Pregnancy is a season of questions. Can you eat soft cheese? Should you switch your skincare routine? Do you need more sleep than ever—or somehow, more energy? And, of course, one of the most common questions we hear: Can you take greens powders while you’re pregnant?
The short answer: not always. Many greens powders on the market are formulated with high doses of vitamins, minerals, and herbs that aren’t safe—or simply haven’t been studied—during pregnancy. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up your daily ritual of supporting your gut, digestion, and overall wellness.
That’s exactly why we created Synbiotic Greens Powder—a safe, pregnancy- and breastfeeding-friendly option that’s backed by clinical insight and designed specifically for women.
So let’s unpack what makes Synbiotic Greens different, why gut health matters in pregnancy, and how you can confidently say “yes” to this daily greens ritual.
Why Gut Health Matters During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is one of the most powerful transformations your body can experience, and your gut microbiome plays a surprisingly central role in that process.
-
Digestion & Nutrient Absorption: With hormones like progesterone slowing down digestion, many women experience constipation and bloating. Supporting your gut with prebiotics and probiotics can help things move more smoothly.
-
Immune Support: Around 70% of the immune system lives in your gut. During pregnancy, your immune system shifts to protect both you and your baby—making gut support especially important.
-
Baby’s Microbiome: Research shows that the maternal microbiome directly influences your baby’s developing gut flora, shaping their long-term health.
In other words: nurturing your gut during pregnancy isn’t just about you—it’s also about setting the stage for your little one’s wellness, too.
The Problem With Most Greens Powders
Greens powders can be a great wellness habit, but many aren’t designed with pregnant women in mind. Here’s why:
-
Overloaded with Vitamins and Minerals: Many popular formulas contain high doses of vitamins and minerals that, when combined with your prenatal, can push you over recommended safe limits. For example, too much vitamin A can be harmful during pregnancy.
-
Unstudied Botanical Blends: Herbs and botanical extracts often sneak into greens powders. While they may sound healthy, many aren’t studied in pregnancy—or they’re actively cautioned against.
-
Added Sugars or Fillers: Some powders come with hidden sweeteners, synthetic ingredients, or unnecessary extras that don’t align with your clean routine.
The result? A product that may seem supportive but could actually be risky when layered into your prenatal or daily pregnancy diet.

Why Synbiotic Greens Powder Is Different
When we set out to create our Synbiotic Greens Powder, we asked: What would a greens powder look like if it were designed by OB/GYNs, naturopathic doctors, and dietitians for exactly where a woman is in her life—pregnancy included?
Here’s what we came up with:
-
Safe for Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: No excess vitamins, no risky botanicals. Just what your body needs, nothing it doesn’t.
-
Prebiotics + Probiotics: A clinically proven probiotic strain plus prebiotic fiber to help balance digestion and nurture your gut microbiome.
-
Superfood Greens & Antioxidants: Plant-powered support for your gut, immune system, and daily energy.
-
Tasty & Convenient: A refreshing açai flavor that mixes easily into water or your daily smoothie.
Powered by plants, made for women. Synbiotic Greens was built for this moment in your wellness journey.
Can Synbiotic Greens Powder Replace My Prenatal?
We get this question often. The answer: no—and that’s intentional.
Your prenatal multivitamin is designed to cover the essential nutrients you and your baby need: folate, choline, DHA, iron, and more. Synbiotic Greens, on the other hand, was designed as a complement—not a replacement.
Think of it this way: your prenatal lays the foundation, and Synbiotic Greens adds a layer of gut, digestive, and immune support without piling on extra vitamins that could tip you over safe pregnancy limits.
In fact, it’s specifically formulated to pair well with your prenatal routine.
One Good Thing a Day
Pregnancy can feel overwhelming, but wellness doesn’t have to be complicated. One of our favorite philosophies? One good thing a day.
Some days, that good thing might be a walk outside. Other days, it might be a nap. And sometimes, it’s as simple as stirring Synbiotic Greens into a glass of water—knowing you’re giving your gut the support it needs, safely and consistently.
It’s not about doing everything. It’s about doing one thing well.
