Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Helen,You can simply increase the number of caps/dose to meet the desired dose EPA, DHA, or get liquid fish oil such as the 300ml bottles from Healthspan. Robbins Does anyone know of supplier of fish oil capsules that don't contain gelatin? My patient is taking Seven Seas f.o. capsules which apparently are gelatin-free (can't find out what they contain from their website), but they are too low in EPA and DHA. He has ulcerative colitis.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Those are a possibility, thank you. The patient is Muslim, which I suppose means there could be an issue with glycerine too unless it states veg glycerine.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Helen,Do ask your patient. Many Musilms will even take tincture as medicine. They don't automatically shun bovine gelatine caps, again if as medicine. Robbins Those are a possibility, thank you.
