Prenatal DHA

You want your child to be healthy, smart, and to develop properly. Most expectant mothers usually stick to a healthy diet from the moment they learn of their delicate condition. But they ask themselves: what is good for me and the baby? In the initial stages of pregnancy and later on during breastfeeding, you should eat much more protein, vitamins, magnesium and unsaturated fatty acids which are essential to your child's development, especially DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which is necessary for proper brain development. In the last weeks of pregnancy and in the first two years of your child's life, the brain develops at its most intensive. A properly balanced diet affects the health of both you and your baby. Mother's milk naturally supports the immune system and promotes the child's intellectual development.

Research shows that breastfed children show much higher DHA concentration in the cerebral cortex and the retina. DHA in breast milk comes from DHA-rich food in the mother's diet. Eating habits, fear of hypersensitivity, , and contamination of DHA-containing fatty sea fish all contribute to low fish consumption among Polish women. For this reason, the DHA content in breast milk is too low by more than a half of what is recommended by the World Health Organization. Therefore, you should supplement your diet with DHA in the third trimester of pregnancy and during breastfeeding.

Prenatal DHA is the first formulation on the Polish market designed to supplement the diet of pregnant and lactating women with DHA. Each capsule contains 300 mg DHA, which is amount consistent with recommendations for pregnant and lactating women by experts from ISSFAL - the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids. This is why 1 capsule of Prenatal DHA a day will suffice. The formulation contains omega-3 from highly purified tuna oil, in which the DHA to EPA ratio is closest to that in human breast milk.
