Research shows that healthy DNA levels in mothers during pregnancy and lactation support optimal brain and visual development in babies. Prenatal DHA provides mood support for mothers before, during, and after pregnancy in small, easy- to- swallow soft gels. The DHA requirement of a developing baby increases dramatically as pregnancy progress and brain growth accelerates. This fatty acid is concentrated in the brain and retina where it is a critical component of cell membranes. Maternal diet and lifestyle influence the amount of omega-3s that are available to the growing baby. As the official omega-3 of the American Pregnancy Association, Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA is an exceptionally pure and trusted source of DHA and vitamin D3.
