Concern over mercury contamination in fish has persisted for years and continues today. Mercury can exist in different forms, but when exposed to certain microorganisms, such as bacteria, it can convert into a highly toxic compound called methylmercury.<\/p>\n Fish and shellfish accumulate methylmercury through their diets. As these species move up the food chain, concentrations of the compound increase. Not surprisingly, elevated methylmercury remains a persistent threat to the safety of the fish on our plates, and questions the purity of our omega-3 supplements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s essential to know that not all omega-3 supplements are created equal, especially regarding purity and quality. With so many omega-3 options, look out for these criteria when making your choice:<\/p>\n Studies show that fish oils processed to remove contaminants like mercury are safe and effective sources of omega-3 fatty acids, potentially providing a safer alternative to fish consumption. Make sure your omega-3 supplement reels in all you need for a pure and trusting product to support lifelong health.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There\u2019s no denying the benefits of eating fish.
