Good nutrition & a healthy diet is crucial when you’re planning to conceive, expecting a baby or breastfeeding, as the nutritional balance of a woman has major implications for the development & future wellbeing of her child. Why are Omega-3 fatty acids so important? We all need long-chain essential fatty acids as they play an important role in supporting the function of every cell in our body. However Omega-3 DHA is particularly important all through the birth cycle. It is a key nutrient which helps form the building blocks for the cells that make up the eye, brain & nervous system. This structural essential fatty acid is also particularly important during the final trimester when the baby’s brain undergoes a tremendous growth spurt. How much Omega-3 do I need? Pregnant & breastfeeding women should aim to eat a balanced diet, which

Includes:: the essential fatty acid Omega-3. A great source of Omega-3 is oily fish such as mackerel & sardines. So when trying for a baby, pregnant or breastfeeding, eating fish is good for both your health & the development of your baby. If you find it a struggle to get an adequate intake of Omega-3 through your diet, mumomega provides a reliable alternative. The International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids & Lipids (ISSFFAL) advises that pregnant & lactating women obtain at least 200mg of Omega-3 DHA per day. One daily capsule of mumomega helps ensure that both you & your baby receive pharmaceutical grade essential fatty acids throughout the birth cycle. Eating oily fish is good for you & your baby: The Food Standards Agency (FSA) recommends that most people should be eating more oily fish. Fish & shellfish are rich in protein & minerals, & oily fish is rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acids. However, oily fish can contain low levels of pollutants that can build up in the body.

When you're trying for a baby, pregnant or breastfeeding eating fish is good for your health & the development of your baby, but you need to avoid some types of fish & limit the amount you eat of some others. The FSA guidelines suggest a maximum of two portions a week of oily fish including tuna, but not to eat shark, swordfish or marlin
- because these fish contain more mercury than other types. Directions for use: Take one capsule per day with food. Ingredients: Fish Oil, Capsule sheel (gelatin, glycerol, purified water), Virgin Evening Primrose Oil, Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopherol, derived from IP-soya).
