Question: Is it safe to use imc super nourish moringa tablet during pregnancy

Answered by Dr. Shinas Hussain (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Better to avoid in pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the attached photos.
Even though the “super nourish moringa” tablets claims herbal and natural, it is better to avoid such supplements especially in the first three months of the pregnancy. Certain alkaloids in such supplements may harm your baby.
You can include more fruits and vegetables in the diet. Iron, folic acid and calcium has to be supplemented as advised by your gynaecologist.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks.
