Prenatal DHA

Prenatal DHA: Essential Omega-3 Support for Pregnancy and Fetal Development

Thorne’s Prenatal DHA is a high-quality omega-3 supplement specifically formulated to support the unique needs of pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, as well as their developing babies. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a crucial omega-3 fatty acid that plays a significant role in the development of a healthy brain, nervous system, and eyes, particularly during pregnancy and early childhood. Thorne’s Prenatal DHA provides a potent dose of DHA and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) to ensure optimal health outcomes for both mother and baby.

Clinical Applications

• Promotes Healthy Pregnancy: Supports maternal health during pregnancy by aiding memory, mood, and metabolism, and maintaining a healthy inflammatory response.
• Enhances Breast Milk Quality: Promotes DHA levels in breast milk, ensuring the baby receives adequate DHA for growth and development.
• Supports Immune and Heart Health: Provides immune support and promotes healthy heart function in both mother and baby.
• Reduces Pregnancy-Related Nausea: Contains rosemary, mint, and mixed tocopherols to reduce fish burps and be gentle on the stomach, making it easier for mothers who experience pregnancy-related nausea.

DHA by the Numbers

• Brain Composition: Approximately 60% of a healthy brain is comprised of fat, with DHA accounting for over 90% of the fatty acids in the brain and retina.
• Brain Function: The frontal and prefrontal lobes, which rely heavily on DHA, are crucial for learning, problem-solving, attention, and maintaining a positive mood.
• Dietary Intake: The average daily intake of DHA and EPA in U.S. adults is only 90 mg, with even lower levels in children and teenagers. Most researchers recommend a minimum of 500 mg DHA + EPA daily.
