DHA & fetal development

PreferaOB ONE® contains plant-based life'sDHA™

DHA supplementation during pregnancy has been shown to significantly increase length of gestation, helping mothers carry to a healthy or full term.1,2

DHA is also essential for1:

  • Normal fetal growth
  • Neurologic development and function
  • Learning and behavioral development

During pregnancy, DHA is naturally transferred from maternal stores to the growing fetus to support optimal development.1,3 Without sufficient dietary intake, pregnant women can become depleted of DHA.1

The March of Dimes®* recommends that pregnant women get 200 mg of DHA daily to support fetal brain development.4 PreferaOB ONE® meets this recommendation.5

PreferaOB ONE®†
contains plant-based life'sDHA™

The DHA found in PreferaOB ONE® comes from a sustainable plant-based source called life'sDHA, produced in an FDA-inspected facility.6

  • DHA is important for optimal infant brain, eye, and nervous system development1,3
  • life'sDHA™ is found in most baby formulas7
  • life'sDHA™ is plant-based, with no ocean-borne contaminants or fish allergens6

CONTRAINDICATIONS: This product is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.

WARNING: Ingestion of more than 3 grams of Omega-3 fatty acids per day has been shown to have potential antithrombotic effects, including an increased bleeding time and International Normalized Ratio (INR). Administration of Omega-3 fatty acids should be avoided in patients taking anticoagulants and in those known to have an inherited or acquired predisposition to bleeding diathesis.

PRECAUTIONS: Folic acid when administered as a single agent in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematological remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid supplemental doses of vitamin E higher than RDA amounts. While prescribing this nutritional supplement for pregnant women, nursing mothers, or for women prior to conception, their medical condition and other drugs, herbs, and/or supplements consumption should be considered.
