哺乳中的媽媽

哺餵給寶貝的母乳，其營養成份完全取決於媽媽的飲食，所以哺乳中的媽媽一定要確定自己有攝取到足夠的維它命、礦物質及必需脂肪酸，如 Omega-3。也有研究報導顯示，母奶中的 DHA，遠比魚油補充品或 DHA 粉末，還是加在配方奶中的 DHA 有效。(1) 
 

在哺乳過程，媽媽們飲食中如果有適量的 Omega-3，也就能夠給寶貝含有豐富 DHA 的母奶。

建議攝取量
美國和加拿大的飲食協會建議哺乳中的媽媽每天攝取的 DHA 和 EPA 的量加起來要超過 500 毫克，如果說每天飲食攝取量為2000千卡。(2) 國際脂肪酸研究協學會特別針對哺乳中的媽媽提出每天至少要攝取300毫克的 DHA。(3)

北極熊媽媽建議適合魚油產品
我們建議 DHA 含量最高的挪威北極熊魚油添加磷蝦油膠囊，只要兩顆挪威北極熊魚油添加磷蝦油膠囊，394毫克的 DHA，就可滿足一天所需。
