Hale's lookup or any other info on adrenal support?

[crunchy_mommy]

I need to take "Gaia Adrenal Health" and it says on the bottle not to be used during lactation or pregnancy. My doctor knows I'm breastfeeding (and is knowledgeable about it) so I'm not sure if it's OK to use this while I'm nursing???

The ingredients (http://www.gaiaherbs.com/product.php?id=5) are:

Rhodiola root, standardized to 6mg Rosavins (Rhodiola rosea)
Holy Basil Supercritical Extract - standardized to 3.86mg total Eugenols (Ocimum sanctum)
Wild Oats Milky Seed (Avena sativa)
Schisandra Berry (Schisandra chinensis)
Ashwagandha Root (Withania somnifera)
Holy Basil leaf (Ocimum sanctum)

Does Hale's have herbal things like this? Can someone look it up for me or tell me if this is safe? I'm so paranoid!!

This is where I look up Hale stuff. Didn't see yours listed, but may find it as individual ingredients. Letting you know you are not invisible.... back soon

I am not finding anything on the Hale site. I would call your doctor and ask. It matters how old babe is and how much nursing too. You could also contact the company and ask. baby need gg

TY. I looked up the individual ingredients on google and it seemed like there was just no research either way. I'll double-check them on that site, thanks! I asked my doc but he hasn't gotten back to me yet & I need to start taking this soon. My DS is 16mos old but does still nurse quite a bit.

Did you ever find an answer on this?  My doctor just suggested I take this and I'm breastfeeding a 16 month old myself...

My doc said he felt it would be safe so I did take it & didn't notice any adverse effects on DS. I only took it 'til the bottle ran out though, not sure it was doing me any good anyway but it was making me quite nervous about DS so didn't seem worth the 'risk'...
