Structural fatty acids for mother and baby. Pharmaceutical grade DHA-rich Marine Fish Oil and Virgin Evening Primrose Oil. 30 750mg one-a-day capsules. mumomega is a unique supplement combining specific omega-3 and omega-6 long chain fatty acids that are important before, during and after pregnancy for both mother and baby. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are the major constituents of the membranes that surround every cell in the human body. A large proportion of the brain and eye is made of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Consequently, foetal and infant development is associated with a high fatty acid requirement, the supply of which is dependent on the availability from the mother's diet. Even with a well balanced diet, pregnant and lactating women cannot guarantee they are consuming the relevant fatty acids in sufficient quantities for their own and their developing baby's requirements. Supplementing with mumomega is a convenient way to ensure input of these crucil nutrients, notably DHA and GLA - which is converted in the body into AA - thereby safeguarding against any possible shortfalls in the diet. Just one capsule a day will provide an expecting mother with the intake recommended by leading authorities. The purity of Equazen oils: the oils used in mumomega are of unrivalled purity. DHA is provided by a meticulously processed pharmaceutical-grade omega-3 fish oil; omega-6 GLA is provided by virgin evening primrose oil specially sourced and produced to ensure it is clean of chemicals and pesticides. Both sources of fatty are acids are natural triglycerides: no synthetic forms of fatty acids are present. Natural triglycerides are in the form most suited for the body to absorb, and thus ensure maximum efficacy. The mumomega formulation contains only fatty acids and natural source antioxidants, but otherwise is stated by the manufacturer to be free of any additives, flavourings or synthetic compounds. Directions: one capsule per day, up to a maximum of three capsules per day with food. Not to be fed to infant children. Always read the full instructions and precautions which come with the product.
