Before pregnancy i used to take a protein supplement that has amino acids in it. Now im 2nd trimester and not sure if i should continue. Will check with doc also but wanted to hear if anyone kept taking it safely.
At home, we make sure to eat lots of lentils and curd which naturally have amino acids. For any external supplements or protein powders, I always ask my doctor first to be completely safe.
The clinical nutritionist at my hospital gave me a chart showing safe food sources of amino acids like paneer and sprouts. She strictly advised against over-the-counter amino supplements, so please consult your doctor first.
My saas always emphasizes eating dry fruits and sprouts for baby's strength. Actually, these are rich in natural amino acids. I prefer these natural options over any outside tablets.
I totally understand wanting to give the best nutrition to your little baby, sweetie. Natural sources of amino acids like dals and nuts are wonderfully safe. Just check with your gynac before starting any synthetic supplements.
Aap daal, doodh, aur ande jaisi cheezein khaiye, inme natural amino acids hote hain jo pregnancy me bahut acche hain. Kisi tarah ki bahaar ki dawai bina doctor se pooche mat lena, beta.
I had terrible nausea and couldn't digest heavy proteins, so my doctor suggested light dals and curd for amino acids. If you can't eat solid foods, talk to your doctor about safe liquid alternatives.
Actually, my pregnancy tracker app suggested that we need more protein (which has amino acids) in the second trimester. Focus on whole foods, and log your daily protein intake. Skip supplement powders unless advised.
Eating home-cooked food like khichdi, paneer, and badam is the best way to get all nutrients. These modern powder supplements should be avoided unless your doctor specifically recommends them for your health.
I continued doing light prenatal yoga and kept my protein high through natural foods like tofu and sprouts. Do not take any fitness amino acid supplements like BCAA without your gynac's clearance.
Amino acids from your daily diet like eggs, chicken, and dairy are completely safe and essential. But don't take any random amino acid capsules or pre-workout drinks without asking your gynac first.
