Supplements okay during pregnancy?

Question

Prior to pregnancy i was using Maca powder for hormonal/mood balancing i really liked adding it to my shakes in the morning. I’ve read mixed reviews online about the safety during pregnancy- anyone have any insight? I’m also wondering about ashwaghanda (it’s in my garden of life protein) and Hawaiin spirulina powder. 
Any info y’all have would be appreciated!

Answer

Maca is not safe during pregnancy as it affects hormones. Ashwagandha should be safe as long as it’s taken in small doses, however you mention the GOL protein...are you taking the Raw Fit? It has Green Coffee Bean in it, which is a diet/metabolism supplement and should be avoided during pregnancy. The spirulina is great during pregnancy, a healthy supply of iodine and chlorophyll to nourish the blood and placenta.
