Common Questions and Answers about Dha pregnancy amount

dha

871965 tn?1241833146 If you get fish oil/omega 3 fatty acids, make sure the quantities list DHA and an amount specifically eg. EPA 650 mg DHA 450mg Dont take it if it says Omega 3 1650mg Includes EPA and DHA High Quality like "Nordic Naturals" is best. (Available at whole foods and GNC.) Because they use only the highest quality with the least amount of mercury (which can be harmful during pregnancy, that is why you should limit fish.) High quality fish oil is safe to take during pregnancy.
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 f tn m taking the prescription vitafol-ob+dha which is $55 and I was taking bellybar before and during the earlier part of pregnancy which has almost 2x the amount of vitamins but no dha for $13 is it safe to switch back? Is there something else that I am overlooking?
1969424 tn?1353020641 Brainstrong prenatals, I like the amount of DHA and folic acid, I did a lot of reading of labels and they seem to have the most of the important stuff. I started on gummies but then I realized there were some important things that were missing.
7062279 tn?1388370086 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).
Avatar n tn I like the women's one a day prenatal with the dha. My last pregnancy I started with those and did well then I switched to the cheapest ones and my iron went low. So I went back to the women's one a day and didn't have anymore problems with my iron.
Avatar f tn I love the nature made with dha. I take an extra folic acid of 400 mcg to equal the amount in a prescription prenatal. Never had an issue with sickness or nausea. Good luck!
1166767 tn?1315427171 d be ok for you to take Duet DHA instead of Gesticare DHA. Those are the ones I take and they are great. They even have a generic which of course has the excat same thing for only $5.00. It is also prescription. You don't have to pay that much for your vitamins :) Good Luck!
566175 tn?1278430472 I take this two step vitamin with DHA being a second step, CVS brand. No stool softener though. I think to get a stool softener you need prescription vitamins.
Avatar f tn U can do that. Most prenatal vitamins that also have dha r two separate pills anyway. I take regular omega 3 fish oil pills from vitamin shop in conjunction with my prenatals from cvs. U may want to look into dha specifically for pregnancy, but they're also way more expensive. Also check to make sure the fish oil comes from small fish like sardines or anchovy and that it doesn't contain soy. It's a lot to look into, but I hope this helps.
961574 tn?1520648103 Trimedisyn is a product that is at the top of my list for prenatal vitamins and is the prenatal vitamin I had my wife use during her pregnancy. Trimedisyn contains the right proportions of ingredients needed to give you and your baby the minerals and vitamins necessary for a healthy pregnancy. No corners were cut when making this product. Trimedisyn contains a number of very effective ingredients that have been clinically proven to help the mother and baby during pregnancy.
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.
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.
7585726 tn?1397871765 Noooooooo. Should probably of asked way sooner lol but read the prenatal bottle. Should have 800 mg of folof acid and some iron in it I forget how much. Only time u would need to take extra vitamins of it your prenatal don't have dha. I tale spring valley prenatal and 200mg of dha.
Avatar f tn Spring Valley with all 3 of my pregnancies.
Avatar m tn I am with baby _ nature made + dha. Never made me sick either.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn As bubuh said, it's normal to cramp early on, even throughout the whole pregnancy since your uterus is stretching and making room for baby. Spotting is also normal early on, as long as it isn't a large amount of blood or clots, but ALWAYS report any kind of spotting or bleeding to your doc/midwife. It's normal not to have symptoms, it's normal to have every symptom in the book, it is also normal to have a week of symptoms and the next day they just be gone all of a sudden.
Avatar f tn FISH OIL has both DHA plus EPA. The lattest is not good for pregnancy but the DHA is good, so don't take fish oil as they sell it, get DHA alone. All pharmacies have it.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn Dha not djs
Avatar n tn Yes. Research/Google vitamin & mineral amoumts needed for pregnancy. If you buy a prenatal vitamin, folic acid, DHA, and the correct amount of vitamins and minerals will be included in it for you.
Avatar m tn s worth noting that the amount of EPA given and ratio to DHA are consistent with those suggested by earlier research for treating depression. A possible explanation for moderate improvements in depression among those who respond to fish oil, is that fish oil increases white matter (myelinated fibers that connect brain cells) in areas of the brain which can be compromised in depression.
