Answer by DrLact: About UNII-7556HJ7587 usage in lactation

UNII-7556HJ7587 (UNII-7556HJ7587 cambogia) fruit rind contains hydroxycitric acid. UNII-7556HJ7587 has no specific lactation-related uses. It is most often used to promote weight loss. No data exist on the excretion of any components of UNII-7556HJ7587 into breastmilk or on the safety and efficacy of UNII-7556HJ7587 in nursing mothers or infants. UNII-7556HJ7587 and hydroxycitric acid are generally well tolerated in adults, with occasional gastrointestinal discomfort reported.[1] Because there is no published experience with UNII-7556HJ7587 or hydroxycitric acid during breastfeeding, these products should be avoided, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. 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.
