Can I take Nutrafol Postpartum if I am breastfeeding?

Nutrafol Postpartum was developed with an OBGYN using breastfeeding-friendly ingredients to target key root causes of postpartum hair thinning. All of our ingredients were chosen to help support recovery from nutrient gaps and the physical and emotional stress that can lead to hair thinning in postpartum women during a time when they may be breastfeeding. Likewise, all ingredients and their amounts were selected based on published data by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Academies, or other evidence-backed research showing efficacy and safety. Our in-house clinical and science innovation teams monitor for any changes in safety.

Nutrafol’s Postpartum ingredients were carefully selected based on research on their use in breastfeeding postpartum women and are not known to have an effect while breastfeeding. The ingredient L-theanine is an amino acid that supports the stress response and promotes relaxation. L-Theanine is an FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) ingredient with no known safety concerns when used as intended. Nutrafol Postpartum ingredients are bioavailable and free of gluten, soy, dairy, artificial flavors, and coloring.
