Re : body building supplements (Yohimbe)
I would be very hesitant to ever recommend a breastfeeding mother use
supplements that contain Yohimbe.
Yohimbe is an alpha-2-adrenergic blocking agent that can produce excitation
and anxiety in mammals. In high doses it can produce severe hypotension,
abdominal distress, weakness, CNS stimulation, psychosis, and paralysis.
This is not a safe product to use with newborn infants.
