What's the difference between Matilde and Leche Viva Plus?
Matilde is one herb pure Ixbut at 1500 mg per serving. Clean and simple. Leche Viva Plus adds Moringa, Chaya, and Anise, plus a clinical nutrient stack covering folate, B12, magnesium, zinc, and more. Choose Matilde if you want targeted milk support. Choose Leche Viva Plus if you want everything in one formula.
What is Ixbut?
Ixbut (Euphorbia lancifolia) is a plant native to Guatemala used for centuries in traditional medicine to support breast milk production. It's deeply familiar in Latin American communities but almost unknown in the U.S. market — which is exactly why we built Akna Wellness. We source ours directly from Guatemala.
Are these safe for breastfeeding?
These products are designed specifically for nursing parents. That said, everyone's situation is different — please check with your healthcare provider or IBCLC before starting any new supplement, especially if you have medical conditions or take medications.
Vegan and allergen-friendly?
Yes. Both are 100% vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free. Capsules are hypromellose — plant-based, not gelatin.
Can I take these during pregnancy?
No. These products are for postpartum and nursing parents only. Keep all supplements out of reach of children.
I take blood sugar medication. Is this safe?
Some herbs may interact with blood sugar medications. Please consult your healthcare provider before use.
How long until I see results?
It varies. Some new moms notice changes in the first week; for others it takes 2–3 weeks. We recommend at least 3–4 weeks of consistent daily use before evaluating.
Where are these made?
Guatemala the native home of Ixbut for export to the USA. We source from origin intentionally. It's a quality choice and an ethical one.
What does third-party tested mean?
An independent laboratory does not test the products for purity, potency, and the absence of heavy metals. They confirm the label is accurate and the product is safe before it reaches you. We do this because we think it's the only responsible way to operate, especially for a product used by nursing parents.
Who formulated these?
A Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Functional Nutritionist with direct clinical experience. Every ingredient was chosen with intention not by a marketing team.
