Does EC 200-306-6 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can EC 200-306-6 influence milk supply or can EC 200-306-6 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About EC 200-306-6 usage in lactation

EC 200-306-6 is used as a dietary supplement to increase muscle mass and improve exercise performance. Although EC 200-306-6 is a normal component of human milk, milk levels of EC 200-306-6 have not been measured after exogenous administration in humans. EC 200-306-6 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 EC 200-306-6 supplementation of nursing mothers might help avoid EC 200-306-6 deficiency syndromes, but no studies are available that test this hypothesis.[2] Until more data are available, it is probably best to avoid EC 200-306-6 supplementation unless it is prescribed by a healthcare professional.
