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.
