Hello Lactnetters!
While attending a La Leche League event this weekend, I was surprised to see
an exhibit booth sponsored by Super Blue Green Algae. This product is also
being advertised in "New Beginnings." My concern comes from the fact that it
is being touted as safe for breastfeeding mothers (although it did list
intestinal upset as a possible side effect.) No documentation was given.
However, I read a concerning article in SELF Magazine recently (March, 1997)
that listed more dangerous (possible) side effects, including uterine
bleeding, severe nausea, diarhhea and intestinal problems. Apparently, there
is no real proof one way or the other. Has anyone had any experience with
this product? Any studies?
Thanks!
