Smarter,better sight: Taking dha has been shown to improve the vision and intelligence of babies while lowering risk of behavioral problems. It significantly reduces risk of premature birth as well. It will also benefit your health, lowering risk of postpartum depression. See http://www.Rmbarry.Com/research/prenatal_omega3.Html and http://www.Chiralbalance.Com/dha/.
