Eating fish, taking an omega-3 supplement, or a little bit of both can get you to 5%. You can eat two servings of low-mercury, high-DHA fish per week, like salmon, anchovies, herring and mackerel. If you can’t stomach those kinds of fish, an omega-3 or DHA prenatal supplement or a general fish oil supplement can raise your blood level. Make sure the supplement has at least 200 mg of DHA per serving, but it’s good to aim for getting both EPA and DHA if possible. Many people end up taking a supplement and adding a little fish to their diet as tolerated.

Optimize Your Prenatal DHA Level in 3 Easy Steps




Calculate Your Prenatal DHA Requirements
This recommendation is meant to be a guide for how much DHA you may need in your diet to reach your Prenatal DHA target, based on unpublished research. Up to 3,000 mg per day of EPA and DHA is considered safe and is set as the upper limit in the calculator. We recommend you test at the end of your first trimester and beginning of your third trimester of pregnancy to see if your diet changes are working for you. Please consult your healthcare provider before making any major changes to your diet. Learn more...

Only enter the DHA you are getting through supplements, which you can find on the Nutrient Facts Panel on the back of your supplement. Don't try to guess how much you are getting through food and sunlight.

The Prenatal DHA Test measures the amount of this important nutrient in your blood using a simple finger prick collection method that you can do at home.
