Taking berberine-included supplement while breastfeeding
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!
Below are the nutrition facts of the supplement:
​Serving size: 2 Capsules
Zinc (as Zinc Gluconate) 11mg
Chromium (as Chromium Picolinate) 100mcg
Alpha Lipoic Acid 150mg
Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) (Leaf) 150mg
Berberine I-ICL (from Berberis aristata Root 97% Berberine) 100mg
Resveratrol (from Polygonum cuspidatum Root Extract 200: I) 40mg
Proprietary Blend 112mg
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) Seed Extract 80% Silymarin, Cayenne (Capsicum annum) Fruit 40,000 H.U., Asian Ginseng (Panax ginseng) (aerial parts) 8% Ginsenosides, Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa), Lear Extract 2% Corosolic Acid​
