DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, and it’s especially critical for fertility, healthy pregnancy, and fetal development. Adequate DHA intake during pregnancy
• helps prevent preterm birth & low birth weight
• helps prevent postpartum depression and other mood disorders
• is a building block for your baby’s entire nervous system (including their brain)
• provides critical support for baby’s brain, eyes, liver, immune system, heart, and more after birth
• reduces your child’s risk of future metabolic disorders and allergies
• supports cognitive development (including visual acuity and language skills) in babies
You can get more DHA by changing your diet, but it's also a great idea to supplement when you're pregnant or breastfeeding. You can find some great options on Fullscript: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/stateofspine
