We love Chiyo. The meals are so delicious and intentional and can be customized for any stage of your fertility journey through the postpartum phase.

During pregnancy one can experience normal hormone shifts and collagen loss which leads to a loss of elasticity in your skin, dull hair and brittle nails to name a few. Collagen powder is a vital supplement throughout your pregnancy and postpartum stages to help combat this loss of elasticity and dullness. Not to mention this collagen powder has 10g pf protein!
