Brewer's yeast is well known for its milk production boosting properties. While most gluten free brewer's yeast is sourced from China, our brewer's yeast is sourced from Belgium.
Golden Flaxseed
Golden flax seeds have estrogenic properties that can help nursing mums make more milk and are also high in Omega-3 Fats.
Sunflower Lecithin
Sunflower lecithin is a natural fat emulsifier that may help to reduce the ‘stickiness’ of the milk and deter fats from clumping together and blocking milk ducts.

MCT oil can improve focus and mental clarity as well increasing the amount of MCT in breast milk. Certain types of MCTs, like lauric acid and capric acid have been shown to protect against infection and support a baby’s immune system.

Reviews
Faqs
Lactation Smoothie
Can i take the smoothies while pregnant?
Although some of our mums have taken our smoothies a few days from giving birth to nourish their body, we recommend that pregnant mums seek professional advice from their GP first to be safe as every mum's dietary and health needs are different.
Why is protein intake important whilst breastfeeding?
Protein needs are nearly 30% greater while breastfeeding than non lactating women. This is because mums burn up to 500 calories from breastfeeding.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Again, every mama is different! Most will see results within 3-4 days, some sooner, some later, and for a few, maybe not at all. Just like every mother is different, so are our breastfeeding journeys. We recommend to also practice the following along with enjoying the Lactation Protein Smoothie:
- Regular pumping and power pumping for the first 2-3 days.
- Regular latching
- Drink lots of water
What makes Hey mama different from other lactation brands?
Unlike the other brands, what makes us different is: 1) we don't just help with your milk supply, we want to make sure that we are nourishing your body with protein and superfoods so can you can feel better and more energised 2) We contain less than half amount of sugar found in other lactation products and don't use refined sugars!
Why are all Hey mama's lactation products vegan friendly, dairy and gluten free?
Most of the lactation products on the market are NOT vegan friendly dairy free or gluten free which makes it especially hard for mums with babies who have sensitive tummies.
Hydration Booster
How many can I drink per day?
We always recommend you consult your health professional when using any new supplements or nutritional products as they will be able to determine your individual needs based on your health records.
But generally as guide we recommend the following you consume 1-3 serves per day
How do I know if I'm dehydrated?
Easiest way is to look at the colour of your pee - if it's dark yellow then it's a good chance you are dehydrated. Also having dry lips, dry mouth, headaches, dizziness can also be indications of dehydration.
How much fluid should i be drinking?
If you are pregnant: It is recommended that you drink about 2.3L (around 10-12 glasses) per day.
If you are breastfeeding: It is recommended that you drink about 2.6L (12-15 glasses) per day
For everyone else: at least 2L.
Why not just drink water?
Water is the best form of hydration and everyone should be drinking a lot of it! But a lot of us don't drink enough cause we forget, we are too busy, we find it boring, we feel sick, etc. Hydrate Up was created to help with these reasons.
What makes you different from other hydration drinks?
Where should be start? There are quite a few differences:
1) Our first ingredient isn't sugar! If you read the ingredient list of other brands, the first ingredient listed is sugar/sucrose OR Flavouring. The first ingredient list in a product indicates what the bulk of the product is made with. Hydrate up is made up of 73% organic water and plant based minerals.
2) Low in sugar - only 1.3g of sugar per serve compared to over 12g of some of the popular brands.
3) No added sugar. Our hydrate up contains no added sugar and is naturally sweetened by coconut water, fruit and stevia
4) We use methylated folate not folic acid. Methylated Folate is highly bioavailable form that your body can absorb
5) Majority of our ingredients are real not processed and from real natural sources such as red algae, coconut and Australian fruit.
Can I drink these while taking prenatal vitamins?
Hydrate Up contains a small amount of folate (50 micrograms per sachet) and is designed to help support your daily requirement but not replace your supplements. As always we recommend you consult with your healthcare professional when introducing any new nutrition products or supplements
Are you drinks carbonated?
Nope but you can add sparking water instead of still water if you are looking for that fizz.
