Dsm-firmenich is hosting a webinar titled Pure love deserves a pure start on October 13, 2026. The session will focus on the role of DHA in reducing preterm birth risks and showcase new supplement formats.
Why it matters
Improving maternal DHA intake is critical for reducing preterm birth rates, yet patients often struggle with traditional capsules. Companies are now focusing on improving adherence by addressing challenges like pill size and fishy taste.
A 2018 Cochrane review linked omega-3 supplementation to an 11% lower risk of preterm births. Recommended daily intake for pregnant women includes an additional 100-200 mg of DHA, while those with low baseline levels should consume 600-1000 mg.

In 2024, international clinical practice guidelines updated daily DHA and EPA intake recommendations.
The Dsm-firmenich webinar will occur on October 13, 2026.
Culture Shift
This move reflects a broader pivot toward patient-centered supplement design, moving away from legacy pill formats that often hinder compliance. The industry is increasingly aligning product development with the 2018 Cochrane review on omega-3 fatty acid supplementation to ensure efficacy.
Women of childbearing age should consider the 2024 international recommendation to consume at least 250 mg of DHA and EPA daily to meet baseline needs. Those with inadequate pre-pregnancy levels may need to increase their intake to between 600 and 1000 mg to help reduce preterm birth risks.
The takeaway
Maintaining adequate DHA levels is as important before pregnancy as it is during the term. Pregnant individuals should speak with their healthcare providers to determine if their daily intake meets current clinical guidelines.
