Natelle® Plus with DHA is a patented prescription prenatal vitamin co-pack that provides essential vitamins and minerals plus Martek’s life’s DHA™. Martek's life'sDHA™ is a vegetarian form of DHA omega-3, a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid that serves as a primary building block for the brain and eyes and supports brain, eye and cardiovascular health throughout life. Studies have shown that increased availability of DHA omega-3 during pregnancy and lactation nourishes the neurological, visual and nervous system development of babies and may play an important role in long-term infant heart health and maternal well-being. Despite its importance, Americans have amongst the lowest dietary intake of DHA omega-3 in the world. Additionally, expert bodies such as the FDA have advised pregnant and nursing women to limit their fish consumption (the main dietary source of DHA omega-3) due to the potentially high levels of contaminants such as mercury found in certain fish. Martek's life'sDHA™ is unique in the market because it is derived from a sustainable and vegetarian source. Made from microalgae under tightly controlled manufacturing conditions, life'sDHA™ is free of oceanic contaminants that may be present in certain fish or fish oils. Microalgae are the only vegetarian source of DHA omega-3, the key omega-3 for brain development and function.
