Benefits of DHA: Proper intake of DHA during pregnancy helps to maintain the integrity of fetal brain cell membrane, promote fetal brain development and improve memory.

The DHA content in the fat of marine fish and shellfish is 2.5- 100 times that of terrestrial plants. In addition, the fetus is prone to lack of vitamins, so expectant mothers need to eat more vegetables and fruits while supplementing DHA.
