Wow! You’ve got a lot to juggle in the next few months as you plan for your baby’s arrival. Once you’re a mom, you’ll have even more on your plate.

And speaking of plates - your nutrition needs will change significantly throughout pregnancy and breast-feeding. Even if you’re watching your diet and making sure to eat right, you’re likely to need more of certain vitamins and minerals than you might usually get (Bartley 2005; Guidelines for Perinatal Care: AAP and ACOG 2002).

So knowing that you’re making healthy choices can give you peace of mind. But wouldn’t it be great if someone helped make those important choices simpler?

That’s why we created DuetDHA^ec. It’s the most and only prescription prenatal vitamin* designed especially to help make sure you and your baby get what you need – before you conceive, during pregnancy and after you deliver.

1. The Right Amounts

• 15 vitamins and minerals designed to help you meet the Institutes of Medicine RDA pregnancy guidelines (Dietary Reference Intake Table—The Complete Set 2004)
• Nutrients are within the Institutes of Medicine’s upper limits (UL) for safety and tolerability (Dietary Reference Intake Table—The Complete Set 2004)
• Now with 430mg of omega-3 long chain fatty acids (DHA & EPA) to help meet the World Health Organizations recommendations. (Kris-Etherton 2002)
  • DuetDHA^ec offers the most omega-3 long chain fatty acids of any prescription prenatal vitamin*

2. The Right Kinds

• Bioavailable Folic Acid (Brouwer 2001)
• Well tolerated form of iron
• 2 omega-3's - DHA and EPA
  • From a purified natural source
• The only prenatal vitamin with enteric-coated omega-3 fatty acids

3. The Right Balance

• Easy to take doses—can be taken once dailly or divided
• Enteric coated to help protect against stomach upset (Belluzi 1996)

Ask your doctor if DuetDHA^ec is the answer for you and your baby

*Enteric-coated omega-3 long-chain fatty acids, vitamins and minerals in a branded once-a-day prescription prenatal vitamin.

The Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) are established under the Institutes of Medicine (IOM) and state the amount of a nutrient that is needed for most people (97.5%) to stay healthy. They are specific to the age and gender of the person, including pregnant and/or breast-feeding women. RDAs are supplemented with a tolerable upper intake level (UL)–the largest daily amount of a vitamin, mineral, or other nutrient consumed or taken in that is unlikely to cause harm. Supplementation with DuetDHA^ec may require additional dietary intake of calcium and magnesium to meet the RDA.

As with any prescription-strength product containing folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, or vitamins D and E, please adhere carefully to the recommended dosages. Folic acid may obscure the diagnosis of pernicious anemia. Supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids should be avoided in patients with inherited or acquired bleeding diatheses, including those taking anticoagulants. Keep this and all iron-containing products out of the reach of children. See full Prescribing Information for complete usage and safety data. Supplementation with DuetDHA^ec requires additional dietary intake of calcium, magnesium and vitamin E.
