Took whey protein with glutamine is it safe

[preglady]

Hi,

I am in my 7 week and am vegetarian, so to increase protein intake started taking whey protein supplements and found that an ingredient GLUTAMINE is not safe for pregnant woman, i might have taken over 3 scoops for a period of 4 weeks(have been only taking a tablespoon in my milk each day), after reading about this ingredient i am a little nervous, can somebody tell me will it effect my child in any way?!!

WebMD States there isn't enough information to determine if it's safe or not, so just advise against it. I would say stop immediately if you haven't and ask your doctor about it. Usually, when they test on animals, they don't start seeing negative outcomes until they've had MORE (like tons more) than the recommended dosage by weight.

I do organic hemp protein. I used it with my son and have started to add it into this pregnancy. It's not good for milk, works best in smoothies.
