Have you taken it while nursing? I just picked some up for my anxiety. I took some while pregnant so I assumed it would be fine while nursing

Wondering the same... I take NAtural Calm. I am pretty sure I took it while nursing last time. I know it isn't really something you can get too much of so I assume it would be fine.

Osmotic laxatives are categorised as L1 (i.e. "Safest") by Hale (p 727, 2008).

Calcium and magnesium supplements are given for vasospasms to nursing mothers - but I don't know if it is citrate of sulphate or if that makes a difference.

It's my understanding that citrate is really the only form you want to take--in terms of synthesis by your body.

I take mag and cal citrate regularly (pg, nursing whatever). I also supplement my 9yo dd with a liquid cal/mag citrate.

I know lots of people that take the Natural Calm and swear by it.
