Mom’s Smarter Choice

From preconception to pregnancy, breastfeeding and beyond, it’s a great opportunity for you to develop your child’s health. Take the only healthy fats – omega-3 fatty acids – to build a stronger you and smarter baby.

THROUGHOUT PREGNANCY

Omega-3 plays a major role in ensuring pregnant moms to have healthier and smoother pregnancies. Furthermore, your baby’s brain consists of 70% DHA and EPA. Incorporate omega-3 in your daily diet as it:

  • Studies shown that it may reduce the risk of preterm birth.1,4
  • Promotes healthy fetal growth.1
  • Facilitates proper development of eyes, brain structure, immune system and nervous system in baby.1, 5

Did You Know? Research has shown that mothers who took DHA supplementation during pregnancy had babies with better problem-solving skills at 9 months compared to mothers who did not.4

POSTPARTUM RECOVERY & BREASTFEEDING

For a speedy recovery and preparation to breastfeed your baby, omega-3:

  • Reduces risk of post-partum depression.
  • Promotes optimal brain development for a smarter baby.5
  • Improves skin health and reduces skin sensitivity.5
  • Improves vision development.6,7
  • Promotes better sleeping patterns.6,7

Stats Alert!

92% pregnant and breastfeeding mothers did not take enough omega-3 fatty acids.

Tip: Start by taking 1,000mg of omega-3 fatty acids daily.
