Abstract:
Pure love, deserves a pure start. That begins with the right nutrition — and DHA is one of its foundations. In 2020, the WHO estimated that 13.4 million babies were born preterm worldwide — and considers most cases preventable. Adequate Omega-3 status is one of the modifiable, evidence-backed factors: a 2018 Cochrane review found that Omega-3 supplementation reduced preterm birth by 11% and early preterm birth by 42% — yet most pregnant women still aren't reaching the intake levels the science now recommends. In 2024, an international panel of experts published new Clinical Practice Guidelines on Omega-3 intake in pregnancy, endorsed by EBCOG. At dsm-firmenich, we believe this evidence positions DHA as the next folic acid — a foundational nutrient every maternal formulation should account for. Join us to explore how the latest DHA guidelines can inform product innovation. We’ll cover the recommended intake levels, highlight the gap between recommendations and current prenatal formulations, and discuss the barriers that prevent women from staying on their supplements. These include pill burden and digestive discomfort, which lead nearly 30% of women to discontinue use. We'll conclude by showcasing how life'sDHA® gummies, Smart Chews, and capsules help overcome these challenges with high-dose DHA in formats women prefer and stay with.
