Question by Nunya B: Why is St. John’s Wort Yogi Tea not good to drink during pregnancy?
If it’s herbal, it doesn’t have caffeine. Is it a detox tea? I’ve been trying to look stuff up on it and I’m not finding what exactly I want.
To Gena- Nuh uh they can’t because the unicorns gave me a magic potion.

I am not sure why it is not good to drink during pregnancy but I have always been told it decreases the efficiency of birth control pills. It must mess with hormone levels somehow.

From Wikipedia

Adverse effects
St John’s wort is generally well tolerated, with an adverse effect profile similar to placebo.[32] The most common adverse effects reported are gastrointestinal symptoms, dizziness, confusion, tiredness and sedation.[33] Hair loss has also been noted. [34]

St John’s wort may rarely cause photosensitivity. This can lead to visual sensitivity to light and to sunburns in situations that would not normally cause them.[32] Related to this, researchers at Fordham University, New York, showed in laboratory experiments that the drug reacts with light, both visible and ultraviolet, to produce free radicals, molecules that can damage the cells of the body.[35] These can react with vital proteins in the eye which, if damaged, precipitate out causing cataracts.

Some research shows that St John’s wort may adversely affect fertility in both men and women.[36]

Some anti-depressants, including St John’s wort, have been known to trigger mania in bipolar patients.[37][38]

Can you take green tea extract pills with Omega 3 pills?

Magi Mae asked:

I’ve taken green tea pills for as long as I can remember and last year had to stop for pregnancy/breastfeeding. I started taking Omega 3 for nursing women and have decided to stay on it past nursing. Can I take both safely? I don’t have a doctor at the moment to consult on this! Thanks!

arielchrisandjunior asked:

What about other antioxidants? I recently purchased a box of Hot chocolate by Hersheys “cacao reserve” it stated it had as much antioxidants as 3.5 cups of green tea and 2 glasses of red wine……..I polished off the box in a week and a half? Is it possible i caused my 16 week old fetus harm? I hope not. I also had a 12 oz. peach smoothie that is made w/ frozen green tea & nutrition powders for immune system boost with my lunch yesterday……Am I in a position to be worried? or Should I just back away from those two things I’ve been consuming. I need advice.

Is Yogi Detox Herbal Tea safe for me to give my two year old boy?

Green Tea Drinker — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:02:29 +0000

CaptainWow asked:

My son is sick. He has a cold and I was wondering if I could give him some Yogi Detox Herbal Tea. It’s caffeine free and the only warning I see on it is that women shouldn’t drink it during pregnancy.

I went to their website and can’t find anything saying otherwise.

Opinions?
