Formula re: Contains

Research shows DHA is an important nutrient during pregnancy and breastfeeding. During pregnancy, DHA supports healthy brain function and mood in moms and promotes healthy brain and vision development in growing children. When taken after pregnancy, DHA can enhance the quality of breast milk. Vegetarian Prenatal DHA, sustainably sourced from algae, provides 570 mg of DHA in a single serving.

Formulation re: Other

A vegetarian diet may not provide an adequate amount of DHA, so a plant-based supplement can be a great option.
