Thanks for your question! Our Healthcare Expert will be answering some questions every week but in the meantime, here's a little tip from our Careline! During pregnancy, it is important that your body receives lots of nourishing food to enhance the immune system, balance the energy, and strengthen the lungs. Drinking tonic soup such as Ginseng and chicken essence will help to boost and restore energy, improve body’s immune system and stimulate appetite. Having said that, every pregnancy is different and changes do occur in a woman's body which might require special care from a medical specialist. So it is recommended to consult your gynecologist/doctor before taking any form of supplement or tonic during your pregnancy.
