Dangerous supplements (L Arginine) according to „it starts with the eggs“ is included in Pregnacare

[Lilly12255]

Has anyone noticed that the supplement L Arginine labelled as „harmful“ by the book „it starts with the eggs“ is included in the Pregnacare conception tablets? Has anyone got more detailed info on Arginine?

L Arginine is an amino acid that is contained in a lot of food naturally e.g fish poultry, nuts, so it will most likely be in your diet anyway. Its used in the body for wound healing, cardiovascular health, muscle growth amongst other things. It’s added to pregnacare as research shows it can improve umbilical artery blood flow and can reduce the risk of pre eclampsia. I’m sure that at high doses it could be problematic as with most things, but the levels in pregnacare won’t be anywhere near that so I wouldn’t worry. Hope this helps x
