Omega-3s have potential to counteract THC effects on fetal development, study finds Previous studies show exposure to Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)—the main psychoactive component in cannabis—while in utero can lead to lower birth weight and potential heart complications in newborn animal offspring.

Omega-3 supplementation may mitigate THC's negative effects on fetal development, potentially preventing low birth weight and heart issues in offspring, according to recent findings in animal models. doi.org/g9bjtb
