DHA Supplements, What Kind, and Where to Find?!?!

M.,
Sometimes the prenatal vits with DHA do not have enough DHA in them to really make and impact. I would recommend taking the "Nordic Naturals" brand because they purify the fish oil they use so you won't get any of the mercury that can be in some fish. You should get one that has both DHA and EPA. This is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your baby - the benefits are outstanding! Oh, and you can just take fish oil, but it is really stinky and hard to get down. And you might belch up fishy smell all day. Yuck!!
All the best,

Just have your doctor prescribe prenatals with DHA in them. I take something called "PrimaCare One". It's less hassle than taking two pills.

that's strange. i just got hte pills with dha from my obstetrician. i always vomit them up though. they're killer on the stomach. I actually don't take them anymore cuz I can't keep them down. But your obstetrician should be able to get them for you.

I have taken Omega-3 for 3 years. I am so happy with the results & my husband takes it too. I take a brand that is available at Trader Joe's. It is odorless & it contains 1200 mg fish oil, 400 mg EPA & 200mg DHA.
I initially took Omega-3 to help with menstrual problems & noticed after 2-3 months my skin was better too.
Then I started reading how it is great for brain & heart health.
