THORNE Prenatal DHA 650 mg - 200 mg - 960 mg Prenatal Dietary Supplement Gelcaps 60 per Bottle

We all know that prenatal vitamins and minerals are crucial to both mother and child's health. Thorne has not forgotten about development of baby's brain. That's why Thorne designed a dietary supplement with two essential omega-3 fatty acids – DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) – to support a healthy pregnancy and development of baby's nervous system. DHA is especially important for healthy fetal and infant development, accumulating in a baby's developing brain primarily during the third trimester of pregnancy through the first 2 years of life. DHA supports a healthy pregnancy as well. Although the body can make some DHA, its conversion rate is low, so most DHA needs to be consumed in the diet. The primary dietary sources of DHA – fatty, cold-water fish – aren't heavily consumed in a western diet, so an omega-3 nutritional supplement can help a mother reach an optimal DHA level.

• Omega-3 fatty acids support mom and baby during pregnancy and through nursing.
• DHA and EPA support memory and mood – before, during, and after pregnancy and promote normal fetal brain and nervous system development.
• Omega-3 fatty acids support metabolism by helping to maintain a healthy insulin response.
• DHA levels in breast milk are essential to baby's growth and development.
• Building immune function is crucial for infants and omega-3 fatty acids can help with that.
• A bottle has 60 gelcaps, each of which have a hint of mint and rosemary to counteract the fish oil burp that is sometimes a mildly negative side effect of taking fish oil supplements, particularly for pregnant women.
• The easy-to-take gelcaps are smaller than most omega-3 supplements.
• This fish oil has been tested for more than 250 environmental contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, dioxins and PCBs.
