Can I have protein powder while pregnant?

Protein powder can be a helpful addition to your diet during pregnancy. Protein and calorie needs are increased while you are pregnant, so protein supplements are quite common during that time. 

Specifically with your Gainful Personalized Protein, some of the protein blends we create have a small amount of caffeine in them. Since it's recommended to limit total daily caffeine consumption while pregnant, you may want to avoid this depending on your caffeine intake elsewhere. If you need to adjust the ingredients in your blend, reach out to your dietitian by going to the RD Hub on your profile.

We always recommend consulting with your physician before taking any supplements if you are pregnant, nursing, or have any medical conditions.
