Above all, the diverse roles of zinc transporters underscore their potential as therapeutic targets
Some studies have been small, and larger independent trials are needed
Short term: Hydrate, avoid the suspected food trigger and take note of brief term use of antihistamines and rest
In a randomized clinical trial from 2014, mothers who consumed a black tea infused with 7.5g of fennel seed powder saw increased breastfeeding frequency compared to the control group, thus supporting fennel's function as a galactagogue.52 A 7.5g dose of fennel seed far exceeds however much you'll find in Liquid Gold, so we defer again to LactMed for the lowest effective dose, which appears to be 600mg daily.53 Users should exercise caution, however, as excessive use of fennel is potentially toxic to babies who consume the resulting breast milk
More broadly, bacterial glutathione S-transferases detoxify diverse electrophiles, suggesting that GSH-dependent pathways may stabilize or recycle enzymes that degrade antibiotics
