Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA 830mg Omega-3 + 400 IU Vitamin D3

Optimal Fetal Brain & Nervous System Development: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is the most abundant omega-3 fatty acid in the brain and serves as a critical structural component during rapid fetal development. During the third trimester and early infancy, DHA accumulates rapidly in neural tissues, supporting the formation of synaptic connections, myelination of nerve fibres, and overall cognitive architecture. With 480 mg DHA per serving, this formula exceeds international expert recommendations to ensure adequate maternal stores transfer to the developing baby through the placenta and breast milk.

Enhanced Visual Acuity & Eye Development: DHA comprises approximately 60% of the photoreceptor cells in the retina, making it essential for proper visual development from the prenatal period through early childhood. Adequate maternal DHA status correlates with improved infant visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and overall eye health. The concentrated DHA in this formula supports the structural integrity of retinal cell membranes and facilitates optimal light signal transduction, laying the foundation for sharp vision and healthy eye function throughout life.

Maternal Mood & Cognitive Support: Pregnancy and postpartum periods involve significant depletion of maternal DHA stores as the nutrient preferentially transfers to the developing fetus. Supplementing with omega-3s helps maintain maternal brain health, supporting neurotransmitter function, reducing neuroinflammation, and promoting balanced mood regulation. The EPA content works synergistically with DHA to modulate inflammatory pathways, while the bioavailable triglyceride form ensures efficient absorption and incorporation into brain phospholipids for sustained cognitive performance and emotional wellbeing.

Bone & Immune System Foundation with Vitamin D3: Each serving provides 400 IU of natural vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), the same form produced by the body in response to sunlight. Vitamin D3 enhances calcium and phosphorus absorption in the intestines, supporting the development of strong fetal bones and teeth while maintaining maternal bone density. Additionally, vitamin D3 modulates immune cell function, supporting both innate and adaptive immunity for mother and baby. The inclusion of vitamin D3 in olive oil optimizes fat-soluble vitamin absorption alongside the omega-3 fatty acids.
