Description
- Thorne Research Prenatal DHA support mom and baby during pregnancy and through nursing with omega-3's. Two essential omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA, to support a healthy pregnancy and development of baby’s brain and nervous system.
- DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is essential for the development of a healthy brain, as well as nerves and eyes. Prenatal DHA is especially important for healthy fetal and infant development, accumulating in a baby’s developing brain primarily during the third trimester of pregnancy through the first two years of life. Prenatal DHA supports a healthy pregnancy as well.
- Although the body can make some DHA, its conversion rate is low, so most DHA needs to be consumed in the diet. The primary dietary sources of DHA, fatty, cold-water fish, aren’t heavily consumed in a western diet, so an omega-3 nutritional supplement can help a mother reach an optimal DHA level.
- Provides nutritional support for a healthy pregnancy.
- Supports memory and mood – before, during, and after pregnancy.
- Promotes normal fetal brain and nervous system development.
- Supports metabolism by helping to maintain a healthy insulin response.
- Promotes DHA levels in breast milk to support baby’s growth and development.

- Helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response.
- Promotes healthy heart function.
