During the precious and memorable time of pregnancy, a woman can experience many changes in her body – including her appetite.  A powerful, healthy and viable pregnancy is directly related to good nutrition. 

Women in their childbearing years should be particularly attentive to their intake of these three nutrients:

• Calcium
• Iron
• Folate (a salt or ester of folic acid)

Jugo Juice is great for moms (and their babies inside)

Jugo Juice smoothies, beverages and wraps are suitable for women in their childbearing years during both pregnancy and lactation.  Jugo Juice smoothies and wraps contain calcium, iron, and folate in varying amounts.

Pregnant woman shouldn’t consume excessive amount of products containing artificial sweeteners, which are lower in nutrient value.  It’s important to read food labels and to ensure that they do not exceed acceptable daily intakes. The Low Carb Zone, Banana Buzz, Strawberry Buzz and Vanilla Buzz contain small amounts of Caffeine.

Herbs and Boosts – best to be avoided during pregnancy and lactation

Presently there is not enough scientific information about the safety of various herbs and herbal products to recommend their general use during pregnancy.  Woman should use these products cautiously and only under supervision from a professional Master Herbalist.  Some herbal products can have toxic or pharmacological effects on the mother or fetus (source: Health Canada). For this reason, it is advised that women avoid adding Jugo Juice Nutritional Shots during pregnancy and lactation.
