DHA is an essential nutrient during pregnancy, both for the mother and the fetus, as it is the predominant omega-3 fatty acid in nervous system structures. During the perinatal period, DHA selectively accumulates in the brain, accompanying the growth and expansion of the cerebral cortex, a crucial phase of neurological development.
Maternal intake of 200 mg of DHA per day, in addition to the recommended dose of 250 mg of EPA and DHA, contributes to the normal development of the brain and vision in the fetus and breastfed infants.*
L-methylfolate (present as glucosamine 5MTHF Quatrefolic®) is the active form of folic acid, already ready to be used by the body without the need for enzymatic activation. Compared to other forms of folate, Quatrefolic® offers greater stability and bioavailability, ensuring more efficient absorption.
Folic acid is essential during pregnancy, as it contributes to maternal tissue growth and the normal metabolism of homocysteine, playing a key role in the prevention of embryonic development defects.***
