When Should I Take Omega-3 in Pregnancy?

It is best to ask your doctor or nutritionist when you should start taking omega-3. Omega-3 is an important nutrient for pregnant women because it helps support the development of a baby's brain, eyes, and nervous system.¹ Generally, pregnant women are recommended to consume at least 650 gms of omega-3 fatty acid each day.² However, if a pregnant woman has lower-than-expected DHA levels, she should talk to her doctor or nutritionist about taking additional supplementation.

If you're pregnant, it's natural to be concerned about your baby's growth and health. From eating nutritious meals to taking necessary screening tests, every little step counts! One such proactive measure is to get to know your body's DHA levels. Since a mother's low body DHA levels can impact the baby's growth and development, it's important to keep track of them. LifeCell's at-home OmegaScore P Test kit can help you do this. It's a simple and non-invasive way to check your body's DHA levels from the comfort of your own home.
