Omega 3 Supplements during PregnancyOmega 3 Supplements during Pregnancy
Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid which can only be obtained through the diet, nature's richest source of Omega 3 is oily fish.

Omega 3 is vital to prenatal development and particulary for the development of the nervous system. Omega 3 deficiency during pregancy has also been linked to postnatal depression. Eating 2 portions of oily fish per week is important, however, some fish contain mercury, pcbs and dioxins which, in high doses, can hurt your baby’s growing brain and nervous system. There are some fish you should NOT eat if you are pregnant.

If you don't eat enough oily fish, consider taking a PURE omega 3 fish oil supplement of pharmaceutical grade quality which are monitored to ensure that they contain no heavy metals and are low in PCBs and Dioxins. Importantly, unlike Fish Liver Oils, pharmaceutical grade fish oils contain no vitamin A.


Pregnancy & Food Supplements

Even healthy women who eat a healthy diet can miss out on important nutrients like folic acid and omega 3 during pregnancy which can affect the development of your baby.

Omega 3 deficiency has also been linked to post natal depression. Please check with your GP before taking supplements during this time.
