We conducted a double-blind randomized controlled trial to understand how prenatal supplementation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) might influence infant health, particularly concerning the common cold. Pregnant women were given either a daily dose of 400 mg of DHA or a placebo starting at 18 to 22 weeks of gestation until childbirth.
Caregivers then reported on their infants’ health at 1, 3, and 6 months, sharing details about common illness symptoms. We found that DHA supplementation appeared to reduce the number of colds at one month and also seemed to lessen the duration of various cold symptoms in infants. Specifically, infants in the DHA group experienced fewer cold symptoms and had shorter durations of cough and wheezing.
While the overall occurrence of specific illness symptoms was similar between the DHA and placebo groups, DHA did bring about noteworthy benefits. At 1 month, infants in the DHA group had a 26% shorter duration of cough and 30% shorter wheezing; however, they experienced a longer duration of rash.
Furthermore, by the time the infants reached 3 months, those whose mothers took DHA were ill for 14% less time overall. At 6 months, the DHA group showed significantly reduced durations of several illness indicators, although they did experience longer episodes of vomiting.
This study suggests that prenatal DHA not only seems to impact the occurrence of colds in children but may also play a role in the duration of symptoms over the first half-year of life.

Out of everything I've purchased here, this is by far the best Omega-3! It absorbs beautifully without any belching or fishy taste. The triglyceride form is rare and comes at a great price. I wholeheartedly recommend it and will definitely order more!
This brand is the best Omega-3 I've found on IHerb. I've been taking it for over a year with no side effects, and I don't experience any unpleasant fishy smell, unlike some other Omega-3 products. Since I started taking this alongside other vitamins, I haven't encountered any illnesses or even a slight common cold.

Great Omega 3! I bought this Omega 3 specifically for my husband. The dosage is excellent in one capsule, lasting two months. He takes one capsule daily, alongside vitamin D3 with meals. He appreciates the ease of use and its effectiveness. Before taking Omega 3, he frequently caught a common cold and suffered from weakness. Since its regular intake began, he hasn't been ill all autumn nor now! He has noticed an increase in strength and energy! An excellent result! We will reorder.

She showed herself perfectly! Of everything I bought here, this is the very best Omega-3! It absorbs well, with no belching or fishy smell. I was pleased with the triglyceride form, which is uncommon, especially at this price. I recommend buying it, and I will definitely order more!
A truly effective omega! My choice was influenced by the omega-3 acids in triglyceride form, known for superior absorption. Each capsule contains 1037 mg of omega-3, with over 80% essential fatty acids EPA and DHA. This fish oil comes from wild Alaskan pollock, which thrives in clean, cold waters. Since taking this product, my immunity has increased—I haven't had any common colds for the last six months. My work capacity has risen, and my skin has stayed moist and vibrant, even in winter. You won't regret trying it!
