CLINICAL PEARL

During pregnancy, the decrease in maternal stores of omega-3FAs increases the risk of postpartum depression and bipolar depression. It is vital to ensure adequate levels of dietary EPA and DHA for women during pregnancy and breastfeeding and in infant formulas, particularly in premature infants. Although there is no agreed-upon optimal dose, a total of 1,500–2,400 mg/day omega-3 fish oil, containing 1,000–1,600 mg EPA plus 500–800 mg DHA, would probably be sufficient.
