Is it allowed to take White Mulberry during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Tree native to China and spread throughout the world for ornamental use and as food for silkworms. Traditional Chinese medicine uses the root, fruit, leaves and bark, attributing to them various properties, none of which have been scientifically proven (Kwon 2016, Phimarn 2016, Yang 2014, Lans 2006). Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breast milk. Free of toxicity (Chichioco 2011), moderate consumption during breastfeeding would have little or no risk. Precautions when taking plant preparations: 1. Ensure that they are from a reliable source: poisoning has occurred due to confusing one plant with another with toxic properties, as well as poisoning from heavy metals extracted from the ground and food poisoning due to contamination with bacteria or fungi. 2. Do not take in large amounts; follow recommendations from professional experts in phytotherapy. "Natural" products are not always good in any quantity: plants contain active substances from which much of our traditional pharmacopoeia has been obtained and can result in poisoning or act as endocrine disruptors if taken in excessive amounts or time periods.
