Omega 3

Schell2013 · March 2013

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the omega 3 vitamins they are taking. My prenatal doesn't have enough in it. I am currently taking some that my aunt gave me, she sells usana vitamins but they are super expensive. I am looking for another one that is safe no mercury obviously. Could you please tell me your brands your using?

I take Expecta. Target also sells a generic version of this supplement for a few dollars cheaper.

I take the One a Day Women's prenatal vitamins and it comes with mercury free DHA supplement. I used the same ones with my DD and it was a lot more cost efficient and easier to take than what I started out with at Vitamin World. I was having to take five pills a day with those and they made me nauseated.

Nordic naturals prenatal dha. I think it's one place where you really do not want to cheap out... Whatever u get make sure they are quality controlled to be free of heavy metals.

I take vitabiotics Pregnacare plus. It's the normal prenatal with an additional omega 3 tablet. I should add that I took the plain pregnacare in the first trimester.

Thumbs up to the bold. Those are the highest grade, most pure pharmaceutical grade vitamins out there. They are super expensive but the finest money can buy-if they weren't so, that's what I would be on. Our friend is a distributor too. I love that the company makes individual baggies(with your name on it!?) for all your daily vitamins. Grab a pouch and go!

I was taking Spectrum omega-3 fish oil that had EPA and DHA but then switched to Spectrum Prenatal DHA (for preg and nursing moms). It doesn't have fish oil in it. I just got it at amazon and didn't think it was too much-between 16 & 20. They also have a vegetarian version.
