Stumble It!
Do you feel nauseous every time you take your prenatal vitamins? Are you finding water tastes bland? This is exactly how Shawna Stevenson, the president and creator of vitamin drink mix Be Nice felt when she took hers. Knowing how important it is to stay hydrated during pregnancy and breast feeding, Shawna created this healthy alternative to promote hydration whilst making water less bland to the taste buds of pregnant women.
I have to say, I kept a jug of water with added fresh lemon in the fridge so I could reach for a refreshing thirst quenching beverage while I was pregnant. Now that I am nursing, I still take my prenatal vitamins, and drink water with lemon, but I also enjoy Be Nice. I bring the individual powder packets out with me so I can drink one whenever I feel I need an extra quenching drink. Be Nice not only quenches and hydrates, I also feel more energetic after drinking it.
You can take Be Nice once or twice a day, in addition to your regular prenatal vitamin, as directed and endorsed by Dr. Peter Hung - a holistic and integrative medicine physician. Otherwise you can take it 3 to 4 times a day in place of your prenatal vitamin, depending on your diet. Be Nice contains beneficial life’sDHA, a vegetarian source that is hexane free, (a toxic chemical sometimes used to extract DHA from fish oil). life'sDHA is the only DHA currently approved in US infant formulas. It's also found in many organic prenatal and baby brands.
As with other vitamins or medication, always consult your primary care physician before taking anything you might not be sure of. A good diet is always the foundation of prenatal health for expectant women.
You can buy Be Nice directly online at BeNiceInc.com or from leading online natural prenatal product retailer, Maternique.com
Be Nice to yourself and try this great alternative.
Haute Mama thanks Be Nice for the wonderful and very much enjoyed samples.
