Today it is well known that DHA contributes to the normal functioning of the brain and vision.

Scientific evidence shows that there is an intense accumulation of DHA in the brain and eyes of a child, especially in the last trimester of pregnancy and the first 6 months after birth. During this period, the supply of nutrients to the baby’s body depends entirely on the mother’s diet.

Therefore, there are now recommendations for pregnant and breastfeeding women to take at least 200 mcg of DHA daily, which will contribute to the normal development of the child’s brain and eyes.

As an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, DHA can be found mainly in fatty fish such as salmon, trout, sardines, or mackerel. However, there have been recent discussions about the safety of the fish we consume today, in terms of its origin and possible toxic elements.

Given all of the above, PreMama Duo contains 200 mcg of DHA per capsule, which meets the daily requirements for both the mother and the child.
