Are magnesium supplements, BCAAs and protein powders safe during pregnancy? Thank you!

Hello Mrs,

Magnesium is considered safe during pregnancy, but you will have to confirm this with your pharmacist. Also, many prenatal vitamins already contain it.

For proteins, no problem either, but you will have to make sure that the product does not contain ingredients considered dangerous or impurities.

We do not have any data on the safety of BCAAs, so it is recommended to avoid them.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist

We'd love to!
