I am intolerant to mackerel and anchovies: can I still take Omegor Vitality?

I am intolerant to mackerel and anchovies: can I still take Omegor Vitality?


Dear Monica,


If you are referring to a true allergy to this type of fish, I can tell you that allergic reactions are triggered by the fish proteins themselves.


The molecular distillation process of the oil removes any presence of proteins in the final product. In principle, the concentrated Omega-3 oil in our supplements should not trigger hypersensitivity reactions in allergic individuals. 


Thank you for contacting us. 


Best regards, Dr. Rosaria Ramondino
