Obimin Pluz

Since ramai member-member Mummy (especially dari kalangan bloggers) yang sekarang ni pregnant dan ada yang masih breastfeeding, Mummy ingat nak share sikit la information pasal Obimin Pluz ni.
For those yang buat antenatal check up kat private hospital, sure pernah dengar dua nama ni kan ~ Obimin dan NeuroGain. Obimin (yang kaler merah tu) consists of all the vitamins needed during pregnancy ataupun orang lebih suka gelarkannya sebagai 'ubat tambah darah'. NeuroGain pulak adalah sejenis supplement yang mengandungi DHA which helps to promote proper brain and eye development pada janin (semasa dalam kandungan) dan bayi. Usually mothers yang mahukan yang terbaik untuk anak-anak mereka, akan ambil kedua-dua supplement ni semasa mengandung dan semasa menyusukan.


So sekarang ni, Obimin Pluz menggabungkan kedua-duanya ke dalam 1 kapsul ~ Obimin + NeuroGain. Tapi NeuroGain ada DHA sahaja, manakala Obimin Pluz ada DHA dan EPA sekali. Since sumber yang kaya dengan DHA/ EPA adalah ikan, maka minyak ikanlah yang digunakan. NeuroGain pun dibuat menggunakan minyak ikan jugak. That's why rasa dia macam hanyir sikit. Tapi untuk Obimin Pluz, minyak ikan yang diorang guna melalui beberapa level penyaringan terlebih dahulu. Therefore, it is almost 100% fish odour-free.

Bila 2 benda dah combine jadi 1, tentulah ianya menjadi lebih cost-effective. Pastu, lagi selesa la kan sebab instead of makan 2 jenis ubat, kita makan 1 kapsul jer. So duit yang extra tu, boleh buat beli baby punya accessories yang lain. :)

What are EPA/DHA?

EPA DHA is an essential fatty acid which stands for docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid. This essential fatty acid is an Omega 3 fat, which is found in cold water fish. EPA DHA are highly unsaturated fat because of they contain 6 and 5 double bond s on their long structural chain. These polyunsaturated fats play a very important role with the function of our bodies.

EPA and DHA are vital nutrients and may be taken to maintain healthy function of the following: Brain and Retina- DHA is a building block of tissue in the brain and retina of the eye. It helps with forming neural transmitters, such as phosphatidylserine, which is important for brain function. DHA is found in the retina of the eye and taking DHA may be necessary for maintaining healthy levels of DHA for normal eye function.

Cardiovascular system - EPA and DHA are converted into hormone like substances called prostaglandins, and they regulate cell activity and healthy cardiovascular function.

Human growth and intellectual development - DHA plays a very important role during fetal development, early infancy, and old age. High concentrations of DHA are found in the brain and increases 300-500% in and infant's brain during the last trimester of pregnancy. Adding DHA to a pregnant mothers diet may be beneficial for the fetus's brain development. Elderly people should also take EPA DHA, because as we get older, our bodies form less DHA and EPA, which may cause less mental focus and cognitive function. Taking EPA DHA may also help with mental abnormalities, such as Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia.

There are other benefits to taking EPA and DHA because it also plays as a source of energy, it insulates the body against heat loss, prevents skin from drying and flaking, and cushions tissues and organs.
