Slim Xtreme and Breastfeeding
I must admit, gentlemen, I used Slim Xtreme for the advertised benefits of energy enhancement. During water polo season earlier on in college, from the end of high school preparing for basic training, and intermittently between kids, I'd been using the Regular Strength Solo Slim to increase energy enough to motivate myself. I just couldn't rebuild stamina for the life of me, and if any other groggy, curmudgeonly Taureans out there commiserate, you know how daunting it is just to get your darn tenny-runners on enough to get your butt out the door.
Solo Slim has since been pulled from the market, and for good reason. If Phenylephrines and other neurotoxins aren't enough to scare any woman away from energy supplements, we additionally fret over heart health. Apparently there were some horse meds in diluted amounts that caused cardio-pulmonary problems in users, though I didn't notice these.
I'm no medical professional and I never recommend taking energy supplements while breastfeeding - and DEFINITELY not while preggo - but you gentlemen haven't that worry. I hope. So, research indicates that roughly 1% of all meds are absorbed into breast milk. Infants and children absorb up to 70% more of everything - toxins, nutrients, etc. - given their tiny, vulnerable systems. I don't remember my stats class, but you men can certainly do the math if your wives are interested in this product while breatfeeding.
IT WORKS!!! I don't recall the appetite suppression qualities, but I haven't time to eat anyway, and usually only eat with my family when I make dinner and take my prenatal vitamins. But my energy is through the roof without the nausea, rapid heart rate, dry mouth, and vertigo of Solo Slim and traditional energy meds.
I don't take these meds except in their regular strength until my babies are on totally SOLID foods (not puree), generally around a year old. Your body builds an immunity to these ingredients, so men and women after being on Slim-X for a year or more will need to up the anti to the GOLD version, and may even need to increase those doses after a couples years by a couple pills per day. Don't crack out. But this product is excellent as I continue to nurse my baby and toddler; I can clean the house, have POWERFUL CONCENTRATION in my schoolwork, greater focus while driving, and have no problem running after my four kids!!!
