i don't remember my research on this fully, but i do recall that plant derived ALA's are not biologically equivalent to marine derived DHA. 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.
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!
My prenatals came with a fish oil supplement for the dha.
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!
At my first (10 week) appointment I asked my Dr to prescribe a vitamin so the insurance would pick up the bill, but before that (and for almost a year prior, when we were trying to conceive) I took vitafusion with DHA gummies.
Thought they were pretty yummy, even though they had the DHA (from fish oil, usually). I had gone to the march of dimes' website and they list what vitamins are important and how much you should take of each.
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.

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).
I took the Enfamil DHA & Omega- 3 supplement because it is designed for pregnant women, but I am sure that if your doc told you to take them then you are just fine. DHA/ Omega- 3 fatty acids are very important for your baby's brain development so I don't know why the pharmacist would recommend you stop taking them.
Pls which vitamins supplement can i use am 5wk. Help me with brands that are good.
You're not too late. I take the gummie vitamins because all the others make me sick.
I accidentally overdosed on Fish oil supplement. I has 2156 epa 314 mg dha I took 4 tablespoons of these because I thought it will be good for CV Health.
Now I am fearing that I am having a heart attack or stroke. After reading online that too much of Omega 3 can cause more problems such as heart attacks, strokes, GI tract problems, kidney problems.
Is this true. Does anyone know what foods help with digestion of Omega 3 from fish oil?
I looked on the labels and my prenatals did not have DHA but the accompanying Fish Oil Omega3 supplement I was taking did. I skipped it last night and feel alive today. THANK YOU SO MUCH I have a glimpse of hope to get through the 1st trimester now.
I use CitraNatal dha because the generics that I was taking made me sick and I haven't had any problems with these.
