A member asked:

I am taking ashwagahnda and l-tyrosine for subclinical hypo. i am also nursing an 18month old. she only gets about 2-3 ounces/day. is it safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unknown: The use of ashwagahnda during pregnancy is suspected in triggering miscarriages. Its safety during breastfeeding is unknown due to lack of data. L-tyrosine and other proteins are likely safe & treated as any other food source.
