Subjects were provided with 300 mg, 600 mg or placebo (olive oil) in a randomized design from week 24-26 of pregnancy until delivery. Gestational age, birth weight and birth length data were collected and infants growth at 2 and 4 months and cognitive development at 4 months and 1 year were measured.
