Write an executive summary in the form of a blog article on the topic of "Researched Chinese medicine treatments for Embryo Quality" summarising the research below in an objective and easy to understand way, and using language that can be easily understood by patients. Group the article into Chinese medicine treatments first, followed by nutrition and other treatments. Avoid using medical jargon and use a professional and caring tone of voice.

Write me a concise but easy to understand executive summary on the topic of "Chinese medicine treatments for Embryo Quality" based on the following research that I will give you. Your summary should be 2 paragraphs long in Australian English spelling and include references to the studies.

A Systematic Review published in 2022 in the journal European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology found that Increased intake of omega-3 can enhance the quality of oocyte and embryo, thereby potentially improving the success rate of assisted reproductive techniques. The systematic review was conducted adhering to the PRISMA 2020 statement and the procedure was registered with PROSPERO. Women who were undergoing assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilisation or intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and whose diets were evaluated for omega-3 intake, were the focal point. The analysis looked at women who had an increased omega-3 intake compared to women undergoing the same procedures without an increased omega-3 intake prior to the cycle. A wide range of literature was reviewed, selecting five relevant studies which consisted a large number of records. The results of these five studies show a beneficial effect of omega-3 fats on the success rate of assisted reproductive outcomes. This is primarily illustrated by an increase in the quality of both the oocyte and the embryo, recognised through enhanced morphological and morphokinetic parameters. While the studies viewed varied in specifics, all pointed to the optimistic impact of increasing omega-3 intake in women seeking pregnancy through assisted methods.
