Information

You may have heard rumors that Red Bull would be a food to be avoided during pregnancy. Although it is not expressly mentioned Red Bull in public health guidelines, it is recommended to limit its consumption because it contains caffeine and other ingredients that could be harmful to the baby. Moderate caffeine consumption during pregnancy is not considered harmful, but it is advisable to limit its consumption to 200 mg per day. A can of Red Bull contains 80 mg of caffeine, which means that you can consume up to 2 cans per day without exceeding the recommended limit. However, it is important to note that this should only be done occasionally because caffeine can cause side effects such as headache, palpitations and dizziness. In summary, although you can consume Red Bull during pregnancy, it is advisable to limit your consumption to only 2 cans per day. In any case, it is always better to consult a doctor before making decisions about your diet during pregnancy.
