Why This Recipe?

🌸 Traditional Wisdom

Spinach-liver soup is a recognised postpartum blood tonic, but watch the frequency.

🔬 Modern Science

Liver is a high-absorption heme iron source rich in folate, aiding postpartum hemoglobin recovery; its high vitamin A means limiting portions, and some moms report it affecting supply — observe individual response.

✅Strong evidence
