The need to eliminate sulfites arises from the adverse reactions and sensitivities that most people experience when exposed to these compounds. Sulfites, commonly found in wines, can trigger symptoms such as headaches, facial flushing, IBS, nausea, and even respiratory issues like shortness of breath and wheezing. These reactions are often mistaken for hangovers. As sensitivity to sulfites varies among individuals, eliminating or reducing sulfites with SO2GO wine preservative remover helps prevent these uncomfortable and sometimes severe symptoms caused by sensitivities.
