It all depends on the product, the herbalife range seems to be quite extensive. Also, pregnancy and breastfeeding are two very different conditions. A product that is safe during breastfeeding may not be safe during pregnancy. It is important to know that we do not have much information on the potential effects of natural products on the course of a pregnancy, hence their use with extreme caution. Just because it is natural does not mean it cannot be dangerous!

From the Herbalife range it would be the Formula 1, the aloe concentrate and the Snack Defense

Would it be possible to take them while breastfeeding?

Formula 1: This product is similar to the supplements commonly sold in pharmacies known as Boost and Ensure. These products are safe during breastfeeding. However, as for the Herbalife Formula 1, I thought I saw on the label that there were more than fifty ingredients inside, so it is almost impossible to be 100% sure if the product would be suitable. Perhaps write to the company for more information. Aloe: strongly discouraged during breastfeeding, as aloe passes easily into breast milk and the effects can be harmful to the child who is breastfeeding. Snack defense: it seems to be a chromium supplement. There is no particular danger with chromium supplements during breastfeeding. However, I rarely recommend this type of supplement because chromium deficiency is very rare in the general population. A healthy diet easily meets chromium needs. People often want to supplement with chromium to increase their immune system, improve their blood sugar levels or help with lipid management, but no serious study has ever been able to prove the effectiveness of chromium in these circumstances. I hope I have helped you in your research
