Re: any one take DHA?

  • I take it my prescription has the multi vitamin and a pill for the dha. The doctor told me it helps later with developing something but I forget lol!

  • what do you mean?  i take it now and took it w/ DD.  it supposedly does wonders for eye and brain development.  it's too early to tell, but i think DD is a genius Big Smile - ha! 

  • I did with my daughter and with this pregnancy as well.  I'm not sure what helped make my dd so smart, the dha or nursing her ;)
  • My first prescription had the vitamin and the dha seperate. The dha had a HORRIBLE aftertaste that made me sick so I got the otc Expecta and it's fine. But when I ran out of vitamins I asked for a different brand it is has the dha in it so I only have to take one pill/vitamin instead of two. Do you not like what you are taking?
  • It is a part of my Rx for my prenatals.  My Dr. has all of her patients take it.

  • i take the expecta dha, omega3 supplement with my pnv.  i took it with dd too.  it's supposed to boost their eye and brain development as well as boost your cardiac function. 
  • I take it separate from the PNV and it's in a gel cap so there's no after taste and it's smaller than the PNV.  I got it at Costco.

  • I take Expecta DHA supplements.  My doctor recommended it, and I figure it can't hurt.

  • I'm not taking it yet, it's supposed to help with brain development. My doctor told me I don't have to take it until the 3rd tri, I'm assuming everyone's doc could tell them something different though

  • I like it.. It has no effect on me...I take DHA duet.. so its my dha gel cap and my prenatal.. I know some of my friends didnt take it so I was just wondering..

  • My PNV has it included.  I think it's good.  :)

  • I'm taking it daily along with my prenatal vitamin.  My doctor says that if you take any kind of antacid medication like Prilosec or Zantac (which I HAVE to) that those medications can sometimes block the full absorption of Folic acid and vitamin B so to take an extra supplement to make sure I'm getting all of it.  I also take the Omega 3's.
