CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10)
CoQ10 is popular for energy and cardiovascular health, but breastfeeding safety data is limited. Most sources advise caution due to lack of studies in nursing moms.
CoQ10 is naturally produced by the body and found in meat and fish. While generally considered safe for healthy adults, its safety during breastfeeding has not been formally studied. It's fat-soluble and may transfer into breast milk. Given the absence of safety data, conservative guidance recommends caution. Discuss with your provider if you feel CoQ10 is important for your health.
