More vitamin talk...who takes a DHA supplement?

war_eagle · March 2009

I've given up on those. ?The fish oil wants were disgusting, and even the ones I got that were from a plant source give me nasty burps. ?I'm back to my Target Prenatal.

Will my kid not be as smart as yours b/c of this??

Jason'swife · March 2009

Well. DH and I are both extremely intelligent, so out child will more than likely be a genius. Hahahahaha. Right.

I couldn't handle the fist oil ones either. Gross. Did you try expecta? They're not bad.

*blondie* · March 2009

it's only 5iq points, no worries. But yes I take one. I take the One-A-Day pnv's that come with a dha vit. as well, they aren't so bad.

My prenatals (duetdha) have them and I can't taste them at all.

**Gretchen** · March 2009

I take the ones made from plant extract. I still get the odd burp every once in awhile, but not often. I find the more I eat when taking it, the better it is.

This is the kind I have. ?Ok going down, disgusting burping up. EDIT--this is the kind I first tried and could not stand. ?I have CitraNatal now and they aren't as bad, but still not good.?

I am not technically supposed to be on here til tomorrow but...

I take a DHA supplement called Expecta Lipil- or the other way around (too lazy to get up and check, lol).

My prenatals are gross but I take them anyway with this pill. The DHA supplement is like a gel cap and has a hint of lemon so it doesn't gross me out at all.

I don't know it you have tried it but I like them. You can get them at Target or any other store... it's about 10 bucks for a box of 35.

I take an Expecta before bed with a PNV. Middle of the night burps are gross.

I noticed this weekend they sell Silk soy milk with DHA - maybe that would work for you?

Mama Angelina · March 2009

I do most days.

somethingchangd · March 2009

I couldn't take fish oil ones (bought an entire prescription box and only took 1) but I do take a plant derived one. CitraNatal - I haven't had any problems with it.

ksayles · March 2009

I take CitraNatal Assure...or something like that, that has a DHA pill w/it. My dad has made me take fish oil since I was little.

My lil SIL has severe ADHD and MIL wants her to feel like she doesn't have to be dependant on meds so she takes Fish oil pills, which stimulate the same part of the brain. It helps her out, not as much as her meds, but its a natural alternative.

These are what I take.

Kature · March 2009

I take Expecta and I do not notice any kind of bad aftertaste or burps. Viactiv, now that's a different story; they leave behind a nasty and lingering taste.

MattysGirl81 · March 2009

I take Expecta. ?My doctor highly recommended it. ?I don't have any gross burps with it, but I didn't experience those with other fish oil supplements I took before getting pregnant either.

MumtoB · March 2009

I take Expecta... is there any actual research to suggest that DHA enhances one's IQ? I'll have to do some research of my own.

Jenny Knotek · March 2009

I am taking Fish Oil, and I don't know if it's the brand or what, but I haven't had ANY of the side effects (burping, taste) that other women have posted. I will have to check the brand... also, the RDA is three pills, but I am only taking one, they are so big I figure even one can help.

kcampy31 · March 2009

My prenatal vitamins (Prenexa) are prescription and have DHA in them...I don't taste any aftertaste or anything.

Chrysallys · March 2009

I take Expecta because my MW wanted me to take a DHA supp. Have you tried that brand? It hasn't made me burp like the fishy omegas did.

kchoi · March 2009

i take the expecta ones. ?i took them when i was pregnant with my son and all through breastfeeding him (17 months). ?i now give him whole milk that contains dha.
