Dha supplement in pregnancy

Common Questions and Answers about Dha supplement in pregnancy

dha

Avatar f tn i take fish oil supplementation for DHA. the only concern there is impurities like mercury present in the fish oil - there are brands that make DHA capsules that have been purified for this purpose. some brands will even go as far to source their oils from the purest fish and highest standards, so that purification isn't even necessary. i take this one. it is made specifically for pregnancy: http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=YE-1021 hope this helps!
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar n tn I take Jamieson brand multivitamin + dha supplement, plus folic acid. I've never had a problem with them in regards to making me sick, the pharmacist suggested to take them after dinner and before bed and it works for me!
Avatar f tn My Dr told me at my second prenatal visit that my vitamin D count was low and that I needed to take 1000 mg everyday along with my prenatal. In my first pregnancy I didn't have this so I eventually stopped taking my prenatal vitamins but with this pregnancy I was starting to slack with the prenatal again until my Dr told me to take my prenatal along with Vitamin D. I've been diligent with taking my vitamins since. Has anyone else been Vitamin D deficient and had to take a supplement?

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 f tn t eat seafood. They have 240mg of DHA and 360mg of EPA in 2 capsules. My doctor told me to take them, but online I've been finding that the fish oil and other things in the over the counter supplements may be bad during pregnancy. The pharmacist told me to stop taking them and check with my Dr but my Dr told me to take them. Just wondering if anyone else is taking extra Omega 3 Fatty acids, and if so, what kind?

Avatar f tn The DHA supplements r believed 2 help brain development, but they are NOT proven 2 help anything. That's what my doctor told me. I wouldn't worry so much...DHA in prenatals is a relatively new thing...take our moms 4 instance, they didn't take DHA and we're obviously fine!!
Avatar f tn My doctor is big on dha. I take preferaOB ONE they have pre/post-natal Nutritional Supplement+DHA they're pretty good but its prescribed without insure they cost $123.00 :/. They also sell milk with DHA its pretty good but expensive.
Avatar f tn Hello and thanks for this service! Is it more beneficial to take an "omega 3 EPA & DHA fish oil supplement" or an "omega 3, 6 &9 EPA & DHA fish oil supplement"? I'm a bit confused as to which would be of the optimum benefit to purchase. Thanks for your time and expertise!
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!
628735 tn?1273875777 I read in an ADHD magazine today that new studies say that a supplement that is higher in Eph than Dha seems to show more results. Has anyone else read about this?
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn You're not too late. I take the gummie vitamins because all the others make me sick.
Avatar f tn My prenatals came with a fish oil supplement for the dha.
Avatar f tn You can go to cheaper brands, however, suggest looking for supplements that have the same content as what you are buying now. If some of the supplement have less omega 6 that is ok. Research has found that omega 6 counteracts omega 3's so the more omega 3s in the supplement, the better. Hoped I helped you and not confused you.
1192727 tn?1282735542 What should b added in diet 2 increase fertility n increase the chances of pregnancy?
Avatar f tn Because they provide DHA and Folic Acid both very vital in the growth and development of your baby throughout your pregnancy and more so in the first few weeks. And actually... prenatal vitamins should be taken by all women who are in their child baring age and take no precautions against pregnacy giving even an unexpected fetus the healthy enviornment it needs to grow.
12584065 tn?1436320514 It appears to be very safe from what I see, but the bigger concern is that there is very little quality control in supplement manufacturing. I was looking further because I wanted to find brand rexommendations. There is a ton of garbage in the vitamin aisle, particularly in the US - things without the stated active ingredient, things with unlisted ingredients, etc. I would ask a professional if it's recommended but primarily for a brand suggestion.
