DHA is an essential Omega-3 fatty acid and must be obtained from dietary sources or a high-quality supplement. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can place high demands on your body and deplete your DHA reserves. DHA is especially important in the last trimester of pregnancy and the first few months of an infant’s life. Oceans MOM® Prenatal DHA supplies 350mg of DHA―the optimum level for pregnant and lactating women―plus 15mg of EPA, in one small softgel a day.† It helps support brain, eyes and nervous system in developing babies, and enhances the quality of breast milk, providing a broad range of benefits for both you and your baby.† The natural Strawberry flavor and small size make this fish oil softgel easy to take (no fishy taste or aftertaste). Not only is Oceans MOM certified sustainably harvested by the International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS™) Program, we utilize a multiple-stage molecular distillation process to produce ultra pure, DHA rich fish oil―verified through independent, third-party testing that exceeds strict international standards for things like mercury. Garden of Life offers fish oil and other dietary supplements that contain omega fatty acids. Omega fatty acids support the structure and function of the brain and other cells in the body. These sustainably sourced supplements deliver various combinations of omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and DPA (docosapentaenoic acid). As essential building blocks of cellular membranes, EPA and DHA play critical roles in maintaining brain and body health. EPA plays a role in supporting a healthy inflammatory response at the cellular level, while DHA is the most abundant omega-3 found in the brain and is important for maintaining brain and nerve cell structure and function. Additionally, DHA and EPA promote healthy blood flow, which is essential to optimal brain function, memory retention and overall health. †These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

No fishy aftertaste!
I have taken many different fish oil supplements and this is by far the best. Usually when you open up the bottles, you get that over-powering fish smell. I personally cannot stand the smell of fish and I don’t eat any seafood. I am not pregnant, but I am trying to conceive, so I wanted to add this into my routine in preparation. I noticed that it’s a smaller dose than other omega3/DHA supplements out there, but this bottle says you can take two caplets if you wish to increase the dosage. Right when you open the bottle it has a very mild sweet scent and the pills themselves are quite small, have a lightly sweet taste and go down very well. If taken with a meal, I don’t experience any fishy burps or aftertaste. Twice I took it about an hour after lunch and had a little indigestion and those fishy burps were bad, but not terrible. A positive outcome that I didn’t expect was that it’s helped my heart-rate. Before taking it, my resting HR was around 88bpm and my doctor was wanting to watch it a little closer. I am now halfway into my second bottle and ever since the day after I began taking it, I’ve been right around 74bpm on average. I have read that this is quite common as omega-3 fatty acids help lower blood pressure, resting heart rate, the risk of arrhythmia, sudden death and triglycerides. I have since purchased a few more bottles and will continue to take this brand as it really doesn’t have a bad smell or taste at all. I also love that it comes in a glass bottle. It was packed very well and of the three bottles I have ordered to date, I have not had any shipping issues or breakage.

Garden of Life prenatal Omega 3 lemon/ Oceans Mom
Review for 2 different DHA/omega 3.I’ve been taking Ocean Mom for a while. I was happy to see the pills were still small and they had the strawberry flavor. Only downside is these caps seem very sticky even at room temperature and on occasion you get the fishy burp taste. All in all I do like these.The new omega 3 prenatal I just purchased and started taking. The pills are larger about the same size as a regular prenatal multivitamin. You do get more with these than with oceans mom percentage wise. I really wanted to try the algae omega 3 version however due to my allergy to oranges I cannot risk them. These however seem to be going good and I will continue to use and will provide an update when I’ve finished off the bottle.So far the caps do not stick and I have not had any fishy aftertaste nor burping. I have not had any nausea from either type.

Didn’t make me sick
I had a hard time taking vitamins during pregnancy but not these. I didn’t burp them up and was able to keep them down. No weird after taste.

Best dha for pregnancy and breastfeeding
I have been on the hunt for a high-quality DHA that has more than 250 mg dha per serving without having a crazy-high dosage of EPA since the American Pregnancy Assosication recommends that pregnant and breastfeeding women get 300 mg dha per day. I’ve been taking this for a few weeks now and I haven’t experienced any “fishy” burps. They smell and taste faintly of strawberry and are definitely more pleasant to take than my regular fish oils. The only downside is that they are more pricey than my regular fish oils but so far, Amazon has had the best prices I have found.

Recommended DHA Supplement
These are a great value by a brand I trust.I personally do not like the artificial strawberry flavor, but it’s not overwhelming and I just put some water in my mouth first so I don’t really taste it.I’ve noticed that if I take these with a meal, I’m fine.. but if I forget and take them after I eat, I get gross fish burps.They’re tiny gel caps and I have no difficulty swallowing them, though I can take 3-4 vitamins at a time (even while preggo) without issue.I do feel like my skin looks a little brighter when I take these, so I think they’re good quality and I do recommend them.

These fixed my pregnancy brain!
When I first got pregnant I tried a bunch of different prenatal vitamins until I found my favorite one (pink stork) some had dha in the prenatal vitamin and some didn’t so I bought these to supplement if I found one I loved that didn’t have dha in it. The pink stork ones that I ended up sticking with have dha in them so I stopped taking these for most of my pregnancy. Until I got well in to my third trimester and was having serious pregnancy brain. I was curious if taking these on top on my normal prenatal would help and they totally did! I noticed the pregnancy brain was pretty much gone the day after I started taking them.They are super easy to swallow, and I typically have a really hard time swallowing pills (that’s part of the reason I tried so many different prenatals). There was one time I noticed a gross fishy aftertaste but if you read the instructions and keep them in the fridge unlike what I did at first, you should be fine. Haha.
