Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
MA- DHA capsules contain 300mg of DHA which is considered necessary for the development of brain in the child. It can be taken from 18 weeks onwards in a single daily dose till the time you are lactating the baby so that the baby gets the proper nutrients through the mother's milk.

It is best to take the calcium supplement with milk and take the iron supplement with water along with a high protein diet.
