Can you answer U can call him Max. Born 6/13/08’s question about Ginseng?:

Are advised not to have this particular one because there is an Energy Booster in it. I am curious what effects it would have on the baby. Maybe its just a precaution. I looked on their website and the energy booster has Panax ginseng and guarana in it if anyone knows anything about those ingredients.
I drank like 16 oz too….it wasn’t a small one by any means.

Thank you

Chinese Red Panax Ginseng

    Ginseng Feedback: They tell you not to drink coffee either, but I had half a cup almost everyday during both my pregnancies with no complications. Babies come out just fine when their mother’s take things alot worse than a little caffeine or other “energy boosters”. I see babies born to drug addicted mothers all the time, babies are born addicted to methadone, crack, nicotine and other horrible drugs. Ingesting a legal drug once during pregnancy isn’t going to do any long term damage. But it’s good that you’re concerned, sounds like you’re gonna have a healthy baby!
    Sorry, forgot to add great post! Can’t wait to see your next post!

    Ginseng Feedback: I think you will be fine. Just don’t do it again. Relax, and mention it to your doctor at your next appointment.

    Ginseng Feedback: You’ll be fine. Drinking them on a regular basis could pose potential problems, but one time isn’t going to hurt you or the baby.

    Ginseng Feedback: Too late to worry about it now. :P Don’t think so much into it, they also tell you not to eat hotdogs, but plenty of us have! :) There’s probably virtually no effect on the baby, depending on how far along you are.

    Ginseng Feedback: If this is the only time you’ve drank caffiene in your whole pregnancy, I’m sure you & your baby are going to be fine. You could check with your doctor if you are really concerned, however, I would think you should be fine.

    Ginseng Feedback: Don’t worry about it, just be more careful. Your baby is just fine.

    Ginseng Feedback: As long as you don’t make it a habit, you should be fine.

    Guarana has lots of caffene, which as you know, isn’t good for the baby. Gineseng on the other hand is something that isn’t regulated by the FDA so it has to come with that warning. I wouldn’t take that either, (I’m not sure of the side effects,) but as I said, so long as you don’t make it a habit, you’re fine.

    Ginseng Feedback: I don’t think the small amount ingested today is a large concern… but avoid taking any supplements from now on without your ob/gyn being aware of it.

    Ginseng Feedback: I’ve drank them before, gave a little boost to baby’s activity level, asked my doctor about it once, she said as long as i’m not drinking them like one right after another or more than like 3 a week, then it’s fine but, if you’re worried about it you should ask your doctor. Some doctors say different things as well depending on any pre-existing conditions and complications during pregnancy.

    Ginseng Feedback: The only thing I could find was not to take while pregnant. I would call your doctor and ask them. They would be better at telling you what you need to do or watch for.

    Ginseng Feedback: i think you will be okay, but i wouldnt do it any more. i drank red bull a couple times with my first pregnancy and my son is fine.
