What Is Citracal Prenatal + DHA?

Citracal^® Prenatal + DHA and Citracal Prenatal 90 + DHA are prenatal vitamins that contain docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in addition to the usual vitamins and minerals found in most prenatal vitamins. DHA is an important nutrient that helps with eye and brain development. Both of these prenatal vitamins are only available by prescription.

Citracal Prenatal 90 + DHA contains more iron (90 mg) than Citracal Prenatal + DHA (which contains 27 mg), and is, therefore, more useful for women who have anemia due to an iron deficiency.
