I have a mother that E-mailed me about taking these for her symptoms of PCOS.

Cinnamon 1000mg
Chromium Picolinate 1000ug
Vitex (Also known as Chaste Berry) - 400 mg
Fish Oil - 1000mg

I have not worked with a mother who was taking these before. Looking at Hale the Chromium dose is 200 ug and she is taking 1000ug. 
Vitex (chaste berry ) is used for menstrual problems and increasing milk supply
I don't think that the fish oilis or the cinnamon would be of concern except that it could drop her blood sugars if she wasn't eating well. So what I am asking from all of you is  would these be ok. I don't find anything saying they are contradicted in breastfeeding. YOu can e-mail me off list or post. I know that there are those of you on the list who are very knowledgeable about these things. Thanks
