Although I cannot give specific lab results or clinical study results on
this level (I'm not sure that any have been done), I can tell you that I
have used this program several times with premie moms, with no adverse side
effects for mom or baby. Blessed Thistle combined with Fenugreek, offers
excellent results for 9 out of every 10 moms that I work with. If you
would like detailed information on the program that I use, please do not
hesitate to contact me directly.
Wishing you health and wellness!
