We dont recommend adding milk or sugar, but follow your cravings and personal taste!

How is this a good alternative to caffeine?

Like the fresh fruits that they're made from, the fruit in our Get Up and Glow blend have lots of health benefits. They contain a variety of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. The grapes, hibiscus flowers and rosehip peels, all contain vitamin C which will help your immune system and help to protect you picking up colds - horrific in pregnancy.

The natural, low levels of sugar that naturally occur in the fruit infusion will also give you a pick up when you need it, without flooding your system with sugar. It'll have you revitalised, refreshed and ready to get up and glow whether you're pregnant, or a hard working mum.

Is hibiscus safe in pregnancy?

The short answer is yes - the NHS has no issues with hibiscus in pregnancy, but recommends not drinking more than 3 cups a day.

Google might terrify you and say that it's dangerous. But this is based on an animal study, where mice were given a huge quantity and had problems. This sounds scary, but bear in mind - the mice are given 1g of hibiscus per kg weight. This is the equivalent of a woman weighing 60kg eating 60g of hibiscus a day. One of our Get Up&Glow tea bags weighs 2.5g and has 10% hibiscus in (0.25g). You will only get around 60% of the polyphenols in the tea bag in an infusion, so per bag, 0.15g max is extracted. You'd therefore need to drink 400,000 cups a day to have the same dose and risk a similar effect (even if our bodies are different).
