Hello, and thank you for your question.

Unfortunately, we do not have enough data to determine the safety of this type of supplement during pregnancy and in breastfeeding women. Therefore, it is not recommended that you take this supplement if you want to get pregnant, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
