“Increased intake of the omega-3 DHA during pregnancy could produce improved motor function in the offspring in later life, suggests a new study from the Netherlands.”
This is the opening statement in a recent article which reports on a study in which 300 children were studied over 7 years.
Of course Omega-3 DHA does much more than just helping the child. It also greatly benefits the Mother as well, particularly with regard to post natal depression. The baby draws off the ‘inventory’ of the Mother’s DHA which is an essential fatty acid in the brain and necessary to maintain a sense of wellbeing. As we humans cannot make our own DHA it has to be replaced from either our diet or supplementation.
So, all prospective Mother’s should supplement with an Omega 3 rich in DHA. Ordinary Omega 3 such as flax oil will not suffice as it does not contain DHA and it is hard to convert the form of Omega 3 present (ALA) to DHA.
Therefore a supplement such as our Omega 3 DHA Fish Oil should be taken as it is not only pure but also high in DHA.
What is interesting about this study is the benefit that Omega 3 DHA has on the nervous system. That benefit I believe applies to everyone at all ages who take it. To read the article, please click here http://www.nutraing...38;c=cujjvkirggyostq .
