Expertly formulated by a board-certified neurologist and mother who understands the science—and the heart—of early brain development.

Superior Tryglyceride Form

Triglyceride form (rTAG) — the natural form of fish oil your body absorbs most efficiently, rather than ethyl esters, which can break down into alcohol, exposing your baby to unwanted substances.
No Fishy Aftertaste (burp free)
 ✓ ✗
Lemon-flavored soft-gels designed with pregnancy-sensitive stomachs in mind. Fish oil processed in Norway means less oxidation and no unpleasant aftertaste — so you'll actually want to take it every day.
Third-Party Tested
 ✓ ✓
Every batch tested for purity, potency, and safety. What's on the label is what's in your bottle — verified by independent labs to meet FDA and California Prop 65 standards.

Dr. Brain Mom's Parent Tip

Take your DHA with your biggest meal of the day, ideally one that has other fats in it. Think eggs, avocados, olive oil. That combination helps your body better absorb what you're giving it. Have morning sickness? Many moms find they do better when taking DHA in the evening: your baby's brain is doing some of its most active development while you sleep.
