A landmark Cochrane Review was recently published showing the correlation between long-chain omega-3 (DHA and EPA) intake during pregnancy and the baby’s length of gestation. As a “gold standard” of scientific evidence analysis, the authors of the Cochrane Review suggest 500 mg – 1,000 mg of long-chain omega-3s, which includes a minimum of 500 mg of DHA may lower the risk of premature birth, including early preterm birth (ePTB less than 34 weeks of gestation).
World Prematurity Day is observed in November each year to raise awareness of preterm birth worldwide, and it presents an opportunity to discuss risk factors of preterm birth, as well as the role omega-3s and omega-6s have in reducing the risk of preterm birth, according to leading science.
