Spirulina during pregnancy?

Question

I’ve started adding organic powdered spirulina to my red raspberry leaf tea for added nutrients but have recently read conflicting information regarding taking it while pregnant. Any mamas have any experience with this superfood while expecting?

Answer

It’s okay in a mall amounts, too much can cause the body to detox which you don’t want while pregnant (when toxins exit the body they have to be exposed first- if it’s just you it’s fine but your babe is too small). It’s a good source of minerals and I know a few mamas who take it. Chlorella can be a good option too. I would personally take it after the first trimester and at the recommended dose then. (Ps- i practice as a holistic nutritionist 😊💕)

Answer

I took it my entire prgenancy. I didnt want to take synthetic iron supplements and i found a study where they gave half the women an iron supplement and the other half spirulina and the irons levels were very good also no complications. I took the one from nutrex hawai and i have a super healthy toddler now.

Answer
