Having a baby? Sweet!
Everybody needs omega-3, so do mothers and mothers-to-be. But did you know that you need extra omega-3 DHA during pregnancy and when breastfeeding? Simris® Algae Omega-3 for Mothers was designed especially for this exciting time of your life.
What is DHA?
DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid mainly found in marine organisms. It is produced by algae, and ends up in fish and seafood through their food. DHA is an important building block in our eyes and our brain, and belongs to the nutrients we must obtain with our diet, either by the food we eat or by supplements. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised to increase their intake of omega-3 DHA, since DHA contributes to the normal development of the eyes and the brain of the foetus and breastfed infants.
Simris® Algae Omega-3 for Mothers is developed for pregnant and breastfeeding women and supplies the extra amount of DHA that is recommended during this period. However, DHA is just as important for non-pregnant persons as well. DHA contributes to normal brain function and vision in all of us, both children and adults.
Completely plant-based and free from toxins
Simris® Algae Omega-3 for Mothers is completely plant-based and contains omega-3 DHA from farmed algae. This is the same precious omega-3 DHA that is found in fish oil and krill, coming straight from its natural source. The algae are grown in closed systems to ensure a safe and pure omega-3 oil of the highest quality, without the environmental toxins and pollutants that can be found in fatty fish and fish oil. Simris® Algae Omega-3 for Mothers is an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans, but also for everyone worrying about heavy metals and toxins in fatty fish.
How about algae and iodine?
You may have heard that algae such as seaweed and kelp can contain a lot of iodine. Too much iodine can affect the thyroid function, and an iodine surplus in the mother can adversely affect the foetus. However, the type of microalgae grown to make omega-3 contain no iodine. Simris® Omega-3 for Mothers is simply totally free from iodine.
