The highest DHA accumulation in infant brain occurs during the final three months of gestation and the first few months after birth. Adequate maternal DHA intake at this stage profoundly benefits babies’ intellectual and visual development. ⚠️ Warnings Dietary supplements only complement inadequate daily food nutrition.
