As seen in
Even with a thoughtfully planned diet, omega-3s are hard to get through diet alone. Women need omega-3s to help support hormone production and reduce inflammation along with supporting brain health and mood. I find most women can benefit from supplementing with omega-3 to help ensure they’re optimizing their health and balancing their omega-3 to omega-6 ratio." - Jessica Bippen, MS, RD
What is Omega-3?
Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid for before, during, and after pregnancy. It supports egg quality, maternal mood, and baby's optimal brain, nerve, and eye development. Your body cannot make Omega-3, and must obtain it from diet or supplementation. There are three main types of Omega-3, which are ALA, DHA, and EPA. ALA is found in plants like chia seeds, flax seeds, and walnuts. ALA needs to be converted into the DHA and EPA forms of Omega-3 in order to be used by the body. This conversion process is highly inefficient (often less than 1%), so it is important for mom and baby to consume DHA and EPA directly. Fatty fish (like salmon & sardines) and supplements are the two main ways to increase intake of Omega-3.
How do I know if I need Omega-3?
Our testing kit can help. Many are surprised to find that even if they eat a lot of salmon and sardines, their Omega-3 levels are lower than optimal. Our’s were! And, research shows that up to 95% of women are deficient. Even if you are not deficient, the more Omega-3 in your diet the better you will feel, especially when you are pregnant as ⅓ of his or her brain is made of Omega-3. Pregnancy and breastfeeding take a toll on women, as the body gives up nutrient reserves to build baby. Baby's optimal brain, nerve, and eye development is supported by ample intake of Omega-3 from the start. Depending on someone's individual needs, two (2) to four (4) softgels of Omega-3 or capsules of Omega-3+ Vegan can be taken daily with a meal.
What is the difference between the Omega-3 and the Omega-3+ Vegan?
We offer 2 options for our customers looking for an Omega-3 supplement. Our Omega-3 goes beyond bare minimum dosages and delivers a high potency dose of 1000mg DHA and 1000mg EPA (per 4 gel caps) for optimal support. Our sustainably-sourced fish oil is encased in a gelatin-free, plant-based shell designed specifically to avoid unpleasant taste, smell, and fish burps. Our Omega-3 is shelf stable and does not require refrigeration. Our Omega-3 is Friend of the Sea Certified, and has been certified a Clean Label Project Purity and Pesticide Free Award. Our Omega-3+ Vegan delivers 550mg of Omega-3 (DHA+EPA), 100mg of Choline, 10mg of Lutein, and 2mg of Zeaxanthin per 2 capsule serving. Our Omega-3+ Vegan is sustainably and cleanly-sourced from microalgae and does not require refrigeration. Clean Label Project Purity and Pesticide Free Awards are pending.
To summarize, the main difference between the two products is the sourcing of the Omega 3's (fish versus microalgae) & the Omega-3+ Vegan contains additional antioxidant support and a Choline boost!
How were the dosages determined?
We set our dosages in partnership with leading scientists and health practitioners across modalities (including MDs, NDs, nutritionists, Chinese medicine doctors, midwives, and other birth work professionals) based on research and in-practice experience. Both the Omega-3 and Omega-3+ Vegan meet the 400mg of DHA daily dosing recommendation by the American Pregnancy Association. A combination of DHA to EPA allows us to provide multiple benefits for mom and baby, as DHA and EPA have different and often complementary physiological effects. And, as an added benefit to our Omega-3+ Vegan, the capsules provide a good source of Choline at 100mg plus Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which all work synergistically to support mama and baby.
We recognize that some practitioners recommend higher dosages of Omega-3 for before, during and after pregnancy which is why we suggest doubling the dose for a period of time if your levels are low.
Why are there different DHA/EPA ratios between the Omega-3 and Omega-3+ Vegan?
The reason our Omega-3+ Vegan product is much lower in EPA is due to the fact that it is very difficult to source EPA from algae and so most algae products will be concentrated and standardized to DHA primarily, with little EPA (though ours actually contains more than most).
What kind of testing do you do?
Our Omega-3 and Omega-3+ Vegan are expertly formulated and clinically validated by 10+ years of research and development, including thorough third-party clinical studies. We test all products for quality and safety at third-party laboratories including tests for nutritional content, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, microbes, and other contaminants.
Are your Omega-3 products vegan, allergen free, and Non-GMO?
Our Omega-3 fish oil is non-GMO. Free of eggs, fish allergens, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, wheat, gluten and unwanted fillers. Our Omega-3+ Vegan is vegan and non-GMO. Free of 9 major allergens, gluten, and unwanted fillers.
Everything makes me nauseous while I am pregnant, will your product work for me?
Many pregnant mamas find our capsules pleasant to take as they are smaller than standard fish oil pills and do not have a fishy aftertaste. However, do not stress if nothing is working for you in your early pregnancy, as baby draws most of the Omega-3 it needs in the third trimester, so you can pause your subscription and restart once your nausea has passed (soon, we hope!)
Why should I start a subscription? How does a subscription work?
Daily, continuous supplementation is needed to maintain optimal Omega-3 levels for you and your baby before, during, and after pregnancy. Our subscription ensures you never miss a day of optimal nourishment. We’ll send you an email each month, a few days before we charge you and ship your next box. You can delay an order, or cancel your subscription at any time, right from your account page.
What products work best with the Omega-3 and Omega-3+ Vegan?
Our products are designed to be taken together for optimal nutrition. We recommend pairing our Omega-3 or Omega-3+ Vegan with our Prenatal Multi, Pre/Probiotic, and Collagen Protein to fully support you and baby throughout pregnancy.
I’m not yet pregnant or a mom, is your product still for me?
Yes, our product is tailored for before, during, and after pregnancy, but it is beneficial at all stages of life. Research suggests that a mom’s habits prior to conception influence her baby’s well-being not just at birth, but also for its entire lifetime. At every stage of life, the more Omega-3 in your diet, the better you will feel. So, it’s never too early to start a subscription.
What happens if I miss a day? Or a few days?
Don't sweat it. We know how busy life can get. You can go ahead and double-up the dose for any days missed. Going forward, we recommend that you try to take your Omega-3 everyday to see positive, long-lasting results.
Where are your Omega-3 products manufactured?
Both of our Omega-3 products are manufactured in the United States at FDA registered facilities that have third party GMP certification.
