PREGNANT and BREASTFEEDING WOMEN!!!
CHOLEDUZ is a premium source of Omega 3 Fish oil, and contains Essential Fatty Acids with 50 % DHA, 20%EPA and Vitamin E. It is a dietary supplement essential for pregnant and
breastfeeding women.
During pregnancy, developing babies rely on their
mothers to get needed DHA. Since DHA is
derived from the foods we eat, the content of
DHA in a mother's diet determines the amount of
DHA passed on to her developing baby.
Unfortunately, the majority of pregnant women
fail to get the recommended amount of DHA in
their diets and DHA is not found in most prenatal
vitamins.
DHA can only come from food or supplements
like
CHOLEDUZ . There is no other way to get it.
Everyone needs DHA but the most important
time to take fish oil is during pregnancy and
during the first couple of years of your child’s
life.
Current research suggests adequate levels of
DHA may help increase a developing baby's
cognitive functioning, reduce the risk of pre-term
labor and decrease the risk of postpartum
depression. Consider the following:
A 2003 study published in the journal Pediatrics
showed children whose mothers took a DHA
supplement during pregnancy scored higher on
intelligence tests at four years of age than
children of mothers not taking DHA supplements.
A 2004 study published in Child Development
found that babies whose mothers had high blood
levels of DHA at delivery had advanced attention
spans into their second year of life. During the
first six months of life these infants were two
months ahead of babies whose mothers had
lower DHA levels.
Other research studies suggest breastfed babies
have IQs of 6 to 10 points higher than formula-
fed babies. Medical and nutritional experts
attribute this difference to the DHA infants
receive while nursing.
In a trial of women receiving DHA
supplementation during the third trimester, the
average length of gestation increased six days
(Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2003).
Research has found low levels of DHA in
mother's milk and in the red blood cells of
women with postpartum depression. (Journal of
Affective Disorders, 2002). Some scientists
believe increasing levels of maternal DHA may
reduce the risk of postpartum depression.
Research findings such as these have led
pregnancy and child health experts to spread the
word about the importance of DHA during
pregnancy. Dr. William Sears, one of the nation's
leading experts on child health and development
and longtime advocate of DHA, states "DHA is
the most important brain-building nutrient at all
ages, especially during pregnancy and the pre-
school years when the child's brain is growing
the fastest."
In what many consider the modern day
pregnancy bible, What to Expect When You are
Expecting, Heidi Murkoff, et.al., devotes a
section to the importance of adequate DHA in
the pregnancy diet chapter of her book. She
explains that "DHA is important during
pregnancy, especially during the last three
months, when your baby's brain grows at a rapid
pace and lactation (the DHA content of a baby's
brain triples during the first three months of life)
."
Another maternity expert, Rebecca Matthias,
president of Mothers Work, Inc., the nation's
leading maternity retailer touts the benefits of
DHA in her latest book, 51 Secrets of
Motherhood. She celebrates "DHA as the new
wonder supplement that actually increases your
baby's growth."
With CHOLEDUZ today's mothers-to-be and new
moms can ensure their babies get the DHA they
need to thrive. DHA is critical for developing
babies during pregnancy and lactation the
benefits of this fatty acid last forever...
