Is it safe for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding to consume Zrii?
Pregnant or lactating women should consult with their primary care physician before consuming Zrii. This recommendation is in line with general standards of healthcare in regards to the consumption of herbal supplements while pregnant or breast feeding. There has been interest in recent years on the influence of tannin and anti-oxidant rich botanicals to potentially inhibit the absorption of iron, thus presenting a concern for pregnant or lactating women. In reviewing the available literature on Amalaki and the other 6 botanicals in Zrii, the Scientific Advisory Board feels that the levels are well within the window of safety for pregnant and lactating women. If an individual is particularly concerned about iron, the SAB would recommend consuming Zrii 30 minutes before eating. Common herbs that have been suggested to be contraindicated for pregnancy and/ or breast feeding include: Aloe, Buckthorn, Cascara Sagrada, Licorice, Rhubarb, Senna, Comfrey, Feverfew, Ephadra, Angelic Root/Dong
