Omega 3 and prenatal vitamins

Common Questions and Answers about Omega 3 and prenatal vitamins

omega-3

Avatar f tn Please don't misunderstand me. I am not advocating for not taking any multivitamins; I'm just saying that for specific vitamins and minerals, there are food alternatives that are better - if you incorporate them into your daily diet. I actually take Centrum and a folic acid supplement daily since they give me most of the vitamins that I need and don't cost much, but was spending alot of money on prenatal Omega-3 pills. The flax seed is an alternative to Omega-3 only.
871965 tn?1241833146 re covered. Prescription and OTC prenatal vitamins are very comparable in vitamin/nutrient dosage, just be sure your folic acid is 1mg. I am on a prescription prenatal called PreNexa. It contains DHA and a stool softener. Most OTC prenatals do not contain these additives, you would have to purchase seperately. You can call an OB office to consult a prenatal nurse to see what prenatal vitamins they recommend, or ask your local pharmacist.
Avatar f tn My doctor advises the Citracal Citranatal family of vitamins. They have different vitamins with DHA, Folic Acid and all the necessary vitamins for you and the baby. Here is the link for you to check it out. http://citranatal.com/Index.
Avatar f tn t know what brand you should use, but I use all natural prenatal vitamins and Omega 3 from natural health stores, I pay a little extra but they are worth it they don't have any chemicals or artificial additives that are unnecessary.
Avatar f tn Okay can someone tell me what is in the prenatal vitamins? I looked mine up and couldnt find the ingredients anywhere, I tosses out the papers that came with it too I am just curious Anyone ?!?!
Avatar f tn but after reading the label one bottle has dha, epa and omega 3 fatty acids, while the other bottle has all the other stuff like vitamins c, d e, folic acid, iron, copper etc. does this mean take both pills each day? have you seen this before? can you overdose?
Avatar f tn Can i take regular folic acid amd omega 3 vitamins while im pregnant? Should i wait until my doctor reccommends something? What should i do, im trying to make sure my baby gets everything it needs.
Avatar f tn I take one to fight babybrain. Omegas are stripped from myelin shealths during pregnancy and since they act as lubricant in the conduction of, essentially thoughts, our thought process is slowed. I didn't ask my doc about it yet but it does clear up fog in my brain.
Avatar f tn When pregnant, I took a prenatal, an Omega 3, and folic acid (extra from what was in the prenatal). Iron is also a good idea, if the prenatal doesn't have 100% of the daily recommended dose.
Avatar f tn I have only heard that you should talk to your doctor about any extra vitamins you take besides your prenatal. I have wanted to take garlic gel pills and omega 3, etc but I haven't because I don't want to worry that my baby is getting too much of something. They sat your body will filter out extra stuff, but its better to be safe rather than sorry.
Avatar f tn I love my nature made liquid gels with dha and omega-3. Very easy to swallow and no nausea problems very important fir me as solid vitamins make me puke regardless if I've eaten. When I start breastfeeding I may switch to similac liquid gels these particular ones require two pills a day the vitamin abd a mineral supplement. Not sure though need to do more research on these brute I decide also will cost about 20$ more per 90 days.

1129232 tn?1360800358 I have not even confirmed my pregnancy yet but i take these supplements every day along with my prenatal and i just noticed today that it says consult your physician if pregnant...
Avatar f tn They are ranked very high with prenatals and have dha and omega-3.
Avatar f tn Due to the fact that the prenatal pills are really strong and make me sick. They contain omega 3+dha, folic acid as much as 3 cups of spinach and vitamins a c and d.
Avatar f tn I take vitafusion prenatals, there gummies so they don't make me sick and they also have omega-3, folic acid, vitamins a,c and d, only $10 a bottle.
Avatar f tn Prenates make me sick so I take two Flintstones vitamins plus iron and have with all three pregnancies (including this one) and my babies are nice and healthy and I grew and was right on cue
Avatar f tn I love nature made liquid gels with added dha and omega 3. They run about 20$ for a 3 month supply. I buy at meijer when they do The buy one get one free deal. Very easy on the stomach if you vomit easy from vitamins like me.
Avatar f tn My prenatal have everything But omega 3 when do I start taking it? I'm 18 weeks.
581359 tn?1454006442 Hi I would recommend 'Pregnancare Plus'. There are two tablets to take daily- one is a prenatal multi vitamin with folic acid 400mcg and the other an omega 3 capsule for brain development. This is the UK's best selling prenatal vit so it is well known. It does not contain harmful vit A. You can get it on ebay- I am sure they will send outside UK too. I will be taking thme throughout pregnancy and while breastfeeding as recommended...
Avatar f tn I take my prenatal pill one times a day. And It has everything I need But No omega 3 an I heard to take it 2nd or 3rd trimester. Just don't remember what was said.
