1885735 tn?1322375616 I take both, a prenatal vitamin and a dha supplement. I have been since I was 4 weeks (when I found out), and now I'm 27 1/2 weeks. I always take them with food though.
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?
1192727 tn?1282735542 Fish oil capsules contain both DHA and EPA. Supplements containing EPA may not be recommended for infants or small children because they upset the balance between DHA and EPA during early development. Pregnant women should talk to their doctor before taking fish oil supplements. Fish oil capsules may cause minor side effects, such as loose stools, abdominal discomfort, and belching. In addition, they may prolong bleeding time slightly.
668044 tn?1225913014 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!
Avatar f tn 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..
Avatar f tn My prenatals are called prenateDHA with quatrefolic. It has everything you need and with insurance it's pretty reasonably priced.
4986074 tn?1362647471 Yes, if you are pregnant or trying to get pennant, you need to be taking a prenatal vitamin with omegas in it (dha and epa). This will help your body conceive and maintain pregnancy and prevent problems such as neural tube birth defects (benefit of folic acid).
Avatar f tn Prima Care vitamins are the number 1 prescribed vitamins in the country so that has to make you feel good about them. They have the most EPA and DHA than any other prenatal. I looked them up when I was given them and they meet the NIH recommendations. I visited their website and they seem to take care of everything from a one pill to a two pill to a chewable to even one without omega 3s if you don't want to take those. I love them!
566175 tn?1278430472 I am looking for a good prenatal, with DHA and a stool softener. I am interested in hearing what all you girls take and any feedback. Thanks!
Avatar n tn re all in my prenatal vitamin. The only thing that is low in the prenatal is calcium. So, I take my prenatal, calcium, and vitamin C. Hope that helps!
Avatar n tn Idk what is in the pills you are talking about but if it doesnt have dha/epa i would suggest going ahead and taking actual prenatal vitamins. Dha is to help with brain development.
Avatar m tn After pooling and reviewing studies using a total of 1,000 mg to 6,000 mg of EPA and DHA, those in which EPA was 60% or more of the total showed a highly significant improvement, whereas those that were less than 60% EPA did not.
Avatar n tn I like Garden of Life vitamin code raw prenatal. It is organic,from whole food source,non gmo. Has natural folate instead of lab created folic acid which can be toxic to your system. Also Nordic Naturals Algae Omega for EPA AND DHA important for babies brain development! VITACOST.COM HAS these at better price than most places!
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn s labeled the prenatal multivitamin tablet. The other bottle has a smaller yellow gel capsule that is labeled prenatal DHA/EPA liquid gels. Totally fine to take together :) definitely eat with them!
Avatar f tn I'm 11 weeks pregnant with my 1st child. Just had my first prenatal visit over a week ago. Doc said he wanted me start omega pills & handed me a flyer with different brand name options. The one that stood out was Nordic Naturals. I went to their website, click the pregnancy tab & reviewed the options for pregnancy which were Cod liver oil & Prenatal DHA. My best friend who already has a child told me the cod liver oil was the best so I decided to buy it.
628735 tn?1273875777 that Sprouts produces they have a big article and it is all about the same, it states Try a blend of EPA and DHA at 250mgs for ages 3-6 and 500mgs 7-11 1000mgs for age 11 plus also stating that instead of reaching for Ritalin or prozac consider if they are getting enough magnesium.says the author of Magnesium Miracle" Carolyn Dean MD ND some interesting stuff that I am going to digest.
Avatar f tn I take a prenatal vitamin with iron and also a DHA only prenatal vitamin. I'm 8w+2d and haven't been to my first obgyn appt yet, have that at 10 weeks. Don't know if this helps, just what I decided to do.
Avatar m tn I am taking Nature Made prenatal multi + DHA I started the vitamins 2 months before getting pregnant and they never made me sick... Not even in my first trimester....
Avatar f tn I just take the prenatels from Walmart the generic that have the dha/epa and prenatal vitamin. I also have to take 4 mg of folic acid. Ever since I started taking them at night I have only felt sick from them a couple times. I believe that was from eating right before hand. Try not to do that. I'm 36+4 days today and started taking them at night when I was maybe 10 weeks.
Avatar n tn html if you use it as a painkiller because of inflammation look for a real supplement of fish oil omega 3 (most contains such low amounts to be useless) that contains 4,5g minimum of fish oil (about epa 1-2g and dha 1-2g).
Avatar m tn 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.
