Moringa: We have only limited data on the safety of moringa leaf extract during lactation. If your product includes other parts, it should be avoided as a precaution.
Stevia leaf, blue spirulina, baobab, hemp seed, chlorella, lucuma: There is not enough safety data on these products to recommend their consumption.
I hope I've been helpful, and please don't hesitate if you have any further questions!

When you say: "if the product includes other parts" what do you mean?
thank you!

If it is a part other than the leaf, like the stem, or even the bark for example.
