CitraNatal® Assure is a comprehensive prenatal vitamin with increased level of DHA.
In order to ensure that pregnant women get the recommended level of DHA during pregnancy, Mission Pharmacal has increased the amount of DHA to 300 mg.1 In addition, CitraNatal® Assure also contributes to Mom's comfort by using calcium citrate — a calcium source known to produce less gas and bloating than calcium carbonate; as well as docusate sodium, a stool softener to aid in relieving the symptoms of constipation that are sometimes associated with pregnancy.2
Finally, CitraNatal® Assure contains life'sDHA™, a pure, pre-formed, plant-based DHA. This pure source DHA eliminates the worry and concern that can come from fish-based Omega-3 fatty acids, which can contain trace levels of mercury and PCBs (poly-chlorinated bi-phenyls).
