A member asked:

I'm preparing for a fitness competition.i currently breastfeed my 8 month old daughter.is it safe to consume conjugated linoleic acid and glutamine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Linoleic/ glutamine: Both linolieic acid and glutamine are safe to consume while breastfeeding. Linoleic acid consumption will also increase healthy fatty acids in breastmilk https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/07/080728081625.htm
