Are these products compatible with breastfeeding?

Question

Hello, I am training and breastfeeding. I would like to take glutamine, digestive enzymes and greens (it helped my digestion greatly before pregnancy). Super enzyme (NOW company), there are several ingredients (main ones: betaine hydrochloride, pancreatic enzyme - amylase - protease - lipase) greens (Believe company); plant/fruit/vegetable based ingredients. mostly vitamins from what I can understand. Thanks :)!

Hello, Madam, For enzymes and greens, could you give me the name of the product and the ingredients to allow me to verify? For glutamine, the quantities consumed in food are considered safe. However, supplementation can increase the amount of glutamine in breast milk and this has not been shown to be safe. I therefore recommend avoiding glutamine. I will be available if you have any further questions! Thanks for the information. I did not find any problems for the majority of the ingredients contained in Super Enzyme, where I did not find any concrete information for betaine. Finally for the Greens product, the majority of the ingredients do not cause problems but some of them, although safe when acquired in the normal diet, have not been concretely studied when taken in supplemental quantities during breastfeeding. Therefore, I recommend avoiding these products during the breastfeeding period. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
