Spoilage (TOTOX value = 57.
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:

My prenatals don't have DHA, should I switch from rainbow light?
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!
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?

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!
Hi ladies
My Doc prescribed me prenatal vitamins and prenatal vitamins with DHA.
I went to the pharmacy for a refill and the pharmacist was very surprised that I am taking both vitamins. She said that they both have the same ingredients, except that the one has DHA in it. It's like I am taking double dose.
Do you have any ideas if it's dangerous for my baby? I am in my 19th week. I wrote to my doc, he hasn't answered yet.
s version) but the dosage for ResQ1250 is 4-6 capsules per day for a capsule that has a much higher concentration of EPA and DHA?
Prenatal are not at all the same. Some are sourced from synthetic ingredients and contain GMO'S and pesticides. What you want is a whole food sourced organic prenatal vitamin. Typically rainbow light prenatal are good for those who want an easy 1 a day whole food based vitamin. It will provide you and your developing baby with the essential nitrients. Personally I use garden of life prenatals. You need to take a DHA supplement as well for your babies brain and nervous system development.
During 26 weeks of taking 4 capsules daily of concentrated fish oil (providing a daily total of 1,320 mg of EPA and 880 mg of DHA) rather than a placebo containing olive oil, 69.4% experienced at least a 50% improvement in symptom severity while only 40% of those given the placebo experienced this level of improvement. The greatest improvements were in depressive symptoms.

I used them for my first and current pregnancy. I like them fine. I feel they have everything I need but on the nauseous days it can be hard for me to swallow the two capsules and one is double the size of the other :p I'd still recommend them.
I buy the nature made brand prenatals from Costco. They're a great deal and have all the ingredients you need.
