Hey, Shannon,

After reading a little more into this, it looks like it is best avoided. Very interesting, quinine is used to treat malaria in pregnancy, but in this case, they say the benefits outweigh the risks. For healthy pregnancies, it looks like the opposite is true.

I’ve never heard of Seedlip (looks interesting!), the issue here is most likely added sugar and herbs (although it’s probably a very small amount), the site isn’t loading for me for some reason, I’ll have to come back to it and re-check.
