Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
We hypothesized that the n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids from fish oil might have greater effect during growth and development, as intervention trials studying the effect of fish oil on babies have shown greater effects than in adults.
