CHICAGO, October 11, 2007

Child-bearing woman can get the essential fats they need while avoiding known risks from food sources. Taking a stand for the critical importance of adequate omega-3 intake in pregnancy, a group of scientists recently announced a position that differs from a 2004 USDA advisory recommending that pregnant women and young children limit their intake of fish and seafood (http://www.brainybabieshealthykids.org/press-release-100407/) Mothers and their developing babies need the type of omega-3 fats found in fish, but there are serious concerns with how much and what type of fish to consume. Many fish sources contain neurotoxic metals, in particular methyl mercury. Purified omega-3 fish oil capsules are a convenient solution.

Omega-3 fats found in fish are required for normal infant development, in particular for the brain, nervous system and vision. These unique fats support a healthy pregnancy and have additional benefits for mom. Plant source omega-3s do not provide the same essential fats. “I’ve been watching the evidence unfold,” says Gretchen Vannice, MS, RD, Manager of Scientific Affairs, NourishLife, LLC, “and women are concerned and confused. The solution lies in how to get enough of these critical nutrients without potential harm to mom or child.” In North America, an estimated 90% of pregnant women do not get the minimum amount of essential fats that they need.

The company has launched a free trial program to provide their “Life” Omega 3 to help address the issue and contribute to improved health for mother and child. “It’s in every woman’s best interest to consume more Omega 3’s before, during and after pregnancy”, stated Mark Nottoli, co-founder of NourishLife “We decided to make our concentrated and purified product available to every pregnant woman.” Their free trial program is available on the company’s website at:
