Most Commercially Viable New Product
Prenatal DHA
Know anyone who's recently been pregnant and is also a vegetarian or vegan?

Here's the problem. Infant brain development requires at least 300mg of Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) per day. Most doctors prescribe a Fish Oil or "Prenatal DHA" to fulfill this requirement. Yet fish oil is clearly not vegan.

That's where Diet Standards comes in. They developed a Prenatal DHA using marine algae. The result is a mercury-free alternative to fish oil.
