Frequently Asked Questions
No once-a-day dose of anything will provide you absolutely everything you need on this journey. You may have personal nutrient deficiencies that need more careful nurturing, but everyone should consume an abundance of real foods throughout this time, the Mothers Blend was created with this in mind.
Whilst we often just use a spoon, water and the blend to roughly mix it in a glass and guzzle, I understand some of you want to make sure it is completely emulsified - and this is totally possible! Because the blend is free from chemical emulsifiers (eg soy lecithin), the blend will need a little help to completely mix in water, and the following quick and easy methods help you do just that.
- Use a juice instead of water. Whilst to me and many the beetroot juice makes for a sweet taste, organic, pure apple, orange or pineapple juice would be so, so delicious!
- Add your dose to any jar or mixer cup along with just a ¼ - ½ cup of water or juice and shake, shake, shake! It will completely emulsify and is like having a juice with zero pulp.
- Blitz the dose and ¼-½ cup of water in your blender just for a few seconds and it will emulsify to a pure juice.
- Combine the dose with a very small amount of water and turn it into a paste consistency using a spoon then add around ¼ - ½ cup of water until it fully emulsified.
- Add it into a smoothie or smoothie bowl with foods like strawberry, blueberry, banana, coconut cream, coconut milk or coconut yogurt, pure grass fed collagen powder, cucumber and zucchini etc
- Gummies, gummies and more gummies! Recipe on our Instagram
- Sprinkle on top of cooled porridge and blend if you choose
- Add to unsweetened yoghurt with berries and/or other fruit
- Gelatin capsules. Whilst this might seem tedious, reports have been that it is super easy and can be worthwhile for those that are very nauseous. You can get gelatin capsules from a health food store or chemist.

It is always best to do your own research, speak with your practitioner, and make the most informed and personalised decision for you!

Generally, women are told to avoid consuming large amounts of Liver during pregnancy because it is high in Vitamin A Retinol. We're advised against consuming too much Vitamin A during pregnancy, but certainly not to avoid it all together. Vitamin A is critical for the healthy development of the fetus, such as the development of many organs including the eyes, lungs, heart and kidneys. Vitamin A deficiency poses a risk to both Mother and Baby
For pregnant women aged 19 - 30 the Recommended Dietary Intake of Vitamin A during pregnancy is 800 mcg per day, and the Upper Level of Intake is 3,000 mcg per day. Those levels are slightly higher than those of a woman of the same age who is not pregnant. You can see those recommendations and other information about Vitamin A here.
One 7.5 g serve of The Mothers Blend contains a very small amount of Liver. The Vitamin A delivered in one serve is 630 mcg - this makes up around 78% of the RDI. As always, please consult your preferred practitioner for complete and personalised advice around this topic.
