Mood

Making up half of the fat in the brain and eyes, DHA is connected not only to healthy energy levels (which impact mood), but a healthy functioning brain.* While vitamin D3 is called the sunshine vitamin, you could almost call DHA the internal light that keeps darker moods at bay.

Immunity

DHA supports the reduction of cortisol levels (stress) in your body’s system, and helps support a healthy immune system too (these two might be related).* 

Replenishment

Since mom is giving so much of her vital nutrition to her developing baby each and every day, it’s critically important that she replenish her stores of vital nutrition by getting a bioactive supply of DHA each and every day.

Pre & Post Natal

Critical for baby health. Sufficient DHA intake during pregnancy (at least 300 mg/day) can support a fuller term and increase weight at birth.* The polar lipid form ensures better omega absorption, no burp back, and no upset stomach whether taken with or without food.

Baby's brain and eye development continue while nursing and throughout early childhood. Getting enough DHA through breast milk, or through supplementation, is therefore critical. An active DHA, with higher absorption, will replenish Mom’s stores faster and may even make Postpartum depression (PPD) or Paternal Perinatal Affective Disorder or Postpartum Anxiety and Depression PPAD less likely.* This means that Prenatal DHA is not just for baby, it’s for mom too! It even includes Active EPA, which further supports cardiovascular health, and mom’s natural ability to tackle inflammation.*

Brain & Eye Development

DHA makes up half of the fat in the brain & eyes and over 25% of the brain by weight. If we don’t get enough from our diets each day, we substitute the omega-6 arachidonic acid (AA) and other available fats. This means our cells won’t be as good at trafficking nutrients, eliminating toxins, and the electrical impulses required for cell-to-cell communication will also be weaker. In short, we need to ensure we get enough bioactive DHA each day to supply our baby with everything they need to develop healthy organs, including the brain and eyes.* 

Without sufficient DHA in pregnancy and early development, babies will not have the building blocks needed for optimal health. They may have trouble seeing clearly, or could even suffer from neurological disorders as a result.*.

Fuller Pregnancy Term & Healthier Birth Weight

Getting enough bioactive DHA throughout pregnancy is positively associated with fuller term pregnancies and a healthier birth weight.*

Baby Health

Baby's brain and eye development continue into the 4th trimester and beyond. It’s imperative that you continue supplementation of your Active DHA while nursing. You may even consider supplementing your young one when you’re ready to stop nursing.  

Mom’s Health

ÖRLÖ’s Active DHA is better absorbed, which means mom’s stores will improve faster and she'll also be less likely to experience Postpartum depression (PPD) or Paternal Perinatal Affective Disorder or Postpartum Anxiety and Depression (PPAD).*
