Quality matters, so choose protein powder from a trusted brand, preferably one with third-party testing certifications, to ensure purity and potency. Avoid powders that contain herbal blends and adaptogens, or other additives that may not be safe to consume during pregnancy. Individuals with dietary restrictions such as food allergies and intolerances should avoid powders containing those ingredients. Likewise, those with medical conditions such as IBS or celiac disease should avoid powders containing ingredients that may trigger symptoms such as FODMAPs or gluten.
