Galatonol is a standardized water extract derived from a combination of Sauropus androgynus leaves and Coleus amboinicus herb, with the ratio of 60% and 40%, respectively. Both plants are well-recognized, especially in Indonesia, for their traditional use in increasing breast milk production in lactating mothers.

Key Feature of the Product
Galatonol
In a preclinical study involving female lactating rats, the administration of Galatonol resulted in a significant increase in breast milk production compared to the untreated control group (p < 0.05). This increase also positively impacted the body weight of the pups. Additionally, the levels of prolactin and oxytocin were significantly higher in the treated groups compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Accordingly, the increase in breast milk production was associated with the increase in prolactin and oxytocin secretion.
Coleus amboinicus herba
Coleus amboinicus, also known as bangun-bangun herb, is traditionally used to increase breast milk production by making soup or brewing it with boiling water. This benefit has also been documented in the Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number HK.01.07/Menkes/187/2017 regarding the Formularium Ramuan Obat Tradisional Indonesia.
Sauropus androgynus folium
Sauropus androgynus, commonly known as daun katuk, is traditionally consumed by Indonesians and is believed to increase breast milk production during lactation. Lactation, a process of milk synthesis and secretion, occurs with the help of 2 hormones, prolactin and oxytocin. Several studies have proven the benefits of S. androgynus leaves for increasing breast milk production. Supplementation of mature S. androgynus leaf extracts (173.6 mg /kg) on lactating BALB/C mice increased the expression of prolactin and oxytocin gene by 15.75 and 25.77 fold, respectively, compared to the control group. The results suggested that mature S. androgynus leaf extract significantly increased the expressions of both genes in lactating BALB/C mice (Soka et al., 2010). Similar research results also show that S. androgynus leaves extract (6 mg/kg) increases the mother's breast milk production up to 50.7% compared with placebo in lactating woman subjects (Sa’roni et al., 2004).
