EPA safe intake for pregnant women

EPA is very important to the body of pregnant women. Daily intake of more than 2g of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) can improve lipid metabolism, inhibit platelet coagulation, and improve peripheral circulation. This can not only provide the essential fatty acids needed for fetal development, but also increase the conversion of prostacyclin PGI2, which is helpful to eliminate unnecessary fat in the body.

EPA is a polyunsaturated fat that can make the blood and respiratory system smoother. It is an ingredient that pregnant women often need to fully consider when choosing DHA products. Pregnant women consume a lot of EPA substances during pregnancy, which accelerate the blood circulation, increase heart rate, increase the physiological function pressure of various important organs, increase blood pressure and speed up breathing in a short period of time. In addition, EPA will immediately block blood concentration values, reduce the blood's ability to transport nutrients, reduce the supply of nutrients from pregnant women to the fetus, and affect the normal digestion of nutrients by the fetus.

The fetus absorbs the EPA substances obtained by the pregnant mother, which will also increase the physiological function pressure of the fetus's own important organs, which is not conducive to the development of the fetus in the pregnant mother. In addition, due to the accelerated blood flow, it will stimulate unreasonable fetal exercise and fitness, which may result in premature birth. The impact of EPA on baby's development 1. EPA can be metabolized into male prostaglandin in the human body, thereby improving the male sexual function of the human body. Excessive consumption by adolescents and children will cause precocious puberty. 2. EPA can cause central nervous system excitement, making it difficult for babies to fall asleep at night and drowsy during the day.

EPA has the function of reducing normal blood viscosity and closing blood concentration values, which can easily lead to coagulation disorders and is not good for the health of adolescents. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a globally recognized authority, uses the presence of EPA as a key evaluation criterion for the safety of DHA products for babies and pregnant women.
