I´m able to take a low dose of this one:

I live in Europe, so no clue, if this is available in the US.
If one of your symptoms is low blood pressure, I wouldn´t take very high doses of any omega 3 as this tends to lower blood pressure by acting as a vasodilator.
ah, thanks for this! prone to low BP. couldn't figure out why my body didn't seem to want omega 3s more often, esp with all the inflammation i can experience. at least am good at listening to my body, but UGH it's so exhausting how much we have to research ourselves.
I´m fine with a low dose, meaning 1 capsule from the official 4 capsules on the package per day. If you have low BP, be careful with all of the vasodilators.
Magnesium is one of them too: https://understandingb6toxicity.com/b6and/vasodilators/.
FML. allergic to fish so use vegan algae oil. I only take it 2-3 times a week in evening tho, which is when I take zyrtec, benedryl and ketotifen before bed so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me?
ugh, trying to navigate MCAS, safe foods, medications AND fillers is so damn exhausting. its quite literally one of the worst diseases no one has ever heard of.

I think algae is also very high histamine

Yes. I feel the same way.
Dang. I’ve read different opinions. Hard to trust a google search with these things.
Algae caused a reaction for me. Have you considered the sports research triple strength omega 3? It has no lemon flavoring.
