dha depression

I was in the same situation with my 1st and it was a very trying time. But coming from someone who's been there ask ur dr to refer you to a therapist to help deal with your depression. I promise talking to a professional will help. Plus they help you mentally stabilize to be ready for the baby.

Taking a supplement with EPA and DHA A study of depressed older women in a nursing home setting showed that after taking high-dose omega-3 fatty acids for eight weeks (2,500 mg once daily consisting of 1,670 mg EPA and 830 mg DHA), 40.9% had a remission of depression compared to 16.7% of those taking placebo. This study also found a statistically significant improvement in the self-assessed quality of life and that the fish oil treatment was well tolerated.

t expect curcumin to help, though, and it it does, expect it to take years for it to work. DHA also probably has no effect on anxiety or depression; what it mainly claimed is that it helps with maintaining a healthy brain and improving cognition, but anxiety is thought to come from the amygdyla in the primitive brain where this doesn't matter and nobody knows where depression comes from at this point.

I was definitely feeling a little depressed, I am normally not depressed. I am 9w4d today. It was the worst between 7 and 8 weeks, I was so tired and nauseated and just felt very sad and lonely, even with a wonderful husband and daughter. Then I realized I had stopped taking my omega-3 supplement (DHA and EPA), it's a fat your body NEEDS but you can only get it from dietary intake or supplements.

I have long term depression dysthymia and then major depression sometimes. It REALLY makes life challenging.

Does ur prenatal vitamins have dha? Is it ok to take them tablets with dha? The one i take doesn't have it but im trying to get gummies to substitute but all gummies seem to have dha.

Okay so my current prenatal vitamin does not have Dha in it...is it possible for me to take a Dha vitamin in conjunction with my prenatal vitamin?...if so what is a good brand to take?

I started seeing a therapist to help with my fears and it has helped a lot! I also started taking extra DHA because I read in several books that it is good for your baby's brain development and also for your own emotions. They actually tell people with depression who arent even pregnant to take it because it helps your seritonin flow.

s high quantity of EPA and DHA. DHA in particular is essential for proper brain function. Some people do feel lessened depression with a high dose of fish oil daily. I don't know about anxiety. Make sure you buy one from a good company that uses clean fish; I prefer Nordic Naturals. However, by itself, I don't think it will solve your problem; natural remedies are usually used in combination. Good luck.

I have taken Krill Oil consistently to treat ADHD, Depression, and Anxiety. What is triggering my curiosity relates to the following - I have a strange skin condition on my arm I have developed over the last 3-4 years which seems to come in go whereby I have these white patches that appear all over my arms, more on my left than right. I have noticed that when I stop taking krill oil is significantly reduces the symptoms of this condition.

So i visited a friend today and she looked at my prenatal vitamins that i had with me and was surprised they didn't have dha in them. She gave me some dha vitamins and recommended that i take them and continue to do so. My dr didn't mention dha. Am i alone in this?

The FDA says that it is safer to have DHA from a non fish source. I say the DHA is straight from the fish and not good to take! I would not take it or stop. I take the one Enfimil makes and it is I think $11 a month from Walmart and it is from a none fish source. I would tell your ob you wnat another one if you don't want that one!

So I Bought prenatal pills and they don't have dha. So when I had my 1st Dr appt at 5 weeks he said buy dha prenatal so I have been taking them. I'm 20 weeks tomorrow and a few days ago I ran out so I been taking the prenatal pills without dha until I get paid. But I'm wondering is it even a big deal which pills i take since I'm out of 1st trimester?

DHA is a kind of Omega 3 fatty acid (which is usually DHA+EPA) Omega 3 s are considered really beneficial for our brain and general health..and considered really good for fertility.. they're found in fatty fish or you can take them as supplements..

One of my prenatal vitamins have DHA but no iron, and the other has iron but no DHA...The one with iron has a little higher percentage of vitamin C as well...which one should I take? If I take the one with no DHA is it ok to takr Advocare Omega Plex supplement on the side? Or should I take the vitamin with DHA and take iron on the side? These have me confused!

no it is not harmful it is a must, but the quality and concentration of epa and dha must be very high at 2-3g daily (fish oil quantity is not useful check epa/dha), most products are scam with very low dha/epa so useless.

I am with baby _ nature made + dha. Never made me sick either.

I'm taking DHA per my Dr bc he asked me was I going to breastfeed and I told him yes!

im using nature made (i have used without dha ) now using with dha. still ttc for a year a few months now .. i was also using fertility blend for women, with lots of hope, sadly it made my stomach sick, so i had to stop that.

DHA comes from a source that is known as being pretty clean and doesn't give you the anti-coagulant problems (thining of the blood) that sometimes you run into with fish oil, so I think DHA omega 3s are okay to take with a baby aspirin unlike regular fish oils. You can find is at any drug store next to the over the counter prenatal vitamins. I actually ordered mine from drugstore.com. Plus DHA is great for the baby once you are pregnant!!

What brand of prenatal vitamins is everyone using? Im using nature made with dha. Just wondering if there is one kind of prenatals that are better than another.

DHA is in fish oil, and it's for baby's brain development. Some women don't like fish, or won't eat it because they're afraid of the mercury content, but the DHA in capsure form is mercury free, and has a lot of really good benefits for you and baby (if you weren't getting DHA from the pills, or from eating lots of fish, baby would just take the DHA in your body and use that, but you use it too, so you'd be in short supply).

I take One A Day Prenatal with DHA/EPA. The box (for $13) comes with one bottle of 30 prenatals and a bottle of 30 DHA/EPA pills. I have been taking them together through my pregnancy. My OB recommended them if the ones she prescribed didn't work out (they gave me a stomach ache so I went with One A Day). I have heard nothing but good things! I recommend them!
