A Danish study has discovered that women who took fish oil supplements during pregnancy give birth to children with reduced risk of asthma.
“I would say that the finding that the effect was there was maybe not the surprise, because there have been indications,” says Dr. Hans Bisgaard, the study’s lead researcher says. “But the magnitude was very surprising to us.”
The researchers at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark who engaged in the study gave 2.4 grams of fish oil capsules or olive oil capsules to more than 700 pregnant women who were already in the third trimester of their pregnancy.
