Upsher-Smith claims Nexa Select contains plant-based docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (325 mg) and Vitamin D3 (800 IU), and offers more plant-based DHA than any other single gel capsule Rx prenatal vitamin taken once a day.
DHA is a key omega-3 fatty acid that is associated with a host of health benefits for mothers and babies.
It also contains other essential vitamins and minerals that are important for the overall health and well-being of mother and baby, including calcium and vitamins B6 and C, as well as the gentle stool softener, docusate sodium, for added comfort.
Upsher-Smith Laboratories Medical Affairs senior director Wesley Mark Todd said While Nexa Select includes numerous vitamins and minerals to support a healthy pregnancy, the folic acid and plant-based DHA in a single capsule are especially appealing to many moms-to-be.
