The March of Dimes recommends pregnant women get 200mg of the fatty acid DHA every day to support fetal brain development. After the baby is born, DHA consumed through breastfeeding may also help the baby’s eyes and vision7. The DHA contained in PreferaOB+DHA™ and PreferaOB ONE™ is life’sDHA™ which is plant-based, eliminating any concerns about ocean-borne contaminants or fish allergenicity. This DHA is also important for optimal infant brain, eye and nervous system development, as well as helping a mother’s emotional well-being after birth6.
