JenSlayton, I am currently breastfeeding my son and before starting the dci I contacted ChiralBalance to ask if it's safe for b'feeding. They wrote back regarding breastfeeding and pregnancy and I'm posting their letter below:
Hi Ms. Boyd,
Because D-chiro-inositol (DCI) is a natural human metabolite (as opposed to a drug or herb), and because it is water soluble, meaning you excrete what you don't use, DCI can be expected to be just as safe for you and your baby as similar metabolites, for instance viramin C or the B8 (to which DCI is cosely related). Taking DCI in reasonable amounts, like 600-1200 mg daily, should be fine.
That being said, we suggest you print out our Doctor's Pamphlet and share that information with your physician to get her/his opinion before making a final decision on whether DCI is right for you.
Also, I don't know whether any of our current customers take or have taken DCI while breastfeeding, I know several have taken it during pregnancy. Some of them can be contacted by way of discussion forums on websites like soulcysters.com.
Sincerely,
Travis H Johnson
