You often ask us whether you should take Omega-3 MK during pregnancy and breastfeeding and why Verra Complex does not contain this ingredient. Here we have the answer for you ☺️!
So the answer to the question of whether to take Omega-3 MK at this stage of life is definitely YES! And why? 🤍
– are necessary for the proper development of the heart, brain and nervous system (the baby's cognitive and motor functions)
– participates in the growth of the baby's blood cells
– contributes to the development of the baby's vision
Our body can synthesize many substances on its own, however, this is not the case with these substances and we have to supplement them. We Europeans have an Omega-3 MK deficiency (on the contrary, an O-6 MK excess). Therefore, during pregnancy & breastfeeding, it is recommended to consume Omega-3 MK in particular 🙂 to balance the ratio. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that all types of Omega-3 MK have the same function for our little ones.
Pregnant women should ideally consume about 650 mg of Omega-3 MK (EPA + DHA), where 300-350 mg should be mainly DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). However, getting such an amount from food (without increasing omega-6) is practically impossible. Therefore, we recommend supplementing them 😇🙂.
You can include Omega-3 MK in your diet with these ingredients, for example 🤍:
-selected types of sea fish (suitable for pregnant women)
-flaxseeds, hemp seeds (also available in oil form)
-walnuts (also available in oil form)
And why does Verra Complex not contain oil, which would be a source of Omega-3 MK?🔍
Verra Complex is a source of truly high-quality ingredients in organic or active form. Moreover, we do not support their stability with any additives that would burden the developing baby's organism + reduce the absorption of some nutrients within the GIT.
The oil could start to react adversely with the active forms of nutrients (oxidize) and thus degrade the product (the quality of the micronutrients contained).
And that's all 🙂.
