FAQs

When can I start taking red raspberry leaf?
The label says to use it only in the final 8 to 10 weeks of pregnancy and never before 32 weeks' gestation. Speak with your midwife or health care practitioner before you begin.

How long does the 250 ml bottle last?
At 1.7 ml three to four times a day, you use about 5 to 7 ml daily, so the bottle lasts roughly 37 to 49 days, enough to cover the late-pregnancy window.
