Fish oil supplements are of two types, one made from the body of the fish and another made from the liver of the fish. The supplements which are made from the liver of the fish like cod liver oil is necessary to avoid totally during the pregnancy as it contain retinol form of vitamin A. But fish oil which is not derived from the liver of the fish contains lots of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), an omega -3 essential fatty acid and many other beneficial things. These are known as best fish oil and they are very much beneficial during pregnancy as they are essential for the eyes and brain of your developing babies. Presently there is no perfect dosage of DHA as this is currently being researched.
It is said that if you’re taking a different variety of diet and that too associated with some oily fish then there is not any requirement of any of the supplements. If your diet is associated with best fish oil, you will get sufficient amount of DHA along with the other nutrients. You can also have a little amount of DHA in some other foods like walnuts, flaxseeds, rapeseed and linseed. But there is some doubt, that whether the benefits of DHA are same from both the sources vegetable as well as fish.
You must include DHA in your diet at least in the last trimester especially for the development of baby’s normal brain, eye and vision. Due to this reason only premature babies are particularly at risk of eye and brain damage.
Probiotics are live microorganisms which are found in human gut and are similar to beneficial microorganisms. These are known as friendly bacteria or good bacteria. You can get these probiotics mainly in the form of dietary supplements and foods. These bacteria are vital to the proper and balance development of the immune system. It protects your body against various microorganisms which may cause disease in your body. So it is very much effective and helpful in the process of digestion and absorption of food and nutrients. So there are many reasons due to which people are interested in probiotics for the purpose of good health.
