Wendy Poon, a working Kiwi mother of two, has developed a new range of galactogogue (or milk-boosting) products. She launched the nutraceutical business during the pandemic and is now exporting to more than 20 countries.

Poon’s range of organic and natural Booster Blends and Protein Powders are formulated to support lactation levels of breastfeeding new mothers. With help from social media and

referrals from a global network of midwives and lactation consultants, sales have grown by over 500% each year – supplying thousands of customers in a diverse range of countries including Alaska and Jersey.

The product range is based on a global trend towards functional foods. Sarah Heeringa talks with Poon to discover more.
