not instantaneous. You will be able to see results after 4 to 6 days in a row. Remember to drink plenty of water (8 glasses or 2 liters daily) and comply with the recommended dose.
It is normal to feel frustrated when not seeing results in the first days of use, but remember that being relaxed and having confidence in yourself are both key when breastfeeding.
Remember that the product does not work without the 3 golden rules: check that the latch and suction are correct, that you have a correct frequency of breast offering and trust your body!
What can I do if I feel that it is not working for me?
Although our products have helped many moms, the effects are not the same for everyone. Each body is different, and it is normal that sometimes you do not see the same result.
Since there is no one solution that works for everyone, we recommend trying our variety of products and seeing which one works best for you.
Don't forget to consult your doctor and/or lactation consultant since there are multiple causes of hypogalactia (low milk production), as well as problems for the baby to suck.
The frequency with which you give or express milk also alters the volume you have. The more milk you take or give, the more you will produce. The same goes the other way around, if you stop expressing milk at night or during the day, your production may decrease, even if you take the product.
Sometimes we suggest increasing the frequency of feedings or trying the 'power pumping' technique to signal to your body that you need to increase the volume of milk.
If even after trying the product for 7 days you do not see results, write us an email to hola@lactana.com.mx . Our Lactation Consultant can try to support you.
I forgot to take the capsules before each meal, can I take them after or between meals?
You can take the products after meals or between meals. We recommend before so that they can begin to take effect faster without interfering with food.
What is the recommended dosage? What happens if I take more or less?
For an ideal effect we recommend taking:
6 capsules or 3 tea sachets a day.
If you forget to take a dose during the day, do not take it together with the next one but continue with 2 capsules or 1 tea only and set a reminder for the next day!
We recommend that you space out the capsules and teas during the day so that you have the effect all day. For this reason, the recommendation is in the morning, lunch and dinner, but you can adjust it to your schedule as best suits you.
I am pregnant and lactating. Can I use your products?
No, the products are not designed to be consumed during pregnancy. If you are pregnant and breastfeeding, consult your doctor.
Are the products allergen free?
Yes, our products are vegan, dairy, gluten, soy and nut free. No ingredient used is genetically modified.
