Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Whey-based protein powder is safe for pregnant women to use when whole food protein intake is insufficient. Whey supplies high-quality dairy protein, riboflavin, and calcium that assist with maternal plasma expansion and fetal cellular development. The FDA recommends selecting supplements that carry third-party safety certification to ensure absence of heavy metals or banned contaminants. Mix one scoop into morning oatmeal or blend with pasteurized milk and berries.
