If I have fish allergies, what supplements can I take?

On Wednesday, February 13, 2019
You can take anything that does not contain ingredients that were extracted from fish. That information should be on the label i.e. "product contains no ingredients from fish/seafood". Ingredients in many multivitamin and mineral (MVM), joint support and of course omega-3 fatty acid supplements originate from natural sources such as fish organs or flesh. If you have been diagnosed with a fish allergy, your doctor or dietitian should design your diet and supplement program appropriately. But, at the end of the day, you should include a daily MVM (no ingredients from fish), and a vegetarian omega-3 supplement. Look for your vegetarian omega-3 supplement to contain 600 mg of omega -3s made up of 360 mg EPA & 240 mg DHA. If you are looking for the potential health benefits related to maintaining brain, heart, hearing and eye health, take 1 capsule daily.
