AdvoCare & Pregnancy – Sarah responds

Regarding products for pregnancy, I will copy & paste an email I sent recently to pregnant friend who had the same question:

 Regarding the AdvoCare products I used during my pregnancy with my daughter, Claire:  Here is a document that AdvoCare’s Scientific & Medical Advisory Board put together: https://www.advocare.com/Microsite/Pdf/agepregnancynursing.pdf for your convenience.

 Personally I used the following:

CorePlex with Iron (3/day with food): https://www.advocare.com/Microsite/Images/Store/Labels/W6032.pdf

OmegaPlex (3/day with food): https://www.advocare.com/03011667/Store/ItemDetail.aspx?itemCode=W2002&id=D (I took my CorePlex & Omega Plex all at the same time with my Shake-see next).

Meal Replacement Shakes: https://www.advocare.com/Microsite/Images/Store/Labels/T1251.pdf

Catalyst: https://www.advocare.com/Microsite/Images/Store/Labels/T2010.pdf

Spark: https://www.advocare.com/03011667/Store/ItemDetail.aspx?itemCode=A2902&flavor=F&size=C&id=E (1 serving/day; helped with fatigue & morning sickness for me; caffeine content of 120mg/serving which is equivalent to an 8 oz. cup of coffee.  Recommended to stay under 300mg caffeine during pregnancy & nursing…so sometimes I had two servings throughout the day!) V-16 is NOT recommended during pregnancy because it is loaded with awesome herbals but there has not been sufficient research regarding herbal use in pregnancy & with nursing.  The AdvoCare Sci/Med board is extremely conservative which is a good thing.

FYI, for future reference, you can go to www.advocare.com , click on “Contact Us,” then on FAQ’s, then on “Medical Conditions,” then you’ll see “What Products Can I Use if I am Pregnant/Nursing?”  This way you’ll know how to navigate to that link if you ever have any other friends/family members who have the same question
