Nutrition during these times is particularly important. Spirulina is, indeed, safe for both pregnancy and breast feeding. The common misunderstanding is that Spirulina contains too much Vitamin A, which can cause some problems. The good news, however, is that Synergy contains Pro-Vitamin A, otherwise known as Beta-carotene. This is a safe ‘pre-cursor’ form that allows the body to convert only what it needs to Vitamin A, thus avoiding the possible over-saturation of this oil-based vitamin.
As a freshwater plant which is concentrated by removing nothing but the water, Synergy Spirulina is 100% natural and as such will not cause excess problems with any particular vitamin or mineral. With Spirulina as with any other natural plant food, the body takes the nutrients it needs and discards what it doesn’t want unlike synthetically derived vitamins & minerals (most brands) which can contribute to vitamin and mineral imbalances.
The consumption quantities on our product’s label are safe levels during pregnancy or whilst breast feeding – it just depends how much you want to take to enjoy a boost in nutrient and energy levels.
Synergy Spirulina’s easy-to-digest protein and bio-available iron without any saturated fats is ideal for pregnant women. However, it is always advisable for pregnant women to consult their GP or other qualified health professional before taking any food supplements.
