New Chapter Wholemega for Mum: Prenatal DHA Fish Oil with Omega-3 & Vitamin D3, 180 Softgels

What Makes This Fish Oil Different?

Not all fish oils are created equal, and finding one that suits the needs of pregnancy can be a challenge. Wholemega for Mum, derived from wild-caught Alaskan salmon, offers a naturally balanced omega-3 profile with added benefits like vitamin D3 and astaxanthin. It stands out for its purity, sustainability, and the fact that it comes in tiny softgels that are easy to swallow—perfect for mum-to-be who may struggle with larger capsules.

• Wild-Caught Alaskan Salmon: The oil is sourced from certified responsible Alaskan fisheries, ensuring a sustainable and nutrient-dense product compared to farmed alternatives.
• Tiny Softgels: Each 500 mg soft gel capsule is smaller than typical fish oil capsules, making them easier to swallow—a particular advantage for those experiencing nausea.
• No Fishy Aftertaste: Many users report that this fish oil does not cause unpleasant burps or aftertaste. The natural freshness of wild salmon, combined with rosemary extract, helps maintain quality.
• NSF Certified and Gluten-Free: The product has been independently tested by NSF International for purity and quality, and it is also gluten-free, catering to those with sensitivities.

The whole-fish approach preserves the natural balance of fatty acids and trace nutrients, setting it apart from many other supplements.

Key Nutrients in This Prenatal Fish Oil

This supplement is designed to complement a healthy pregnancy diet by providing essential nutrients that support both mother and baby.

• DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid): This omega-3 is concentrated in the brain and eyes. According to EFSA, DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes of the foetus and breastfed infants.
• Other Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA): EPA helps maintain cardiovascular health and supports a healthy inflammatory response, which is important during pregnancy.
• Vitamin D3: Naturally present in salmon oil, vitamin D3 contributes to normal immune function and calcium absorption.
• Astaxanthin: A powerful antioxidant that protects the omega-3s from oxidation and helps maintain potency.
• Rosemary Extract: Provides natural antioxidant properties to maintain freshness and support overall health.

How to Take Prenatal Fish Oil for Best Results

The recommended serving is four softgels daily, providing 2000 mg of fish oil. For optimal absorption, take them with a meal containing some fat. If you have difficulty swallowing, you can take one or two at a time throughout the day. Always consult your health care provider before starting any new supplement during pregnancy or nursing. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place and keep the lid tightly closed.
