How much Raspberry leaf tea...

Emmea12uk · Jun 25th, 2008, 17:16 PM

is too much??

because i am addicted to the stuff. I love the taste and i could just eat a box of tea bags lol!

I have worked my way up to three cups a day, but does anyone know whether you can overdo it? I do get BH whenever i drink it.

Tablets - Take two 300mg or 400mg tablets with each meal (three times a day) from 32 weeks.

Teabags - 1st trimester- one cup per day -2nd trimester - two cups per day -3rd trimester - up to 4 to 5 teabag cups throughout the day.

Loose leaf tea - Bring one cup of water to the boil. Remove from heat and add one teaspoon of the herb. Stir, cover and let sit for ten minutes (do not boil the herb), strain and sip. Adding sugar or honey many improve the taste. 2 to 3 cups per day is often recommended especially after 28 weeks of pregnancy.

its only what i found on the net
