Pregnancy is a special time; your body is performing incredible feats. At the same time, you're confronted with countless pieces of advice and decisions. How can I best support my baby? Many mothers ask themselves this question. A healthy diet is essential to providing the baby with all the essential nutrients. Fish is too rare in our diets (and it's difficult to buy high-quality, fresh fish in Germany unless you live on the coast). However, omega-3 fatty acids are an important building block, not only for your health, but also for that of your baby.
Does the mere thought of omega-3 supplements make you feel nauseous, like giant capsules that leave you with an unpleasant fishy burp after taking them? Then we have good news for you: If you follow the tips in this blog post, you'll meet your omega-3 needs without any fishy taste or discomfort.
The most important things in brief
The skin protects the body from external influences, and a simple routine of cleansing, moisturizing and sun protection is crucial for its health.
Aging is accelerated by genetic predisposition and external factors such as UV radiation, smoking and poor nutrition.
Antioxidants and collagen supplements can improve skin elasticity and help prevent premature aging.
What are omega-3 fatty acids and why are they important?
Omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA and EPA are essential nutrients that the body cannot produce itself. They support brain development, vision, and inflammation regulation, among other things. They play a particularly crucial role during pregnancy, as they can promote the baby's development and reduce the risk of premature birth.
Why most of us are deficient in Omega-3
Our Western diet often contains too little omega-3. Fish—the main source of DHA and EPA—is rarely eaten, and plant-based alternatives like flaxseed usually don't meet our needs. The result: Many people, especially pregnant women, are omega-3 deficient.
Why supplementation during pregnancy is useful
The increased need during pregnancy often makes high-quality supplementation necessary. This ensures optimal supply, protects against deficiencies, and supports the healthy development of the baby – especially the brain and eyes. Look for toxin-free products with a high DHA content.
Unbeatable benefits for mother and baby
The fatty acids DHA and EPA support brain development and the child's vision. Studies also suggest that a good supply of omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of premature birth and diseases such as asthma, allergies, and atopic dermatitis.
But it's not just your baby that benefits: Omega-3 is also your personal helper during pregnancy. It can balance your mood swings (your partner will appreciate this too 😉), reduce the risk of postpartum depression, and prevent inflammation.
Ensure the best possible support for your baby and your own well-being with WHITE OMEGA® Mama Omega-3 capsules. With an optimal balance of DHA and EPA, you support healthy brain, eye, and heart development—without a fishy taste or unpleasant burping.

Quality over quantity: Many women make this mistake when taking
The many positive effects of omega-3 are undeniable. You can find supplements not only in pharmacies, but also in drugstores or online. Many women opt for cheaper products for cost reasons, assuming that "omega-3" is "omega-3." But there's a problem here: inferior products often don't contain enough DHA and EPA to achieve the desired positive effects. And worse still, the wrong supplements can do more harm than good due to contamination or oxidation (explain if necessary). When it comes to your health and that of your baby, however, you shouldn't cut corners.
Two reasons why many Omega-3 products do more harm than good
You buy omega-3 products in the belief that you're doing something good for yourself and your baby. But be careful: Especially cheap products offered in drugstores or as bargains at discount stores are often inferior.
Contaminated fish oil due to poor fish quality
Often, low-quality farmed fish or fish waste is used. Particularly problematic: Many products derive their oil from large predatory fish like salmon. These fish are at the bottom of the food chain and accumulate large amounts of heavy metals like mercury and other environmental toxins over their lifetime. Exactly what you should definitely avoid during pregnancy! Furthermore, the fish oils are often not sufficiently purified to remove even the smallest amounts of contaminants like heavy metals or PCBs.
Small fish such as anchovies are actually best suited because they are much less contaminated with pollutants due to their small size and short lifespan.
The hidden danger in almost all Omega-3 products
Nearly all products on the market have another problem: oxidized fish oil. If fish oil has been stored for too long or is poorly processed, it oxidizes – you'll recognize this by the typical fishy taste when you burp after taking it. Such products can promote inflammation instead of relieving it and, on top of that, burden your body with toxins while it's working at peak performance. You definitely want to avoid this during pregnancy.
Here's the warning sign you need to look out for: If your fish oil capsules have a dark yellow color—and unfortunately, this is the case with most products on the market—then that's a clear warning sign. This color indicates that the oil has oxidized. The typical "fishy" taste when burping is not only unpleasant, but also another warning sign. Oxidized fish oil is not only ineffective, but can actively harm your body.
Imagine: Instead of doing something good for yourself and your baby, you may be introducing harmful substances into your body. Oxidized oils can promote inflammation in the body—exactly the opposite of what you want to achieve. Additionally, low-quality products can be contaminated with heavy metals and other harmful substances.
My urgent advice to you: If you have dark yellow fish oil capsules at home, throw them away. Your body does tremendous work during pregnancy—support it with high-quality, carefully purified, and fresh omega-3 supplements. You shouldn't compromise on your baby's health.
These are the points you should pay attention to when buying Omega-3 products
Assessing the quality of omega-3 products is anything but easy. It's extremely difficult to judge the quality just by looking at the packaging. After all, companies' marketing departments work at full speed to make their products appear high-quality.
When buying Omega-3, you should pay attention to the following criteria to ensure you and your baby only get the best quality:
-
Freshness: Oxidized fish oil not only tastes unpleasant, but can also be harmful. Capsules should be colorless, not dark yellow!
Fish quality: Certified sustainable wild catch, preferably small fish, as they are much less contaminated with toxins such as heavy metals.
High DPA content: DHA is especially crucial during pregnancy. At least 200-300 mg per daily dose.
Purity and freedom from pollutants: Free from heavy metals and other pollutants.
Packaging: blister, cold storage, capsule type
-
Reliable manufacturer: Transparency, where fish oil comes from, quality controls, attention to sustainability.
Easy to take: If you have trouble taking capsules, the capsules should be easy to swallow.
This way you can be sure that your Omega-3 is really the best for you and your baby.
