I’m interested to find a protein powder that’s safe during pregnancy (if there is such a thing lol) this one looks pretty clean in terms of ingredients, has anyone tried this before?

I use it, have had absolutely no problems x

Hi there, Nutrition qualifed coach here (also pre and post natal qualified) . The ingredients are all pregnancy safe. :)

thank you!! Very good to know ☺️

ok I’m glad to hear! I was a bit apprehensive about taking protein powder when pregnant xx

@Carmen pure whey or casein is your best choice. Avoid ones with additives like caffeine, vitamins etc. For example you can't have too much vit A while pregnant (stick to prenatal vitamins). Creatine is absolutely fine and beneficial while pregnant

I would have loved to continue using protein powder and creatine etc however people don’t test things on pregnant women so I just avoided it.

@Victoria pure whey and casein is essentially the same as baby formula (=cows milk without the fat and carbs). Pea protein, rice protein etc are derived from pea, rice. No need to be afraid from them. :) a chocolate bar has way much more additives than pure protein. You just need to avoid lots of added stuff (like high dose of caffeine, vitamin A etc)
There are actually researches on the safety of protein powders on pregnant and post partum ladies. X

Thanks Andrea, wish I knew earlier. This is insightful to be honest x

Yes to the pea and rice protein, that one I knew lol x

thank you so much Andrea, I’ll look into pure whey/ casein I don’t know why I just assumed I couldn’t have those kinds of protein powders, usually because they come with so much other stuff but I’ll try and find one without additives. Thank you for the advice ❤️❤️
