Monk Fruit Sweetener

Monk fruit sweetener is derived from monk fruit (luo han guo) and is FDA-approved as GRAS. It has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine as a food ingredient. There is very limited data on breast milk transfer specifically, but given its natural origin and minimal absorption, it is generally considered safe to use while breastfeeding.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
