Purchasing Omega 3 in Italy

I live in New York City. A friend in a small town in Tuscany has asked me to bring her Omega 3 capsules, however I travel with a carry-on only and these capsules are liquid (oil) and may not be brought onboard a flight. In Florence or Rome are they easily available in health food stores or pharmacies, so I can pick up a supply there to bring with me?

Hi Poetess, There is a top-quality omega-3 available in Italy. It is absolutely great stuff and ships from within the EU. You can check it out here:

Hope this helps. I use it and love it.

I haven't checked directly, but I am sure most pharmacies in Italy will have them, although they will always be more expensive then in USA because of the monopoly enjoyed by the Italian Farmacie. I buy all of my supplements on-line from USA and have someone mail them to me.

Thank you so much PalenQ, NaturalHealthEd and Sampaguita!. I am relieved that I won't have to make room for several bottles in my small carry-on from NYC to several cities in Italy before I reach my friend's house.
