I'd like to know about the mercury content of these pills.

Ho, boy, that is a complicated issue. First, each batch of oil may vary in mercury content. The only way to be sure is to hope that your brand reports its test results for every batch. Notice I said the company reports on their internal test results. Depending on the company, they may (or may not) be using a method that consistently removes mercury to safe levels. That said, I do have a link to an article where some independent (???) researchers measured mercury levels in 5 national brands. Kirkland was one of 3 with zero detectable levels. See http://www.archivesofpathology.org/doi/full/10.1043/1543-2165%282003%29127%3C1603:MOMLIC%3E2.0.CO;2

According to the manfacturer State-of-the-art molecular distillation is used to remove PCBs and dioxins which guarantees purity and potency. Mercury levels are undetectable, less than 0.1 parts per million. I switched from this to Triglyceride Omega-3 Gold because it has a higher content of EPA and DHA which are the ingredients that lower triglycerides. This matches the amount of fish oil in the prescription drug Lovaza.

I don't know about the heavy metals but I do know this product caused me severe stomach problems. I had to stop taking it.

Hi Cody, I can't speak to the purity question. As for the color, I can say that the pills are brownish.

I don't know but they are not what I would consider a small pill. They are capsules.

I looked on the label- it said nothing. Of course, if there were mercury in it, I doubt they'd put it on the label. .. isn't it awful that you even have to wonder??

Its been a while since I took them last but I believe they where the average gram sized capsules.

I have never really taken these supplements since I had bought them for a friend in South America who requested them since she said they were really good supplements, sorry I couldn't answer your question.

The label says "PCB and Mercury Free". Here is the producer's website http://www.naturesway.com/Products/Essential-Fatty-Acids-EFAs/15682-EfaGold-Mega-DHA.aspx

Go to the Douglas Labs site. The Nutrition information on the label is long.

Sorry, I can't answer on the mercury free. I thought all batteries contained mercury. I put them in my charger every night and they last the day. I replace them sometime getting close to a year from when I purchase them. I've always used them and like them. Much less expensive than the regular batteries.

I do believe the box reads as follows: 1000 meg of Vitamin B12, and 200 meg of Selenium. If one needs further information, one may google the actual product, via the brand name, which will bring forth more detailed results regarding this particular brand and product.

A third party has tested for mercury:https://labdoor.com/review/nordic-naturals-babys-dha

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!

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!

I emailed NutriCology and they sent me the information on CA Prop 65. This was very helpful in understanding about the naturally occuring lead and other metals. Feel Free to Contact them.
