Answer by DrLact: About CCRIS 6843 usage in lactation

Iron is a normal component of human milk. Studies on various forms of iron indicate that breastmilk levels are not increased greatly after exogenous administration. No special precautions are necessary. Pasteurization of milk by the Holder method reduces the concentration of iron in milk by about 6.5%.[1]
