Functional LC ω-3 PUFAs in pregnancy: a short review of the literature
2009
Derbyshire, Emma
At present, research shows that pregnant women are not consuming enough long-chain (LC) ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) from their diet alone. Therefore, functional foods and supplements may be an alternative way for women to attain LC ω-3 PUFA guidelines in pregnancy. A review of the literature has identified that there are a limited number of studies investigating the use of functional foods/supplements in pregnancy. However, those that have been undertaken do appear to indicate that their consumption may be beneficial to both mother and child. Further research is now needed to reinforce preliminary findings from these studies.
