Hyaluronic acidCan you take hyaluronic acid when pregnant or breastfeeding?
Updated 9 Nov 2026
Short answer
There is little data. PubMed searches for this page found no controlled trial of hyaluronic acid supplements in pregnant or breastfeeding women. When EFSA judged rooster comb extract safe, pregnant women were not in the target group that the maker proposed.[1] Ask a doctor or midwife before you take it.[1]
