My mom keeps telling me to take protinex for protein but im not sure if its meant for pregnant women. Im in second trimester. Did any of u take it, did ur gynac okay it?
My MIL was always feeding me dry fruits and milk, but my gynac said I needed extra protein. I asked my doctor about Protinex, and she recommended the Mama Protinex version which is safer. Do ask your doctor once before starting any brand.
Actually, regular Protinex has high sugar and different ingredients, so doctors usually suggest 'Protinex Mama' or other pregnancy-specific protein powders. It's always best to check with your gynac first because they can suggest the right one based on your weight and blood reports.
When I had thyroid during my pregnancy, my doctor was very strict about what supplements I could take. She prescribed a specific protein brand that wouldn't interfere with my morning thyroid medicine. Please consult your doctor to find out which one is safest for you.
I wanted to keep up my protein intake to support my daily walking, but I didn't take any supplement without asking. My doctor specifically recommended a pregnancy-safe protein powder. Please get your gynac's approval first before taking Protinex.
