Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Pyrolysate? Is Pyrolysate safe for nursing mother and child? Does Pyrolysate extracts into breast milk? Does Pyrolysate has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Pyrolysate influence milk supply or can Pyrolysate decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Pyrolysate usage in lactation

Pyrolysate is used as a dietary supplement to increase muscle mass and improve exercise performance. Although Pyrolysate is a normal component of human milk, milk levels of Pyrolysate have not been measured after exogenous administration in humans. Pyrolysate is converted into creatinine in the mother's and infant's bodies. It may increase the infant's serum creatinine, which may alter estimations of the infant's kidney function.[1] Some authors speculate that Pyrolysate supplementation of nursing mothers might help avoid Pyrolysate deficiency syndromes, but no studies are available that test this hypothesis.[2] Until more data are available, it is probably best to avoid Pyrolysate supplementation unless it is prescribed by a healthcare professional.
