Omega-3 fatty acids are good for you!

In infertile women, omega-3 fatty acid intake has been associated with increased probability of pregnancy following IVF. In natural fertility, studies are conflicting, and no study of natural fertility has evaluated omega-3 fatty acid supplementation and fecundity.

A new study now strongly suggests that women taking omega-3 supplements had a 50% higher chance of conceiving compared to women not taking omega-3s. This was after the researchers had taken into account age, obesity, race, previous pregnancy, vitamin D and other prenatal and multivitamin use.
