    Hi, thanks for your post.

    I can only comment on some of these. We do not have information on all of these products.

    Bacillus natto, Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin C, Alpha amylase, and simethicone are all very safe to use in breastfeeding mothers.
    Flunarizine is potentially dangerous because it can build up in the baby and cause heart problems.
    There is not enough information available in the medical literature to comment on Ginko, Anka, Grape Seed extract, Rhodiola, or trimetazidine. In general, we recommend that breastfeeding mothers not take herbal products.

    I'm sorry that I could not be of more help.
