Answer by Dr. Ru: About BenFin usage in lactation

It contains condroitin sulfate, calcium and phosphorus. There is not enough scientific evidence of its efficacy neither on arthritis, cancer, psoriasis, macular degeneration nor as a treatment of pain or inflammation. Very expensive supplement. Risk of hypercalcemia if the prescribing dose is increased.
