How to Get the DHA You and Your Baby Need

Making sure you have enough DHA in your body to nourish your baby can be as easy as taking a daily supplement or eating foods fortified with life'sDHA. Derived from algae, life'sDHA from Martek is the only vegetarian source that provides a meaningful amount of DHA. Because it's made from algae instead of fish or fish oil, it doesn't contain oceanic pollutants or toxins that could be detrimental to the health of you or your baby.
