Hey! I am not a big fan of powdered or supplemental greens especially during pregnancy since we don’t really have any data on these types of products. For example, herbs like parsley are safe to cook with but we don’t know if this changes when the dose is higher in a supplement. We also don’t have data on alfalfa, wheatgrass, oat grass, etc. Important to note, they are treated like dietary supplements that are not well-regulated plus they are expensive. In my opinion, it is better to focus on eating your vegetables and taking your prenatal vitamin!
