Is it same to take a protein powder with amino acids?

Question

My protein powder has amino acids in it. Is hat safe to continue? See label in pic. The nurse line couldn’t say much about it. So thought I’d ask here.

Answer

I’m no expert, but protein powder and bcaa’s are something I’ve cut out with both pregnancies. With my first pregnancy I couldn’t find much information one way or the other (except random moms on the internet arguing pros and cons) so I just figured it was an easy thing for me to cut out, just in case.
However, to play devils advocate, there is not a lot of real scientific evidence against it either. And, if protein powder is the way in which you get a significant portion of your protein, I would think that is the the more important thing. 
I personally only used both (my brand of protein has bcaas separate) as supplemental nutrition after working out, so it was not difficult for me to just not, but if you rely on this protein powder for standard nutrition then I would continue unless your doctor says otherwise or until you can find a suitable alternative.

Answer

Just as I was thinking I should get some pea protein powder to boost my intake because from food these days I hardly get it. I guess I'll stick to peanut butter in my smoothies then.

Answer

This is what I use...no extra stuff, just protein! Also, it literally is flavorless when mixed in, and no texture....whatever you do, DO NOT mix with warm/hot liquids lol you will regret it 🤣

Answer

No! I’ve done a lot of reach on protein powders... the amino acid complex has not been studied, therefore, not safe. My OB said the only way to know if they truly are, is to call the company if you ruled out everything ingredient wise and suspect it’s safe. She told me to switch to Baby Boosters. That’s what I’m using now. It taste okay.

Answer

Sorry, wouldn’t let it ad it to my comments. Sadly it only comes in 2 flavors and I think the mocha taste better then the vanilla.

Answer

Following this I didn’t even think about if my protein was pregnancy safe 🙄

Answer

Obviously that is supposed to say “is it SAFE“ I hate that you cannot edit posts!
