Is body armor (the drink) ok for pregnant women?

Question

Answer

It has hidden ingredients. But so does 90 percent of the food on the market. It's basically just as bad as soda

Answer

Not if you are taking prenatals and not everyday. There is such thing as too many synthetic vitamins when you are pregnant. It can cause vitamin toxicity. Vitamin A in excess for example can cause birth defects. The body armor drink has 200% daily value of certain vitamins. You’re getting 100% in a prenatal so then you get three times what you really need, not to mention you’re getting some in foods as well. You’d be better off with a straight electrolyte powder to put in your water if you’re looking for something with some flavor and electrolytes - which in and of itself could be beneficial for hydration :)￼

Answer

I would be very careful with it because of the vitamin A. Excessive amounts can cause birth defects.

Answer

My doctors told me it was okay to have whenever I wanted and however much. So I drank it 24/7 my first pregnancy (last year) and now I am again with this pregnancy because I’m not drinking enough water. It’s high in sugar but other than that it’s fine.
