Precautions
Phenylketonurics are warned that this product contains phenylalanine. Contains lactose.
Caution with concurrent use of anti-depressant medications, thyroid hormone medications. Caution with hypertension – consult your healthcare practitioner before taking.
Pregnancy and Lactation
BioCeuticals Adrenoplex is not contraindicated during lactation, in fact some of the herbs have traditionally been used to promote lactation; for example Withania and Korean Ginseng.
It is likely that some of the ingredients will pass to the baby via breast milk, however at this point there are no known cases of adverse effects.
Theoretically, there are two possible issues that could occur, although the possibility is remote:
1. Allergic reaction
If Adrenoplex is strongly indicated for the mother, then it is worthwhile considering if there are any allergies in the extended family. This would include:
– Solanacea family; eggplant, tomato, potato
– Araliaceae family; ivy plants
– Ganoderma mushrooms
It is also worthwhile considering if there is any genetic adrenal disorders within the extended family since the herbs and nutrients of Adrenoplex affect adrenal activity.
2. Adrenal Hyperactivity in the baby (although no such effect has been reported)
With regard to dosage it would be best to start with 1 capsule per day and build up to no more than 2 capsules twice per day, depending on how the mother and baby progress.
If you are taking BioCeuticals Adrenoplex for energy support or stress and anxiety it may be worthwhile considering as an alternative: Ultra Muscleze, DHA Omega, InNatal and chamomile tea.
