It seems that everyone is always talking about antioxidants, how much they rock, the best supplements, and so on. However, during pregnancy we know that we need to be careful about what we put in our bodies which brings up the question how safe are antioxidants during pregnancy. Antioxidants are very important because they protect your body from harm but it may not be helpful to overload on antioxidant supplements. In fact a few studies even show that antioxidants in supplement form are not as useful as antioxidants gained from foods and may even cause harm. Until more conclusive research is completed it's likely best to obtain all your antioxidant needs from the healthy foods you need to grow a healthy baby anyway. Fresh fruits and veggies plus avoiding smoke from your own or other people's cigarettes is the best way to boost your antioxidant defensives during pregnancy. If you want to really pump your antioxideanrs go organic. A recent four-year European Union study showed that organic foods contain up to 40% more antioxidants than their conventional peers.

Antioxidants are known as cancer fighters. Without going into too much detail, antioxidants will bond with (and "neutralize") free radicals, which are the particles which cause cancer.

Is it safe to take excedrin while breastfeeding?

It is not recommended to take while breastfeeding, because it contains a lot of caffeine, which can cause excitability and restlessness in the infant. It also contains aspirin which can be passed through breastmilk. Aspirin can thin the blood and is not considered safe for children because of the risk of Reye's Syndrome. You should definitely call your healthcare provider or pharmacist to discuss whether this is a safe medication.
