Omega-3 supplement alternative to VitaDHA

Dear Rita,

I'm sorry you're having difficulty with taking the supplement—most likely you're sensitive to the oily texture.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a substitute product, as all other supplements contain a maximum of 200 mg of DHA along with other ingredients. You might try placing the sachets in the freezer and using them with citrus or strawberry yogurt.

Freezing eliminates any aftertaste and oily consistency. I hope this method helps you overcome the difficulties you’ve encountered.

Kind regards,

Dr. Rosaria Ramondino Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Chemist
