DHA is an essential omega-3 fatty acid critical to healthy brain, nerve, and eye development—making it especially vital during pregnancy, when it accumulates rapidly in a baby's developing brain from the third trimester through the first two years of life.

Because the body converts DHA inefficiently on its own and most people don't eat enough cold-water fish to compensate, Thorne's Prenatal DHA helps mothers reach optimal levels, providing 650 mg of DHA and 200 mg of EPA per serving to support a healthy pregnancy, memory and mood, normal fetal brain and nervous system development, healthy insulin response, immune function, a balanced inflammatory response, and heart health—while also promoting DHA levels in breast milk for baby's continued growth.

Formulated with rosemary, mint, and mixed tocopherols to minimize fish burps and ease stomach sensitivity, these softgels are smaller and easier to swallow than other Thorne omega-3 products, and every batch is tested for more than 250 environmental contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, dioxins, and PCBs.
