My gynac prescribed a supplement that has lycopene in it. I googled and got confused so just wanted to ask. Is it fine to take in second trimester? Anyone was given the same?
Simply put, eating tomatoes or papaya is great, but don't take lycopene pills or concentrated supplements. Some clinical studies show high doses of lycopene supplements can actually be risky during pregnancy. Just stick to real food and ask your gynaecologist if you have been prescribed a multivitamin containing it.
Please do not worry, dear. If you are eating tomatoes in your normal meals, it is completely safe. Just avoid any special tablets or supplements without asking your doctor first. Stay happy and take care.
Haan bilkul safe hai agar tum tamatar ya tarbooj khari ho toh, par koi alag se dawai mat lena na. Hamare ghar pe toh tamatar ke bina kuch banta hi nahi hai! Bas supplements se bacho, baki sab normal hai.
Dekho, tamatar khana bilkul safe hai aur pregnancy me accha bhi hai. Par agar koi lycopene supplement ya tablet lene ki soch rahi ho, toh bilkul mat lena jab tak tumhara gynaecologist na bole. Faltu me khud se medical store se dawai mat khareedo.
Lycopene from natural food sources like tomatoes and watermelon is perfectly safe and healthy. However, you should avoid lycopene supplements during pregnancy as research is limited and some studies suggest it may increase preterm risks. Always consult your gynaecologist before starting any such supplements.
I am in my 23rd week and I got so anxious when I saw lycopene written on a health drink label! My doctor said raw foods like tomato are totally fine but we should avoid concentrated pills. Does anyone else get super stressed reading ingredient lists on packages?
Tamatar aur tarbooj toh bhagwan ki banayi hui cheezein hain beta, inko khana humesha sehatmand rehta hai. Par bazar se milne wali powder ya dawayian mat lena bina doctor ki salah ke. Garmi me thoda sa dahi-pudina lena pet ke liye sabse behtar gharelu nuskha hai.
During my recovery after C-section, my doctors advised me to stick to simple, natural home-cooked food. For lycopene, just eat fresh tomatoes and watermelons instead of any pills. Natural antioxidants in food helped my healing process without any risks.
