Omegas

DHA

The omega-3 that builds your baby's brain and eyes.

What it is

Docosahexaenoic acid is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid concentrated in the brain and retina. The body converts very little ALA (plant omega-3) into DHA, so intake comes largely from fish or algae sources.

Why it’s used

Supports fetal brain and eye development, especially in the third trimester.
Supports healthy inflammatory balance and blood flow.
Most prenatal multivitamins do not include enough DHA on their own.

What research says

Major health bodies recommend at least 200 mg DHA daily during pregnancy and lactation.
Cochrane reviews of omega-3 supplementation in pregnancy report reduced risk of preterm and early preterm birth.
Observational research links maternal DHA status with infant visual and cognitive development scores.

Typical dose: 200–300 mg DHA daily throughout preconception, pregnancy and nursing.
