Utah's great salt lake has high levels of toxic mercury. is there mercury in this product?

I just read that while mercury levels in the lake went down between 2010 and 2015 they started to rise again last year - here is the article: https://www.ksl.com/?sid=44113404&nid=1012 I wonder if the manufacturer could not simply find another source to be safe? Or provide an answer here to confirm the product has been tested and is safe?

is this product high in Mercury?

This is a question/concern many people have, and so it is important to understand how trace minerals work to understand why we have trace amounts of mercury in the product. First off, toxicity often occurs when a single element is introduced out of balance with other trace minerals. Man-made by-products are, all too often, the culprits of this because they are found in much higher doses than nature would have them. For instance, mercury contamination of our oceans has created a situation where the fish we consume from the very oceans we have contaminated contain much higher mercury levels than nature would normally have them contain. Most forms of life are not very good at expelling mercury so they tend to accumulate and concentrate mercury that they consume. If plankton consumes sea water over its life, it will tend to accumulate any mercury from the sea water and, thus, the mercury in the plankton will typically be higher than levels that are found in the sea water. When a fish eats the plankton over its life, it tends to accumulate mercury from the plankton and, thus, the fish will typically have higher levels of mercury than the plankton. As this paradigm continues upwards through the food chain, mercury levels tend to increase. The balance of trace minerals has been disrupted, and and as a result, there is now concern over human consumption of fish and the risk of mercury contamination. The amount of Mercury found in the Mega-Mag is 0.008 parts per million (ppm). To put this into perspective, in a baked potato or a lean grilled chicken breast you get 0.4 ppms, and in a strawberry, you get 0.6 ppms of Mercury. Remember the Mercury found in the product is naturally occurring and as such, is in similar amounts to that which is found naturally existing in many of the foods we consume.For over 35 years Trace Minerals Research® has been providing high quality nutritional supplements to the Natural Products Industry.

How do you use this product?

Hi,I dilute the product in water. I started with one pipette and took it with my breakfast. I tried before bed, the same way and observed It helped me sleeping. I was more relax and slept better.After a period of a month, I went to 2 pipettes per take. But I observed if I do 1 pipette in the morning and one at night I get more benefits from it.For me It works great. Hope it helps.

How many servings per bottle?

I purchased the 4 fluid ounce bottle 400 mg; on the bottle it has serving size 0.8 teaspoon with 30 servings per container. I haven't use it all, but the 30 servings seems like a conservative estimate unless you add more to your daily intake. I quit taking it since I did not like the taste, but another person recommended rubbing onto the skin to absorb it that way into the body. I am taking another magnesium supplement at this time. Hope this helps!
