Does anyone know if these capsules contain unacceptable levels of mercury?

I do not know. The website of the manufacturer (Greenpasture) has a page with their analysis of the product for several nutrients. I do not know if mercury levels appear there. The best would be to ask the manufacturer by phone or email if that product has been recently analyzed for mercury or other toxic metals such as lead, nickel, cadmium. Other option is to take the bottle of pills to a USDA laboratory and check if they can analyze the product by free or by a fee. Please let me know if you get a response to my email sheila092001@yahoo.com. That is a very interesting question to know an answer!

Potassium Iodide 225 mcg 150% of daily. Other ingredients hypo-allergenic plant fiber, vegetable capsule. I see nothing about mercury or bromine. I did some research on this company and they seem to have the purest products on the market for the money. I got these as back-up for radiation poison.

Yes, the fish oil pills are tested for PCB and mercury. And, they are guaranteed to be within Proposition 65 limits. PacificCoast NutriLabs

Louise, I didn't know the answer to your questions so I called the company. The woman I talked to sounded a bit horrified when I asked if their products contained mercury. Her response was "Absolutely not!" She went on to add it does not contain gluten, dairy products, soy, or animal products either. Everything is made here in the US. I'm glad you asked, because I learned something as well.

I believe that this product is all natural. It has no additives, chemicals, or GMO. That would also lead me to believe that it does not contain any leads or metals such as mercury. I hope that this helps.

Mine were capsules too. And I'm not a fan. The capsule has a much stronger fishy taste.

No. The packaging indicates that they contain both mercury and lead, and that they should not be disposed of with regular trash.

No information on mercury. I put them in the charger at bedtime. I have never had them run down, even in an 18 hour day

The ingredients listed on the bottle states "100% Pure Magnesium Chloride Brine from the Ancient Zechstein Seabed in the Netherlands." We have been using this oil for a while and feel fine...NO symptoms of mercury poisoning whatsoever.

No, they do not have mercury, but the new bulbs that you have to buy do have a slight amount of mercury.

There is nothing on the label saying it contains lead or mercury. It does says it complies with all standards from the US FCC.

Some capsules are made of gelatin, an animal product, which would be unacceptable to vegetarians/vegans. Apparently these capsules are made from plant materials only.

All nutritional supplements in California contain this warning due to Prop 65. I would not worry about it, because ALL supplements say this.

No. I had problems with receiving damaged/dented cans that had lost their seal and had to be thrown out. Also, white albacore tuna has the higher mercury content than most fish (because they are higher on the food chain; eating other fish that have mercury in them from environmental pollution. If you eat a lot of tuna, you might want to have yourself tested for mercury.

The only possibility of that would be in the capsule itself. I would check with the manufacturer for that.
