Prenatal Precaution: Private Label for Pregnant Women

Taking prenatal vitamins and supplements can lower the risk of complications for both mother and baby. Certain nutrients are important before pregnancy, others during it. When planning your next private label prenatal product with us, consider the following information… your customers will thank you.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Unable to produce them on our own, women are encouraged to take omega-3 supplements regardless of pregnancy, though omega-3 becomes highly important during the process. Research shows that the two most beneficial omega-3s are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), as they support optimal function of the eyes, heart, brain, joints, and immune system. During pregnancy, EPA and DHA promote the healthy development of not only the fetal brain, nervous system and eyes, but birth weight and gestational length. EPA and DHA even supporting a positive mood and overall wellness in the mother.

Sources

EPA and DHA are best found in cold-water fish such as sardine, salmon, tuna and herring. Some people are wary about dangerous levels of mercury and other toxins in fish. Many women turn to purified fish oil supplements for that exact reason. Who better to choose from than YOUR private label brand?

Educate Your Customers

Debunk the myth that flaxseed oil, which contains the shorter-chain omega-3 ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), converts to EPA and DHA. The truth is that the best source of these much-needed nutrients is fish oil. But what about customers who don’t eat fish? Easy, they can enjoy #yoursupplementsolution through a high-quality fish oil softgel.

Most U.S. women are deficient in EPA and DHA upon conception, and those levels will only decline during pregnancy, as the placenta supplies the fetus with DHA from the mother’s tissue. Depletion continues 9-12 months postpartum and worsens with multiple pregnancies.
