Moringa mama - Jolly Mama

About Moringa mama

Jolly Mama is a French brand that rethinks nutrition for women before, during and after pregnancy. Its formulas are developed with experts and have already been adopted by more than 200,000 mamas.

Moringa mama is an organic capsule food supplement designed for the breastfeeding period. Its formula combines two plants, moringa and shatavari, the latter helping to maintain a good flow of breast milk.

What sets this moringa supplement apart is its dosage: 350 mg of organic moringa in just 2 capsules. Jolly Mama also made a deliberate choice, leaving out fenugreek and fennel, two plants that are very common in breastfeeding capsules.

The key points of Moringa mama:

• Organic moringa dosed at 350 mg per 2 capsules
• Shatavari to maintain a good flow of breast milk
• 100% organic, vegan and free from additives
• No fenugreek and no fennel
• Made in France, gluten free

It is aimed at mothers who breastfeed, exclusively or partially, and who want to support their lactation alongside a varied diet. Jolly Mama stays honest on one point: a galactagogue never replaces a good latch or breastfeeding on demand. The product is suitable for breastfeeding and the postpartum period, but is not recommended during pregnancy.

What is in Moringa mama

The composition of Moringa mama fits in three lines, and that is precisely its strength. Here are the exact ingredients: moringa leaf powder (Moringa oleifera)*, shatavari root powder (Asparagus racemosus)*, coating agent: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Ingredients marked with an asterisk are certified organic. Net weight of the product: 23.7 g.

The amounts for a daily dose of 4 capsules:

• Moringa leaf powder: 700 mg
• Shatavari root powder: 500 mg

On the ingredient side, shatavari is traditionally used to support lactation: it helps maintain a good flow of breast milk and also helps the body cope with stress, a real bonus in the postpartum period. Moringa, for its part, is a plant traditionally used by breastfeeding mothers in several cultures. No additives, no unnecessary excipients: the plant based coating is the only technical ingredient in the formula.

Where the raw materials come from

Jolly Mama plays it transparent on the label. Moringa and shatavari are both certified as coming from organic farming, with the wording “Non EU Agriculture” stated on the packaging, which matches the natural growing area of these two plants.

Manufacturing takes place in France: the product carries the Made in France label, like the vast majority of the range. It is a rather reassuring combination: plants grown where they actually thrive, with encapsulation and quality control carried out in France.

The brand also backs its formula with five published clinical studies, referenced directly on the product page in an “Our sources” tab.

How to take Moringa mama

The brand recommends taking 2 to 4 capsules a day, split into 2 intakes. The example given by Jolly Mama is simple: 2 capsules in the morning and 2 capsules at the end of the day, with a large glass of water.

The dose adapts to your needs and, according to some of the studies cited by the brand, 2 capsules a day may already be enough. The recommended course runs from 15 to 30 days.

Two practical tips from the brand are worth keeping in mind. First, avoid galactagogues right after giving birth: this could encourage engorgement, or even mastitis. Second, do not hesitate to ask an IBCLC lactation consultant, or a healthcare professional, for advice before any supplementation.

Good news if you combine products: Moringa mama can be paired with other postnatal supplements, such as Post essentials, as long as there is no overlap of active plants.

My review of Moringa mama

Moringa mama ticks many of the boxes I look for in a breastfeeding supplement: a short, readable formula, 100% organic, a clearly stated dosage, and zero additives. Leaving out fenugreek and fennel is a genuine tolerance argument for sensitive mothers.

Customer reviews follow suit: 4.6/5 across 81 reviews for this product, and 4.8/5 across 876 reviews for the brand on Trustpilot. I also appreciate that Jolly Mama states in black and white that a supplement does not replace a good latch.

I recommend Moringa mama to breastfeeding mothers who want an organic formula that is simple and well dosed, with no controversial plants.
