Whether you're trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or in the thick of breastfeeding, your body is doing a genuinely extraordinary thing. We're not going to add to your mental load.
So let's get straight to it.
Why we don't recommend CBD during this chapter
We'll always take the most cautious approach when it comes to your health during pregnancy, breastfeeding or while you're trying to conceive and so will every reputable wellness brand worth their salt.
Here's the honest reason why:
There simply isn't enough robust research on the effects of CBD during pregnancy and breastfeeding to say with confidence that it's safe. And in the UK, both the Food Standards Agency and the NHS advise that pregnant and breastfeeding women avoid CBD altogether. Not because there's evidence it's harmful, but because there isn't enough evidence to say it isn't.
When the science isn't settled, we'd rather sit it out than guess. You deserve nothing less than that.
What we'd recommend instead
If you're after something that genuinely fits this chapter of your life, our pick is Greens — our multivitamin drink, carefully formulated without CBD.
Greens is packed with vitamins and minerals chosen to support a body that's working overtime, in a chilled, easy-drinking format that doesn't ask anything of you beyond opening the can. It's the most cautious, considered option in our range. However it does contain Lion's Mane and Ashwagandha.
Please check with your healthcare provider
This CBD-free drink does contain adaptogens so we always recommend running it past your GP, midwife or healthcare provider before adding anything new to your routine during this particular chapter. They know you, they know your specific journey, and they're the best person to give you the green light.
That's how we'd want it for ourselves, too.
Take care of yourself. We mean it.
