Nordic Naturals Professional Exclusive Division Introduces Prenatal DHA An
Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplement for Pregnant Women

WATSONVILLE, Calif., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Nordic Naturals Professional
Exclusive Division announces Prenatal DHA, a product developed especially for
pregnant women to ensure adequate DHA, an important omega-3 essential fatty
acid and a vital nutrient for the new mother and developing baby. Prenatal DHA
carries the approval seal of the American Pregnancy Association, the leading
non-profit organization in the United States that is committed to promoting
reproductive and pregnancy wellness through education, research, advocacy and
community awareness.

Though studies consistently report that pregnant women in the US and Canada
consume far too little of this essential nutrient, scientific research
confirms the importance of essential fatty acids for prenatal, maternal and
neonatal health. See www.omega-research.com. DHA comprises about 30% of the
fatty tissue in the brain and is critical for proper development of the brain,
eyes, nerves and immune system.

According to Dr. Tori Hudson, Advisory Board Member to Nordic Naturals,
"Health care providers need to educate women about the importance of
optimizing omega-3 fatty acid stores before, during, and after pregnancy.
Research shows that mothers who supplement with fish oils are more likely to
give birth to full term babies and have healthier birth weights. Quantity and
quality are critical, however, to obtain maximum results." Suggested dosage by
international nutritional organizations suggest that pregnant and nursing
women need a minimum of 300 mg DHA each day to ensure healthy development of
the fetus, as well as to support mom's physical and mental health pre and
post-delivery.

"In working with women, I have found it almost impossible for my patients to
get what they need in omega-3 fatty acids by eating fish not to mention that
many species of fish contain undesirable amounts of environmental toxins,"
adds Dr. Hudson.

Two easy-to-swallow soft gels of Prenatal DHA offer 450 mg DHA. This meets the
recommended dosage for pregnant and lactating women agreed upon by respected
international organizations and published by ISSFAL in the United Kingdom. The
fatty acids are delivered in their natural and highly absorbable triglyceride
form. In response to concerns in medical and scientific literature about the
prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the U.S. and to recommendations that
higher intakes of this vitamin are necessary, the company has added 400 I.U.
vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), the natural form of vitamin D, to Prenatal DHA.
The product is third-party tested and surpasses all international standards
for purity and freshness.

Distributing products to over 20 countries on all major continents, Nordic
Naturals is the international leader in omega-3 fish oils and EFA blends. The
company has built a strong reputation in the omega fatty acid category by
delivering exceptional purity, freshness, taste and demonstrating
environmental responsibility. Nordic Naturals has over 150 different fish oil
products, including liquids, soft gels, and children's chewables - all in
natural triglyceride form. For information, call 800.662.2544 or visit
