FDA upper level for mercury (methyl mercury which is only a small part of total mercury) = 1 mcg/g per day, we are at only 6% of that per day for a full serving (2 softgels). for reference a can of albacore tuna (6 ounces) is roughly 35% of your daily limit (so a serving of orange oximega fish oil only has 17% of the mercury found in a can of tuna)

Mercury Levels in Commercial Fish and Shellfish

the amount per serving is also only 20% of the strictest California proposition 65 level of .3 mcg per day (of methyl mercury, again only a small part of total mercury)

The Adequate Intake (AI) levels for chromium, set in 2001 by the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences is 20-35 mcg per day so each serving of Orange Oximega Fish Oil provides roughly 25% of that intake (roughly as much as 1 cup of romaine lettuce). chromium has been found to be safe in the multiple 100s of mcg per day

The other heavy metals/toxins were below the detectable limits :)

our pleasure, we know mercury is a hot issue in fish, and we have been getting a lot of inquiries, so we are posting a 3rd party test.

thanks, yeah there are a ton of lawyers using the cali prop 65 to sue companies since these levels are very strict.

yeah, tuna is actually one of the better fish (the smaller ones are even better), but some have a scary amount of metals like swordfish.

this is one of the reasons I bought this. Many are not tested.

I have heard that mercury really isnt as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be when consuming fish or fish oils. Mainly because many fish have high levels of selenium, which takes the mercury "repackages" it and disposes it from the body. Is this wrong?
