How It Fits Into a Protocol
A prenatal is the foundation of a pregnancy plan, and it comes first. Pure notes it is best combined with EPA/DHA, so our Ultra Omega-3 is the usual partner. Any other products are added through your own provider, since needs change through pregnancy and nursing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I add an omega-3?
Pure notes this formula is best combined with EPA/DHA, which is why I pair it with a separate omega-3 such as Ultra Omega-3.
When do I take it?
2 capsules daily, with a meal, or as your practitioner directs.
Who should check with a prescriber first?
Anyone who is pregnant or lactating, has a health condition or takes any medication, especially a blood thinner, should check with their prescribing provider before adding this.
