Is L-Theanine Safe for Breastfeeding Women?
At this time, there is no information available to suggest that L-theanine is safe (or unsafe) for breastfeeding women. Although it is a “natural” product, this does not necessarily mean that it is safe for use during breastfeeding. Many women try to avoid medications while breastfeeding and turn to herbal remedies as an alternative, assuming that “natural” automatically means “safe.” However, natural products can be quite toxic. For instance, many poisons and toxins are natural products. It just does not make sense to use an herbal supplement for which there is no information available about safety during breastfeeding.
