Hi, are BCAA's safe if I am breastfeeding? Is it safe to take BCAA's if I'm breastfeeding, like if I'm taking a pre workout? Thank you!

Hello Ma'am,

The use of pre-workout in breastfeeding is not recommended, no. This is firstly because of the very high amount of caffeine inside these products, and also because of the fact that several other products are combined in a pre-workout. As for BCAAs alone, I also do not recommend their use in breastfeeding, because we do not have enough data on the safety of these products and their possible passage into breast milk (the BCAAs or the components that are put in the product).

Good evening,
