Lactoboost wins a National Award at WCIC Prathibhabisheka

Lactoboost by Spice Carriage won the National Bronze Award in the start-up category at WCIC Prathibhabisheka Award ceremony organized by the Women’s Chamber of Industry and Commerce (WCIC) of Sri Lanka. Mrs. Lasni Silva, Founder/CEO of Spice Carriage (Pvt) Ltd., received the award at a ceremony held in January, attended by President Ranil Wickremesinghe. Prathibhabisheka is WCIC’s flagship award ceremony to recognize and reward outstanding women entrepreneurs of  Sri Lanka and the SAARC region. “Lactoboost Lactation Cookies” are Spice Carriage’s main product and these nutritious cookies are especially made for lactating mothers. They assist in increasing breastmilk supply using natural ingredients such as oats, flax seeds, and nutritional yeast, which are also super-foods. Lactoboost cookies are made without the use of any artificial colorings, flavorings, or preservatives and are also a great low-sugar, snack for the whole family.

Lactoboost cookies can be purchased from the Healthguard Pharmacy at Dharmapala Mawatha, Ninewells Hospital Pharmacy, Joseph Fraser Memorial Hospital Pharmacy and Brunch Lane by Lactoboost – their own flagship restaurant which also provides freshly prepared Lactoboost dishes for breastfeeding mothers. They also offer a range of brunch-themed meals and snacks which are available for delivery through Uber Eats and PickMe food as well. “Lactoboost was created based on my personal experience. When I had my first baby, I had a difficult time breastfeeding due to low milk supply. I tried everything recommended by doctors and lactation consultants and when all else failed, I found this solution, and it worked. I wanted to share this with others in my position and started to produce these cookies at home, which evolved into a small business. Last year, I was one of six female entrepreneurs selected for the first Female Accelerator program in Sri Lanka, AccelerateHER conducted by Hatch Works. The training and funding provided by this program was a huge support in taking our brand to the next level. I thank everyone who supported me in this victory,” Ms. Lasni Silva said.
