    • Do I need to take DHA every day?

      Taking DHA daily can be beneficial for maintaining consistent levels of this important omega-3 fatty acid in your body. Regular intake supports ongoing brain health, cognitive function, and other potential benefits associated with DHA. However, the specific need for daily supplementation may vary depending on an individual's diet and overall health status.

    • Are folic acid and DHA the same thing?

      Folic acid and DHA are not the same thing; they are two distinct nutrients with different roles in the body. Folic acid is a B vitamin crucial for cell division and DNA synthesis, while DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid important for brain and eye health. Both nutrients are often recommended during pregnancy, but they serve different purposes in fetal development and overall health.

    • Is 500mg of DHA too much during pregnancy?

      A dose of 500mg of DHA is generally considered safe and potentially beneficial during pregnancy. This amount falls within the range often recommended for pregnant women to support fetal brain and eye development. However, individual needs may vary, and factors such as dietary intake of omega-3s should be considered when determining the appropriate supplementation level.

    • Can you take DHA if not pregnant?

      DHA supplementation is not limited to pregnant women and can be beneficial for individuals of all ages and life stages. It supports brain health, cognitive function, and eye health in adults. DHA may also have potential benefits for heart health and reducing inflammation in the body, making it a valuable supplement for many people, regardless of pregnancy status.
