Omega-3 fats promote visual development in babies.

Supplements that are safe for pregnant women


Res-Q 1250 is an omega-3 supplement that provides more omega-3s for less. Safe to take when pregnant and breastfeeding, Res-Q 1250 can be recommended when other supplements cannot. Studies show that omega-3 is so beneficial that the idea of not obtaining omega-3 when pregnant may cause more harm than good. Due to water pollution, pregnant women cannot obtain enough omega-3 from fish due to concern over heavy metals. The Res-Q 1250 dietary supplement is a purified, safe form of omega-3. Metals and oxidative impurities are removed through a specialized purification process.



A new study shows more DHA is better.
By comparing vision at four months of age, and dividing the infants into multiple groups, a new study sheds light on the subject of just how much omega-3 pregnant women need. Babies fed a higher dose of DHA compared with a lower dose of DHA, had better vision. Omega-3 fats promote visual development in babies and are a very beneficial supplement for women to take on a regular basis. The study determined that one gram of DHA was better than the typical dose used, which is far less.



How much omega-3s do I need?

Since the optimal amount of omega-3s remains to be established, pregnant and nursing women should consult their doctor for dosage recommendations and for administration to children under one year of age. It is still very important to work closely with your doctor regarding dietary requirements for infants, and make sure that your doctor knows what supplements you take. As we learn more, we continue to share information with physicians and customers.
