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!

Interesting. I have not checked myself; but am about to return mine... They contain aspartame. Not happy with that!

I'm thinking they contain mercury. Here is a document I found online. http://www.zendergroup.org/docs/battery_household.pdf

you are saying that their website claims that their products contain levels of lead, cadmium and arsenic? I don't remember seeing that information on any website

well not all products from china is made for toxicate human health, so i guess you do not need to get over sensitive on the quality of chinese products, after alll being the largest manufacturer around the world chinese products are serving people all around the world, and not everyone worry about some mercury or lead rumors

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

By reading the label, it says each capsule has 200 mg magnesium. Otherwise I would contact the company for an in depth analysis. They're the ones who manufacture it!

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.

All products sold by NutriBiotic, in light of the fact that one or more of the chemicals identified on http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65.html may be present in such products, whether because it is found in the environment or otherwise. Nearly all foods contain certain levels of one or more of the following: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Ironically, the amounts established by Proposition 65 are less than what occurs naturally in numerous fruits, vegetables, and water. The Proposition 65 standards are so tough that the following natural products are in violation of Proposition 65: Yams, turnips, apples, tomatoes, artichokes, carrots, cucumbers, green beans, lettuce, spinach, potatoes, corn, and many, many more fruits and vegetables. For instance, carrots contain 12.80 micrograms of arsenic in a one cup serving; green beans contain 28.75 micrograms of lead in a one cup serving, 56 times the allowable limit! The limits established by Proposition 65 are as follows: Arsenic: 10 micrograms Cadmium: 4.1 micrograms Lead: 0.5 micrograms Mercury: 0.3 micrograms Vitamin products containing all natural ingredients are naturally going to contain these substances. Evidence indicates that any of the above that may be present is there only as a result of the environmental conditions in which vegetables are grown, and thus occur naturally in the products.

I have always used the capsules and found them to work really great. Hope this helps.

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

I don't know nor have I ever read or heard that ConcenTrace minerals were found to exceed permissible arsenic levels. Sine the FDA working in tantum and conspiring with Big Pharma to protect our health, I would think that if such a test (or a series of tests, or whatever, jeeze) that they would have already pulled the product for the sake of our health and the profit of Big Pharma, or something like that. Hope this helps!

I seriously hope not. And if there is, I don't think the manufacturer would be advertising that fact. Feel free to get them tested and I'll join in the class action lawsuit if you find lead (or chromium or uranium) in them!

Thanks for the info! I know spirulina from China has been reported to contain heavy metals and other contaminants.... scary. That's probably why this basic info. is not listed on the amazon listing and only people who are aware of the dangers bother to look this up. Read this article: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jun/30/the-human-cost-of-chinas-untold-soil-pollution-problem

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.

The website is: www.purealaskasalmon.com, you can click on "nutrition" and get some answers. There is some other useful stuff regarding mercury, etc. I was hoping they would have the label but they don't have the key part visible. There are 3 1/2 servings per can. Per serving: protein 13g, sodium 64 mg, calories 110, vitamin A 2% RDA, calcium 10%, iron 2%, sugars, fiber, carbs, trans fats, vitamin C ..... all zero, cholesterol 40mg (13%), total fat 6 grams (10%), saturated fat 1 gram (7 %).
