Reply With QuoteIt's sad that mercury is such an issue, but I believe that molecullarly distilled fish oil has virtually no mercury in it. Also, certain kinds of fish contain much higher levels of mercury than others.

Fish Oil toxins
I was working with this women this past week. I was telling her about how I take fish oils capsules. She had read bad things about the toxins stored in the fats. She sent me this today. Check it out. Comments.
While there is no doubt about the beneficial effects of omega 3 fatty acids in your diet, this article seems to suggest that reduced rates of morbidity from cardiovascular disease as a result of consuming fish oil may be offset by morbidity due to the toxins in the oil.

I don't want to be too alarmist, but a quick survey of the literature suggests that my fears about mercury and dioxin levels in fish oil were not unfounded. However it seems it is possible with a little research to find sources with lower levels of toxins. Those may from fish bodies rather than livers and from fish lower on the food chain, because as I was explaining toxins are stored in fat. So in simple terms, the more carnivorous fish another carnivorous fish has eaten the more cumulative the levels of mercury, dioxin and POP's. are .

Thanks for everything last week. I had a lot of fun. Hope to see you in Boston.

Fish oils are generally tested for mercury etc and are not allowed on the market if they fail. Originally Posted by Doublebase

I can't find any info on my brand. Should I continue using it? I get a good deal on my brand so I would prefer to stick with it.

I am 99% sure it would be fine... If you are overly concerned - contact the manufacturer. Originally Posted by Doublebase

I know you are very knowledgable about this stuff. How can you be so sure that the levels of mercury are not harmful? Originally Posted by Emma-Leigh

Some of the better sources are free of mercury and it may be good to choose an organic source for fish oil supplements.
A possible good alternative is a flax oil blend to get the necessary Omegas. One such option to check out is Udos Choice Oil Blend which offers a good organic source oil blend.
Hope this info helps
