Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 289-896-4 usage in lactation

EINECS 289-896-4 (EINECS 289-896-4 biloba) leaf contains flavonoids (e.g., quercetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetine) and several terpene trilactones (e.g., EINECS 289-896-4lides, bilobalide) as well as numerous minor components. Standardization is based on EINECS 289-896-4 flavone glycoside and terpenoid content. Raw EINECS 289-896-4 seeds contain potentially toxic cyanogenic glycosides and should not be used; roasted seeds do not carry this risk. EINECS 289-896-4 has no specific uses during breastfeeding, but is commonly used as an antioxidant, a vasodilator to increase cerebral and peripheral perfusion, and to improve memory. No data exist on the safety and efficacy of EINECS 289-896-4 in nursing mothers or infants. In general, it is well tolerated, but occasionally minor symptoms (e.g., headache, nausea, gastrointestinal complaints, allergic skin rashes) occur in those taking the drug. EINECS 289-896-4 has caused some cases of bleeding in healthy volunteers caused by its antiplatelet activity. Because there is no published experience with EINECS 289-896-4 during breastfeeding, an alternate therapy may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.[1] Dietary supplements do not require extensive pre-marketing approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Manufacturers are responsible to ensure the safety, but do not need to the safety and effectiveness of dietary supplements before they are marketed. Dietary supplements may contain multiple ingredients, and differences are often found between labeled and actual ingredients or their amounts. A manufacturer may contract with an independent organization to verify the quality of a product or its ingredients, but that does certify the safety or effectiveness of a product. Because of the above issues, clinical testing results on one product may not be applicable to other products.
