Why do women need EPA in addition to DHA during pregnancy?Updated 10 months ago

While DHA has been extensively studied for its role in supporting brain and visual development during pregnancy and lactation, recent research indicates that EPA is crucial for facilitating DHA's transfer across the placenta, allowing the baby to effectively utilize it. Our women’s fish oil provides the optimal balance of EPA and DHA in just two, small gelcaps per day. Additionally, scientific evidence highlights the significance of a combination of both EPA and DHA, as they naturally coexist in nature, rather than isolating DHA alone.
