What is the amount of mercury in fish oil pills and which ones don't contain mercury?
According to this article in the New York Times, there is no problem with mercury in fish oil. There is false information being spread by some companies selling more expensive fish oil. I am no expert. Read these two articles in related links below.AnswerYou need to get top quality products. Try a health food store.AnswerThe amount can vary, and in many cases, it is below the detectable levels. So the true answer is unknown. Use flax seed oil instead. There is no risk of mercury with it. The body transforms flax seed oil into omega-3.AnswerIn response to the above answer... Indeed the true answer is unknown.. although most studies have proven that chemicals (including mercury) are undetectable in the oils (due to the refining process). AS for substituting flax seed oil instead... this is interesting... I would only recommend this if you have fish allergies, or are vegan!To those of you who may be under the impression that the Omega 3 oils in flax seed oil are the same as the Omega 3 oils found in fish oil.... The answer is a resounding no!!! While the Omega-3 fats in flax seed oil and fish oil are related, they do have a different chemical makeup.There are three main types of fatty acids. EPA, DHA (Fish oil) and ALA (FLax seed oil). Flax seed oil vs fish oil is as simple as ALA vs EPA, DHA.It is harder for your body to get the Omega 3's out of the ALA fatty acids!There is no harm in taking both flax seed oil and fish oil, but if you're taking the supplements to get the benefits touted for Omega 3's, you'd probably be better off just taking the fish oil supplements.When taking fish oil supplements, make sure that the supplements you are taking are pharmaceutical grade fish oil. This will ensure that you're getting quality fish oil supplements without getting any nasty toxins left in the fish.In the battle of flax seed oil vs fish oil, both have their benefits, but fish oil definitely wins the battle.AnswerYes, I have read these reports, too. Tests on a number of fish oil supplements sold in the market reveal no harmful mercury levels. Most pharmaceutical grade fish oil supplements don't contain mercury or other lead contaminants. So if you want to take a fish oil supplement, pharmaceutical grade fish oil has the highest purity levels as well as the highest omega 3 potency. Don't settle for any other inferior grade fish oil supplement which may not contain mercury, but have a dangerous PCB content.

The majority of omega-3 fish oil supplements on the market are in softgel or capsule forms. These softgels and capsules contain or are derived from sources that are forbidden for Muslims. For instance, most of the gelatin softgels and capsules are made from pork by-products. I believe in the benefits of omega-3 fish oil and I have been taking fish oil supplements for many years. It is hard to find Halal Omega-3 fish oil supplements in stores. I buy the halal omega-3 fish oil from on-line company: Nutrition Enhancement. The company claims that their Omega-3 fish oil supplements are Halal certified.
Can you get mercury poisoning from fish oil capsules eating 6 a day?
First, you are to not exceed three 1000 mg gel caps per day of fish oil or flaxseed oil caps. Not six. Second, yes you can get mercury poisoning IF the capsules are contaminated. This is more likely if you purchase cheap, lower quality, generic brand capsules instead of a Name Brand product. It's just a buyer beware, Russian Roulette type of thing. bestalucktoyou, Mike
What is the difference between fish body oil with omega 3 supplements and flax seed supplements and does multivitamin supplements replace themand should you ask a doctor before taking them?
When it comes to a fish oil supplement, flaxseed oil supplements cannot replace them. The Omega 3 in fish oil is easy for your body to process, getting you the Omega 3 you need in order to function properly. Flaxseed oil supplements are not easy for your body to process, so the actual amount of Omega 3 you're receiving is questionable at best.
