Hey! It is not recommended to consume aloe vera during pregnancy but safe to use topically (on the skin). And, there are no benefits to drinking alkaline water during pregnancy over normal water, the body maintains its Ph on its own.
Hey! It is hard to say if this will be enough or not because research is not conclusive on exactly how much is needed during pregnancy; the one study we have suggests 10 grams per day is ideal.
Hey, Ashley! Yep! ( :
Hi, yes, I don’t see an issue with this! And typically sulfites are only an issue to the 1% of the population who has a sensitivity, so a small amount is okay.
Hey! So, if you are more willing to do a fish source, you can also use the marine collagen peptides which don’t have as much glycine but still more than you would be getting without it, of course. Also, full circle prenatal has some glycine in it, but I don’t think it is from a vegetarian source. You can find vegetarian glycine powder like this one https://www.nowfoods.com/supplements/glycine-pure-powder – I’m still looking into finding more options so I’ll get back to you!
Hi, Ashley! So, I’ve seen no data on tigernuts during pregnancy, but I do not see why it wouldn’t be safe since it is technically just a vegetable…
Hey! Yes, I think this is a good plan, but if you do have an appetite definitely focus on high iron foods!! ( :
Definitely! Be sure to include a source of protein and fat also though like nuts, seeds, yogurt, protein powder, etc.
Hey! The best way to know is to get your vitamin D tested (now is the perfect time to test!). Ideally, your level is above 50 ng/ml. If you are taking any of the prenatal vitamins I recommend under the prenatal vitamin note, that is a good start, but most of my clients need more than this, however, this is something that is very individualized!
Hey! Is the only ingredient magnesium bicarbonate?
Hey! It’s near the bottom of the protein note (https://new.theprenatalnutritionlibrary.com/protein/) it says protein calculation! ( :
Hey! You are fine to take it at the same time as your prenatal!!
Hey! Check out the note on artificial sweeteners for more guidance here. https://new.theprenatalnutritionlibrary.com/artificial-sweeteners/
Super limited research on aloe during pregnancy, most agree it is fine externally but should not be ingested.
Here’s a good article/summary on L-carnitine!
Hey! Check out the note on constipation and also the note on gas/bloating we just recently added! (https://new.theprenatalnutritionlibrary.com/symptoms/)
Hey! You can take the omega-3 supplement whenever! ( :
Hey! No reason why these would be unsafe ( : And, yep, no added sugar is the best choice!
So, this one has retinol palmitate (the active form of vitamin A) which can be harmful in large doses during pregnancy. Is there a variety without this? They also have zinc, vitamin C, and magnesium so again, it could be possible you are over supplementing in congruence with your prenatal vitamin!
Hey! Yes, this is fine, it’s a SUPER small amount!
