Prenatal DHA (Soft Gels: 90)
Concentrated DHA with added vitamin D3: A woman’s demand for the omega-3 DHA increases during pregnancy and breast-feeding, as the foetus uses omega-3s for its nervous system development.
Omega-3s are also used to make breast milk, and provide important mood and nerve support for mothers.
Third-party tested for purity, Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA is a safe and effective way to ensure that both mother and baby receive the daily recommended intake of this fundamental nutrient without any risk of toxicity.
In response to concerns in medical and scientific literature about the prevalence of vitamin D3 deficiency, and to the recommendations that higher intakes of vitamin D3 are necessary, Nordic have also added 400 I.U. vitamin D3 to each serving.
The unflavoured soft gels are perfect for even the most sensitive palate, and are half the size of standard soft gels, making them easier to swallow.
Prenatal DHA provides the foundation for a healthy pregnancy.
DHA Infant is in the natural triglyceride form for optimal absorption. Nordic Naturals patented “nitrogen processing” ensures that DHA Infant is absolutely pure and fresh. Fresh fish oils are better for the body, and do not create negative side effects such as repeat or burp-back.
Nordic Naturals fish oils surpass all national and international pharmaceutical standards for freshness. Every batch of Nordic Naturals fish oils is third-party tested to guarantee exceptional freshness and purity levels, and is free from heavy metals and environmental toxins.

General Nutrient Support
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in deep-sea cold water fish. DHA is an essential nutrient for proper brain, nervous system, and visual function and must be obtained through the diet. A healthy balance of DHA is essential to properly care for the brain throughout life, particularly during the early stages of development.
A high concentration of DHA can be found in mother’s breast milk. However, the level is directly related to the amount of omega-3 fatty acids that are consumed in the mother’s diet. Due to refined foods and trendy diets, many individuals have reduced their intake of the dietary sources of omega-3 fatty acids, contributing to lower levels of DHA in breast milk. The impact of low DHA intake on neurological function of adults and children is the subject of ongoing clinical investigations.

ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR 500ml
Apple Cider Vinegar is a type of vinegar made by the fermentation of apple juice. During this process, sugar in the apple cider is broken down by bacteria and yeast into alcohol (cider) and then into vinegar.
Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, lactic, citric and malic acids. It also contains pectin, trace minerals, potassium, beneficial bacteria and enzymes.
Its acidic content is the reason it acts as a germ fighter and is used in many foods as a natural preservative against spoilage.
Melrose Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is made from certified organic apples which offer exceptional quality and flavor. In order to maintain the nutritional value, Melrose Apple Cider Vinegar is unpasteurized and unfiltered. The natural sediment that you see in the bottles is the true sign of raw and unfiltered vinegar. This sediment is a natural fibre produced by the vinegar bacteria. On standing a white cellulalaric cotton known as the “mother” will form. It can be eaten, or if you prefer, can be broken up by shaking the bottle. Commercial apple cider vinegar is filtered and pasteurised which destroys any enzymes present.
People with upset stomachs benefit from the extra help Apple Cider Vinegar gives in digesting food. Sip a mixture of 2 teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar in a third of a glass of warm water and let the Apple Cider Vinegar handle your problem.
• 6% Acidity – Organic
• Assists in digestion
• Unpasteurised and unfiltered
• Contains beneficial bacteria and active enzymes
