You think it’s okay if I take 500 mg of DHA in addition to what’s already in my multi vitamin prenatals?

Question

I just heard the amount of DHA in the prenatal vitamins is not enough for a pregnant women.

Answer

If your prenatal already has DHA you don’t need to take more. There is actually no scientific evidence that DHA really does much more for the baby. Studies show that the kids whose mom took DHA during pregnancy on average had like 1 IQ point higher than those whose mothers didn’t take it. The FDA hasn’t even evaluated the claims of its benefits. If your worried about not getting enough I would eat foods that naturally have it

Answer

Ask your doctor. But it sounds like too much. A good prenatal shoukd have everything you need
