To all the mamas out there:
Has anyone taken supplements that include berberine while breastfeeding? I am considering to try the supplement from MilkDust that is supposed to help with postpartum recovery and metabolism. Before I take, I want to check off all the ingredients first. There is one ingredient called Berberine that breaks down glucose and regulates blood sugar. I can't find a more recent study suggesting if it is safe to consume while breastfeeding.
If you had similar experience or had tried the MilkDust Metabolism supplement before, I would greatly appreciate for your insights!
