Q: it safe to take the Aloe Vera Gel whilst breast feeding?

A: Yes it is perfectly safe, and highly recommended as the mother is nutritionally very low after having a baby. Many mothers have commented that by taking the Gel, it has kept the breast milk for much longer than previous pregnancies and has seemed to be more fulfilling for the baby, and has also prevented the baby from having colic. Note from Dustin Greene, Managing Director(1998), "In the 19 years that Forever Living Products has been trading, many women have taken our Aloe Vera Gel during pregnancy and after pregnancy whilst breast feeding. To date, there have been no reported incidents of any adverse effects to pregnant women taking the Gel or to the foetus/baby."

Q: During pregnancy, what nutritional supplements are safe to take?

A: For a healthy pregnancy, it is recommended to avoid antihistamines, cold or flu remedies, antacid tablets and artificial sweeteners. Also avoid tea, coffee, alcohol, cigarettes and any other drugs. These recommendations are for safeguarding mother and baby, as they will be directly affecting the baby through the mother's blood. Suggested supplements: Nature-Min, Bee Pollen, Fields of Greens, Absorbent-C and A-Beta-CarE. The Forever Aloe Nutritional Drink also provides a fantastic supply of nutrients during pregnancy. Nutritional supplementation is needed more than ever in pregnancy, for a healthy mother and baby
