Up & Go

[Heaven]

This might be a stupid question... I'm a little paranoid, lol.
I bought some up & go's today, you know, the drink?
Anyway it says it has all these vitamins in it, including vitamin A. As I'm TTC I want to do everything right so when I get pregnant I'm not doing anything I shouldn't be. And I know you're not supposed to have vitamin A supplements in pregnancy. Would this be considered like a supplement?? Or is it just the normal part of you're daily intake of vitamin A. It says it contain's 17% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin A.
Any ideas if this is ok for when I do get pregnant?
Thanks guys.

I drank them twice a week whilst TTC, now look at my ticker! I drink them when I have to get up early for BT's, something decent in my tummy.

Thanks guys.
So you would think the vitamin A in them is ok?

I was concerned about this because I drink milo, so I did some google research to find out safe levels of vitamin A during pregnancy. The safe amount is WAY higher than what you would get in a glass of milo - so I have kept drinking it. In one of the BellyBelly articles, it says no more than 2500IU per week. Check out how much is in Up & Go.

Also the Up & Go Website says...

Up & Go Energize has been developed to provide similar nutrition to a bowl of Weet-Bix and milk. As milk naturally provides a source of vitamin A, Up & Go Energize contains added vitamin A to a level similar to dairy milk. Pregnant women are advised to avoid very high levels of vitamin A, such as those found in supplements or some offal meats, as it can be toxic to the unborn baby. However, it is not necessary to avoid foods that naturally contain vitamin A, such as dairy milk. Therefore, the vitamin A content of Up & Go Energize is an appropriate level for pregnant women, and Up & Go Energize therefore is suitable/safe for pregnant women to consume.
