Dr. Zhang Chunxia
Pregnant women may consume amaranth in moderation during pregnancy, but should avoid overconsumption. Amaranth is rich in plant-based protein, various vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber—nutrients that support both maternal and fetal growth and development, as well as help prevent constipation and maintain regular bowel movements. However, excessive intake may lead to nutritional imbalance.
