Pregnancy guidance

Limit

Brazil nuts must be strictly limited during pregnancy due to their exceptionally concentrated selenium content. A single nut provides more than the full daily selenium allowance, and chronic overconsumption can lead to selenosis. Restrict intake to at most one or two nuts occasionally to prevent toxic selenium accumulation. Obtain remaining prenatal minerals from balanced mixed nuts or prenatal supplements.
