i think i'm drinking that one.hi there. i got a few boxes of bird nest as gifts. been drinking them once every few days for now. really tasty and i love it.
during pregnancy can drink right? cannot resist not drinking it you know.
lovelymother, are you drinking the nestural bird nest with american gingseng and rock sugar? i just realised i'm drinking that now. :shyxxx:
during my pregnancy, i consulted a chinese doctor on whether it's ok to drink birdnest. he told me the same thing as yours did. i think it all depends on each individual. not everyone has the same system.I do hear from colleagues that birdnest will trigger asthma, but personally i dont recall myself got asthma attack after taking birdnest (i do have asthma since young). Guess it's depends on individual.
I went to see a chinese doctor at Yu Ren Sheng. She told me that birdnest may cause phlegm to some pple. She did say i can take birdnest, but moderately. And if it does cause phlegm for me, then i should stop taking it.
But with so many range of birdnest out in the market, are their nutrients all the same as there's a wide range of cost difference in them?
Anyone can advise on the different type of birdnest??
I know there's processed and unprocessed raw ones. The processed ones will be cleaned (have the feathers and whatnots taken out, might be bleached as well) before being packed. The unprocessed raw ones might be cheaper, cos there are lots of "dirt".I do hear from colleagues that birdnest will trigger asthma, but personally i dont recall myself got asthma attack after taking birdnest (i do have asthma since young).

i do agree with you in many ways. buy from a reputable brand is the best.i think if you're buying the bottled ones it's best to buy it from a reputable brand.
for instance, nestural bird nest is from huiji i believe. the brand that gave us the well known waist tonic which im taking now still.
as for those that need to be cooked, i think it's best to consult the sales person on the quality of it.
oh yes! my mil bought me some wulu brand from msia before. no label no nothing. and the taste was just not to my likely. one bite of it and i ask my hubby finish for me. :Xi do agree with you in many ways. buy from a reputable brand is the best.
i bought from malaysia once. some unknown brand of birdnest because it was really cheap and the quality looks really good. despite the look, the taste was horrid and also the birdnest were actually like those fake jelly.
so now i'm just sticking to reputable brands now. huiji is actually quite a well established brand that has been around for a long time already.
ladies, do take note when you're buying bottled bird nests.
contrary to believe, not all birdnest have nutritional value for the baby.. most eaten will only go to the mother and become "mei mei" (pretty). to identify which type of birdnest.. usually you must find an honest medical hall to let you know (which is almost impossible !)
and birdnest for preggers mummies should be taken salty.. and not sweet. (trust me, taste utterly yucks!).
oh yes! my mother in law bought me some wulu brand from msia before. no label no nothing. and the taste was just not to my likely. one bite of it and i ask my hubby finish for me. :X
i've been drinking products from huiji for about a year plus already. got recommanded to huiji by my relatives. and so far it's good . so i guess i'm sticking to them for now.
the nestural birdnest is good but i have to keep reminding myself that everything must be taken in moderation. :wong19:
hi there steven.my wife now 4mth pregnant.
i get the bird nest from Fu hua.
i cook bird nest almost everyday for my wife..
i break 1 bird nest into half and boil and eat 2 times. eg evening and tomorrow morning.
so should i continue?
yes. nestural may be good but moderation is the key to good health.yes dear, everything in moderation please.
nestural may be good but i dont think you should drink it everyday.
once every few days should be fine especially if you're pregnant now.
