My wife is taking sugar free l arginine sachets since 1 week. I found on back side of l arginine sachets that it contains aspartame. I have heard that aspartame is not safe in pregnancy. Kindly suggest is it safe in pregnancy.

Aspartame is safe if taken in moderation during pregnancy.

Aspartame is not safe per se but in moderate doses it will not cause harm. Moreover these items are not quantified so the quantity or time period can only be guessed. There are some brands of arginine which do not have any added ingredient like argihenz tablet. she can shift to this tablet for mental peace if dhe likes.
