I may have jumped the gun on Moringa and Prolactin. Moringa is known as a galactagogue which I associate with increasing prolactin.
I found this study: http://miracletrees.org/moringa-doc/mori..._study.pdf which shows its effectiveness as a galactagogue.
This article: http://www.drugs.com/breastfeeding/moringa.html however states that: "No correlation was found between serum prolactin and milk volume."
Other sites say the opposite, but they are pushing product: "The lactation enhancing effects of malunggay leaves as evidenced by a greater increase in maternal serum prolactin levels." (http://moringa4women.blogspot.com.au/p/l...thers.html)
I found this supplier: http://www.biovea.com/au/product_detail....s&PID=4277
Their capsules contain leaf extract equivalent to 5000mg of leaf material.
