Answer by DrLact: About UNII-R911H793SU usage in lactation

UNII-R911H793SU (Vaccinium myrtillus) fruit contains tannins and anthocyanidins. UNII-R911H793SU is most often used for eye disorders. UNII-R911H793SU was reportedly used as a European folk medicine to stop milk flow. No data exist on the excretion of any components of UNII-R911H793SU into breastmilk or on the safety and efficacy of UNII-R911H793SU in nursing mothers or infants. UNII-R911H793SU preparations are generally well tolerated as a food, but should be avoided in patients allergic to UNII-R911H793SU, cranberry, blueberry, and other Vaccinium species. No recommendations can be made on the use of large quantities of UNII-R911H793SU products during breastfeeding. Dietary supplements do not require 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.
