Could I use Herbalife when I am breast feeding?

----------------------------------------------

Nakeisha, I would love to say yes you can. But the truth is some of the Herbalife products are not recommended for women who are pregnant, lactating or may become pregnant.

On the other hand I have read many testimonials from doctors and users alike proclaiming the benefits of the Nutritional Shake Mix during nursing.

The idea is that you pass a long the healthy nutrition to your infant. Herbalife does have products specifically for kids nutrition, including infants 6 mos up to 18 y/o. See Kids Nutrition

The good news is that any warnings or advisements are printed on the nutrition label. The Nutritional shake mix carries no such warning. However the "Total Control" product does advise against using it for women who are nursing.

As with any over the counter dietary supplement you should always read the nutrition label before consuming the product. This helps you make an informed decision whether the product may help you or not.

We would love to read your comments. Let us know what you think...
