They habe adequate folic acid and dha. They are almost always buy one get one free. I tried to take dr prescribed ones but they made me sick. My dr looked over the ones i take and said that they were just as good. I take 2 a day as directed on the bottle.
I'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?
I am constipated. The nurse told me to switch to Flintstones Complete. I noticed not all the vitamin levels are where they should be. I'm concerned about this. Has anyone else taken Flintstone Vitamin during their pregnancy?
Thank You!
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!
You can take as fancy or basic prenatals as you want. I just take walmart's generic brand. My ob said it's good enough. A lot cheaper than some of the other ones that include extra junk. My ob said as long as you're eating a varied and balanced diet there's no reason to pile on that extra stuff (like DHA, ect.) But it's totally up to you.
They're all good. Ask the pharmacist which they recommend. I take the cheaper brand, and it's just as good as the more expensive one. Some women find the prenatal pills make them feel sick, so you might have to experiment with which ones work best for you. In addition to my prenatals, I take Omega3 too, because I'm not eating all that much fish right now.
m in the same exact boat as you but I got some from my doctors (my ob) but my friend who just had a baby said that she used over the counter ones and they were chewable ones
Levels used in therapy to lower blood triglycerides, also a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, are higher, about 2-4 grams of combined EPA and DHA per day. The OSU studies with mice used DHA at levels comparable to the triglyceride therapies.
"DHA was more effective than EPA at attenuating inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis and hepatic damage," the researchers wrote in their conclusion.
Hi!
If you were my patient, I would recommend seeing a fertility specialist now.
I would NOT use DHEA (without a doctor's supervision) and I WOULD encourage DHA. A fertility specialist should check to see if you are ovulating regularly, if your tubes are open and if your partner has sufficient sperm/quality.
Don't wait, your fertility is not getting better!
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.
I started taking nature made prenatal with dha. My ob said to keep taking it, it was just as good as what she would have given me. I think the gummies don't have iron, and if you are a veg you are probably already gonna be low on iron, so you should probably take a prenatal with iron if you can stomach it. Try taking them before bed to reduce any stomach issues if you are sensitive. The prenatals are important since they have vitamins and dosages specifically for pregnancy.
What are your thoughts on taking fish oil or dha supplements through the third trimester for brain development? I'm thinking of doing it, I need to speak with my OB first, but I want some opinions :) Thanks!
My Asthma Dr. said that he would consider changing from Lipitor 5 mg to Crestor (dosage not yet mentioned) after 1 more blood test. 3 years ago another dr. suggested a change, but cardiologist said no need to. Another Dr. (forum) suggested using, in addition to Fish oil for tri-glycerides, niacin. And he said statin users should take CO-enzyme Q 300 mg.
