Hello
If the product contains only dietary fiber (like psyllium, inulin, etc.), it’s generally safe during breastfeeding.
Check the label for added stimulants, laxatives, caffeine, or fat-burners. These ingredients may not be safe in lactation.
Avoid products with: Garcinia cambogia, Green tea extract in high dose, Caffeine >200 mg/day, Herbal fat burners or appetite suppressants
Next Steps
Ensure mother drinks plenty of water
Her diet remains nutritious
Baby’s growth and feeding pattern are normal
Health Tips
Stop if you notice reduced milk supply, baby’s irritability, or poor weight gain

The product has chromium picolinate as a supplement. There is an upper limit of 45 mcg/ day for chromium in breast feeding mothers.
The content of chromium picolinate is very high in the product, better to avoid

This product is generally considered safe during breastfeeding when taken in moderation (as per serving instructions).
It provides dietary fiber and a small amount of chromium without any unsafe additives.
Precautions:
• Drink plenty of water with fiber supplements to avoid constipation or bloating.
• If your baby shows any GI discomfort, consider pausing and reassessing.
• Avoid if you or baby have wheat allergy, as it contains wheat dextrin.
