Breastfeeding and Simultaneous Use of PhytoChi
Can a mother of a 4-month-old child who is exclusively breastfed by her take PhytoChi? Can it not harm the child or, for example, cause some allergy, etc.?
We consulted the answer with the SZÚ and the manufacturer, Mr. Leung. For reasons of precautionary principle, the SZÚ considers it inappropriate to recommend the product for use by pregnant and breastfeeding women, as in its opinion there is insufficient evidence of the safety of some components (Curcuma longa, Panax quiquefolius, notoginseng, and glycyrrhiza). The manufacturer and scientist in the field of traditional Chinese herbs (chinesis materia medica), Mr. Albert Y. Leung, considers his product absolutely safe for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers as well. He uses only guaranteed traditional high-quality raw materials for which there is extensive publication on their safety, toxicity, incompatibility, preventive measures, and warnings. Furthermore, for the herbs used, there is a practice based on clinical experience in humans gained over the years. The experience of doctors in the Czech Republic offering PhytoChi is only positive for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. The decision is up to you.
