The case study details the history and impact of the work our Executive Director Prof Maria Makrides has led into omega-3 supplementation as a preterm birth prevention.

Folic acid is an essential nutrient during the first three months of pregnancy to reduce the chance of having a baby with a neural tube defect. 👶

However, we don’t know whether continuing to take folic acid after 12 weeks is beneficial or may have negative effects. The FIG Study aims to find this out.

Participants will receive free multivitamin and mineral supplements for the rest of their pregnancy.
