Why DHA? When you’re pregnant or trying to get pregnant, your body needs certain nutrients to support your health and that of your developing baby. DHA is one of the nutrients that your body cannot manufacture itself and is often recommended to be supplemented before and during pregnancy. It’s commonly known as fish oil – did you know that there are vegan options on the market that eliminate the risks associated with certain environmental contaminants present in fish, such as mercury, dioxins and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls)? We’ll explain what DHA is, why it’s important and how to use it as effectively as possible.
Nutrition and pregnancy are difficult enough to manage, but dietary restrictions can put even more pressure on mums-to-be (or those trying to). A good prenatal vitamin needs to contain certain essential nutrients, but plant-based options aren’t always available. We’re here to explain what DHA is and how you can consume appropriate levels of DHA while avoiding fish oil supplements.
It is an essential omega-3 fatty acid, essential for the growth and development of the infant brain and for the day-to-day functioning of the adult brain. It is also a key component of the eyes and heart. Gynaecologists generally recommend that pregnant women take around 200 to 300 mg of DHA a day to improve pregnancy outcomes. Our Omega-3 DHA Plusbaby contains 200 mg of DHA, which promotes a healthy pregnancy and encourages the early stages of life.
It is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that may be beneficial for your baby’s development. These omega-3 fatty acids are thought to have an impact on characteristics such as emotional intelligence, problem-solving ability and motor development.
In general, it is found in food sources such as cold-water fish and seafood, as well as in other animal products such as eggs, chicken and cattle fed high sources of DHA.

Research results are still contradictory, but there is evidence that it plays a role in brain development and general health. One study showed that babies fell ill less often in the first six months of life when it was taken during pregnancy. Other studies look at cognitive development in the first two years of your baby’s life. The results suggest that taking a prenatal vitamin containing DHA may be beneficial. Don’t forget that certain factors in your life can have a negative impact on your baby’s healthy development. These include
If you’re following a vegan diet, it can be more difficult to make sure you’re getting an adequate amount of nutrients, especially if you’re preparing to get pregnant or are expecting. Fortunately, there are some options to ensure healthy development for you and your baby.
For the body to obtain and use DHA or EPA as part of a vegetarian or vegan diet, it needs to eat foods containing ALA, or alpha-linolenic acid. ALA is found in seeds and nuts such as linseed, walnuts, echinacea, chia seeds, etc. Unfortunately, numerous studies have shown that the conversion of seeds and nuts into DHA is minimal, or even non-existent.
Fortunately, there are food supplements on the market, such as oil made from micro-algae, which can increase DHA levels in blood plasma. Our Plusbaby DHA capsules are made from micro-algae.
Research shows that vegan DHA supplements and animal DHA supplements have similar effects on the body. Fish consume their DHA from algae, so vegan supplements using algae and algae oil obtain DHA directly from the source. More research needs to be done on the long-term effects of vegan DHA supplements, but studies have suggested health benefits comparable to those of DHA fish oil.
Vegan DHA is a way to get the nutrients you need without eating seafood or fish oil. The health benefits of vegan and animal-source DHA are comparable, and there are environmental benefits to adopting a vegan diet.
Overfishing (catching fish at a rate greater than their reproductive capacity) is a serious problem that impacts food insecurity, damages the ocean food chain and contributes to coral reef degradation and climate change. By choosing vegan DHA tablets, you are also supporting food supplements from more sustainable sources.
Vegan DHA is also free from the risk of certain environmental contaminants found in fish, such as mercury, dioxins, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) etc.
Further research is needed to accurately demonstrate the health benefits of vegan docosahexaenoic acid during pregnancy, but studies show that DHA derived from algae is an excellent source of omega-3 and may be a good option for women who are pregnant or who wish to become pregnant and who are concerned about the environmental toxins present in fish.
Studies suggest that it plays an essential role in foetal brain development. As your body does not manufacture DHA, you have to obtain it from your diet or from a vitamin. It seems that a large percentage of the population doesn’t get the right balance of DHA through diet alone.
Everyone has unique needs, so we suggest you talk to your obstetrician or primary care provider about whether a prenatal vitamin with DHA is right for you.
It represents >90% of the omega-3 acids essential for brain and eye development and is necessary for a healthy pregnancy. While it is generally found in a diet consisting of seafood or in fish oil supplements, there are other vegan alternatives. Seaweed oil is a plant-based option that eliminates the risk of environmental toxins and does not support over-fishing, which can be harmful to the planet.
