DHC Perfect Supplement for Nursing Mothers 120 Tablets / 30 Days — Japanese Multivitamin & Mineral Complex
Overview
DHC Perfect Supplement (Lactation) is the breastfeeding-period version of DHC's all-in-one daily nutrient stack. One day's serving (4 tablets) provides 15 nutrients commonly under-supplied in postpartum diets — including folic acid, iron, calcium, zinc, DHA, lutein, β-carotene, lactoferrin, and a defined dose of lactic acid bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis FK-23). DHC formulates this SKU specifically for nursing mothers; separate Perfect Supplement SKUs exist for pregnancy and for general multivitamin use.

Who Is This For?
- Postpartum mothers who are breastfeeding and want a single daily stack instead of multiple separate supplements
- Mothers whose diets may be light on fish (DHA) or iron-rich foods
- Users wanting a tablet-form (not gummy, not powder) format that is easy to take with breakfast
- Those whose obstetrician or paediatrician has confirmed multivitamin supplementation is appropriate
How to Use
- Take 4 tablets per day at any convenient time, with water.
- Best taken with food to reduce iron-related stomach discomfort.
- Do not crush, split or chew the tablets — swallow whole.
Daily dose: 4 tablets. 1 bottle = 120 tablets = 30 days.
Tip: If you are also taking a separate iron or vitamin D prescription, consult your doctor first — to avoid overlapping doses.

Cautions
- Always consult your obstetrician or paediatrician before starting any supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- This product contains fish-derived DHA and milk-derived lactoferrin. Do not use if you have a documented fish or milk allergy.
- The lactic acid bacteria FK-23 is heat-inactivated (not live). Even so, if you have a compromised immune system or have been advised against fermented-bacteria supplements, consult your doctor.
- The capsule/tablet excipients are not formally certified vegan or halal. Lactic acid bacteria are typically grown on dairy substrates. The product is not vegetarian/vegan.
- Do not exceed the recommended 4-tablet daily dose. Fat-soluble vitamins (D, β-carotene) accumulate with overuse.
- If you are already taking a prenatal or other multivitamin, do not stack without your doctor's review — risk of double-dosing iron or vitamin D.
- Discontinue if abdominal discomfort, nausea, allergic reaction or rash appears.
- Keep out of reach of children. Store away from direct sunlight and humidity. Close the bottle tightly after each use.

FAQ
Q: How is this different from DHC Perfect Supplement for Pregnancy?
A: DHC publishes three Perfect Supplement variants: one for pregnancy (different folic acid + iron balance), one for the nursing period (this product — DHA, lactoferrin, calcium are emphasised), and a general multivitamin. The lactation version is calibrated for the breastfeeding stage; it is not designed for pre-conception or the first trimester. If you are pregnant, the Pregnancy variant is the matched SKU.
Q: Is it safe while breastfeeding? Does the iron pass to the baby?
A: DHC markets this SKU specifically for the nursing period and the dosages are calibrated under Japanese regulation. That said, every mother and baby pair is different — and only your obstetrician or paediatrician can confirm it is appropriate for your specific case. We recommend you bring the label to your check-up and review before starting.
Q: Does it replace eating actual fish, vegetables and dairy?
A: No. Supplements are designed to fill nutritional gaps, not replace real food. Continue eating a varied diet; use the supplement to cover what is harder to consistently hit during the postnatal months.
Q: Is this halal or vegan?
A: No. It contains DHA from fish, lactoferrin from milk, and lactic acid bacteria typically grown on dairy. The manufacturer does not hold a formal halal or vegan certification. If formal certification matters to you, please consult your religious authority and review the full Japanese label before purchase.
Q: Will I notice an effect?
A: Multivitamins fill gaps; they don't usually produce a noticeable single effect. The benefit is consistency over weeks — adequate iron means less fatigue, adequate B-vitamins support energy metabolism, DHA contributes to infant brain development. If you have a specific deficiency confirmed by blood test, a single-nutrient product may be a better fit.
Q: How long does shipping take and do I need to pay customs?
A: We ship from Kobe within 2–6 business days. Transit time depends on the carrier and destination — typically 4–10 days for express, longer for surface mail. Import duties and VAT may apply depending on your country.
