Hey! This protein powder doesn’t look too bad – also, check out my recommendations in the protein powder note. I don’t recommend many (if any) super greens while pregnant, one, they tend to put many random herbs that we just don’t know the safety of, two, they often include digestive enzymes which again we don’t know the safety. You will benefit much more from including real greens, fruits, and vegetables in your diet.

As far as supplements, keep in mind, I can’t provide individualized guidance here. I can only offer my general thoughts based on what I’ve outlined in the “prenatal vitamins” note here. That being said, this looks pretty well-rounded! Two downsides, it doesn’t include vitamin K2 or the active form a vitamin A. Also, limited magnesium.
