A member asked:
Is it safe to give children with autism fish oil if it contains mercury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fish oil: Fish oil is very safe, if you make sure the company distills and purifies its products to be free of heavy metals like mercury and other contaminants. Research the companies. Nordic naturals, carlson's, omegabrite, vital choice, etc all are excellent companies whose processes assure good products.
