Rhodiola
Rhodiola is an adaptogen used for energy and stress resilience, but safety data during breastfeeding is lacking. Most sources recommend avoiding it while nursing.
Rhodiola rosea has documented effects on stress hormones, fatigue, and mood. However, no safety data exists for use during breastfeeding. Its effects on infant development through breast milk are unknown. Until more data is available, most providers and LactMed recommend avoiding rhodiola during lactation.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
