Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedFlaxseed is recommended in moderation during pregnancy as a beneficial seed for digestion. It provides alpha-linolenic acid, soluble fiber, and zinc to soothe bowel irregularity. Consume ground flaxseed rather than whole seeds because whole seeds pass through the digestive tract undigested. Stir one to two tablespoons into yogurt or smoothie bowls along with ample water.
