What are heavy metals and PCBs and are they present in Optimum Omega 3s?
Heavy metals are contaminants like arsenic, cadmium, mercury, etc.PCBs are compounds called polychlorinated biphenyls which are toxins and classified as persistent organic pollutants. Optimum Omega 3’s are free of heavy metals and contain levels of PCBs below the 90ng allowed in California without a cancer warning.We can insure that claim because of a number of precautions that we take into account. The first reason has to do with the fish we use in our product. Real Natural Remedies uses wild caught sardines and anchovies from the deep waters off the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. These fish are generally considered to be desirable, as the potential contaminants often found in larger fish have not had the time or ability to concentrate as they move up the food chain. Heavy metals are typically found in larger fish like Cod, Tuna, Grouper, and Bluefish.Fish that have been found to contain heavy metals or PCB’s are usually farm raised fish. Again, we use wild caught fish. The raw material
