Ingredients & components
- Protein powderCautionPlain protein is not the issue — added herbs, high vitamin doses, stimulants, sweeteners and heavy-metal contamination are.

- AshwagandhaNot recommendedGenerally not recommended during pregnancy.
- MagnesiumCautionCommonly used for cramps and sleep at ordinary supplemental doses; check the dose with your clinician.
- MelatoninInsufficient evidenceThere isn't enough good evidence to say melatonin is safe in pregnancy — Mikeera can't confidently call this low risk.
