I did some more research and looks like there's very little to no mercury in supplements due to the process when they're made. Just to be safe anyway I bought a prenatal that's combined with DHA/EPA at a fairly low dose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-omega-supplements-safe#post-2546733 Wed, 11 May 2016 19:47:12 +0000 skipra 2546733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are worried you could try vegan dha. I have been taking these. There are some others on Amazon too.<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Potent-Organic-Supplement-Essential-Vitamin/dp/B00QCR00SW?ie=UTF8&#038;keywords=Vegan%20dha&#038;qid=1463013913&#038;ref_=sr_1_3_a_it&#038;sr=8-3" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Potent-Organic-Supplement-Essential-Vitamin/dp/B00QCR00SW?ie=UTF8&#038;keywords=Vegan%20dha&#038;qid=1463013913&#038;ref_=sr_1_3_a_it&#038;sr=8-3</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-omega-supplements-safe#post-2546657 Wed, 11 May 2016 17:34:50 +0000 macintosh 2546657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took fish oil from Trader Joes throughout my pregnancy. No issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-these-omega-supplements-safe#post-2546618 Wed, 11 May 2016 16:20:33 +0000 Goldengirl 2546618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked my doc today if it would be okay to take an omega/DHA supplement since I'm not eating a lot of fish and she said it's fine. I went to the drugstore but then noticed that all the supplements seem to have mackerel listed as one of the fish sources. I got freaked out and didn't buy any! I thought mackerel was on the high mercury list? Or is that only king mackerel? And does it have the same mercury levels in a pill form? Anyone else taking these supplements? </p>
