Does fish oil prevent preterm birth?

  • Niels Jørgen Secher
Veröffentlicht/Copyright: 16. Februar 2007

Abstract

A literature review was performed on the effect of fish oil on preterm birth in observational and randomized studies. The only weak effect on preterm birth found in meta-analyses could be caused by the low compliance, and the fact that many women stop supplementation before term together with a fast acting effect on fish oil.
