I had so much trouble finding them. I found a different brand but they used gelatin so I just said forget it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-there-tuna-oil-in-baby-food#post-663958 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 14:38:41 +0000 allison 663958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: just for future reference, you can get DHA capsules sourced from algae. That's what I've been taking -- found them at Whole Foods, but you can get them from Amazon, too. They're more expensive right now, though, for some reason: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009KTUGSS/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009KTUGSS/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-there-tuna-oil-in-baby-food#post-663905 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 14:04:12 +0000 wheres_c 663905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: ugh I hate that. I wanted to take a DHA supplement while preggo and couldnt find one without fish sourced DHA </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-there-tuna-oil-in-baby-food#post-663875 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 13:48:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 663875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just noticed this recently too - something possessed me to read the ingredients and I was totally confused, because the earth's best just says, "organic pears and water" or something. I decided to start getting earth's best for when I don't make it myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-there-tuna-oil-in-baby-food#post-658353 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:59:25 +0000 Mrsbells 658353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow.. wasnt aware of this.

It probably advertises on the container that it has DHAs in the babyfood? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-there-tuna-oil-in-baby-food#post-658151 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:04:23 +0000 amy 658151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its the source of the DHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-there-tuna-oil-in-baby-food#post-658150 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:04:22 +0000 autumnlove 658150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the DHA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-there-tuna-oil-in-baby-food#post-658149 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:04:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 658149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It says source of dha so it appears to add omega 3's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-there-tuna-oil-in-baby-food#post-658145 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:02:58 +0000 winniebee 658145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ick!
