IS IT SAFE TO TAKE “SOBOLO” DURING PREGNANCY?

Hi Dear I will like to draw your attention to this since your page is all about pregnancy. I am a married woman with 3 kids. I was pregnant again n I lost the pregnancy. I decided to find answers and discovered that sobolo drink is contraindicated in pregnancy. I never new this until I fell victim. I almost died on Wednesday out of hemorrhagic shock. Can u please research deeper into it and let the public know. It might save a life. Thanks from- Akua

Sally– During pregnancy I used to take it till I realized it turned my teeth dark immediately I took it. I knew it was a reaction. I avoided it completely for my own safety.

Just like most herbal teas and medication, you cannot be sure of the dosage, efficacy and its effect on your pregnancy

The fact that it is herbal does not mean it is safe

Yes it has antioxidants, vitamin C and other nutrients but what are the other components and how does it affect pregnancy

Some effects it can have on your pregnancy

It lowers your blood pressure and also can increase blood flow to the uterus.

It can initiate contractions which can lead to bleeding

It may also affect your hormones and should be avoided during the first trimester of pregnancy

Women on antihypertensive should avoid taking “sobolo” or hibiscus

More research needs to be done on its effect during pregnancy.

Avoid “SOBOLO” during pregnancy if possible and use with caution under your doctors instructions.
