Prenatal nutrition is important! Give every baby an essential start with PrimaCare® and PrimaCare® ONE; the leading prescription prenatal vitamins with essential fatty acids (EFAs) that contain a patented and balanced source of DHA and EPA. (65)

The PrimaCare®/PrimaCare® ONE 360 Advantage

A unique blend of 360 mg of essential fatty acids (EFAs) and precursors, including*:

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)

PrimaCare® provides the highest amount and the most complete range of any essential fatty
acids of any prenatal vitamin. (1-4) Other prescription prenatal vitamins and over-the-counter (OTC) vitamins:

May only contain DHA

Have lower total essential fatty acids (up to 80% lower)

Omega-3s from fish oil source have been studied extensively (10-13, 22, 25, 29)

Omega-3 essential fatty acids have been studied extensively in pregnancy and newborns. (11-13, 22, 48) Some prescription prenatal vitamins contain algae sources (sometimes known as "all natural vegetarian sources" or "plant sources"), and have not been studied extensively in pregnancy.

Fish oil omega-3 benefits to baby include:

Decreased risk of preterm birth (11-13)

Improved cognitive function (15-17)

Improved visual acuity (16, 18-20)

Fish oil omega-3 benefits to mother include :
