Question 1

Is the fish in this product responsibly caught and mercury free?

Accepted Answer

This is not a ridiculous question, this is a very good question.  I found this on the Carlson website: At Carlson, we ensure maximum freshness by managing our fish oils from sea to shelf. We source only the highest quality, deep, cold-water fish using traditional, sustainable methods, and all fish oil products are bottled or placed in soft gels with a touch of natural vitamin E to prevent oxidation. All Carlson fish oils are also tested by an FDA-registered laboratory for freshness, potency and purity, and 28 of our fish oils have received the highest 5-star rating from The International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) program.

Question 2

Why is amazon's price so much cheaper than on carlson lab website? is it a knock off? it's also $10 less here than at my local health food store.

Accepted Answer

No idea why the price is cheaper.  Ask the seller.

Question 3

Is this product mercury free?

Accepted Answer

I re-read the entire label around the bottle and there is NO mention of Mercury at all.  I can say , however, these gels work wonders for me.  I also noticed for the first time that they have been around for 50 years.  I can only assume that if there was anything adverse or NOT good for us in them, we would have been told by now.  I have been using these for approximately 10 years or so and was introduced to them by an eye physician.

Question 4

How large are these capsules?  Thank you!

Accepted Answer

BIG.  If you have trouble swallowing big pills/capsules these will be a problem for you.  Close to an inch long and over a quarter of an inch across.  They are not capsules, they are gels.
