Depends on the brand and quality & how well regulated a manufacturer is.
Testing, ratings, government oversight..all factors..
Online brand search should bring some info up..

Not sure this is any better but I use this one.

You should look for ones that are tested for purity. Here's an example for the above :

Purity Reports for Zone OmegaRx Fish Oil & Polyphenols

Also the ratio of DHA/EPA is very important.. The link below is for Dr Barry Sears discussion of inflammation considering DHA & EPA ratios . he is one of the Dr's who has studied/published papers on inflammation and fish oil.


What Are the Real Differences Between EPA and DHA?

Thanks, I emailed the manufacturers to ask. However, from the research ive done it seems as if omega 3 capsules have either no or a negligible amount of mercury and that was a study done on over 30 brands so I'm guessing the brand I use is no different.
