Do preterm infants need more docosahexaenoic acid?
In this follow-up to a randomized controlled trial, supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in mothers of preterm children did not improve behavioral functioning at 5 years of age.
Folic acid and DHA may provide reversible benefits to cognitive decline
Does supplementing with aspirin or omega-3 fatty acids improve eye health in people with diabetes?
Supplements for cognitive function in older adults
Supplemental DHA in pregnant women might improve birth outcomes
