Where is the seaweed used in Absonutrix gathered from? Is it Pacific or Atlantic? If it is Pacific how can I be sure it is free of the radiation?

I emailed the company and they told me that it is sourced from the Atlantic. You can confirm it yourselves by emailing them.

Ocean water destroys radiation at a geometric rate , absolutely nothing to be alarmed or scared about!

I am quite sure this seaweed is of Pacific Ocean origin and there is no reason to have concern for radiation effects on it.

Go online to now supplements and ask them. I have a lot of trust in their products. But if they are sourcing it from the Pacific ocean I would worry about more than arsenic.After the Japanese meltdown there is probably a lot to consider. Thanks for asking the question.

Nutrex Hawaiian Spirulina comes from the Kona coast of Hawaii (big island). It is grown in pristine conditions using natural sunlight, pure deep ocean water, and 100% fresh water drawn from natural aquifiers. This product is safe and pure and superior quality. No pesticides or herbicides are used. It is not genetically modified. It is a wonderful product and I love it.

I believe algae is the type of organizm, possibly related to kelp. I found more at: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algae>;

I don't know. The label says "environmentally controlled ponds." Call 1-800-9NATURE or visit www.naturesway.com and ask. Japan's chlorella market seems to have collapsed since the disaster. All commercial chlorella comes from China, Taiwan, Korea or Japan. More research might be necessary to find out the "cleanest" source.

The package I have says distributed by Natural Zing, LLC in Maryland, and Product of India. Also says raw, organic. I've taken half of my second package of 1,000 count, 500 mg tablets and I'm still alive. :) They also have Hawaiian spirulina powder which I have not used because I prefer tablets. Their website (www.naturalzing.com) says this about it. Hawaiian Grown Spirulina (Ocean Water Grown, Raw) 5 oz [nutrexs] $19.95 100% Hawaiian Spirulina. Spirulina (Raw, Vegetarian, ocean water grown) - Small Size, 5 oz. powder. Dietary Supplement. Spiralina, a blue-green algae is grown in ponds filled with diluted ocean water drawn from a pipeline that plunges 2000 feet into the sea. Oceanographers state that this water has been below the surface since Old Testament times. This pipeline brings this ultra-pure water to supplement the Spirulina's growing environment. No other Spirulina is grown with such a great source of natural hydroponics. This allows the plant to reach its maximum mature capacity. A cool ocean breeze drying method protects quality. This product is packaged in brown glass with oxygen absorbers and sealing caps to protect it, resulting in a high level of quality when you receive it. This Hawaiian Spirulina delivers. Spirulina can be important for anyone needing additional nourishment including dieters, athletes, convalescents and the elderly. Just 3 grams will help supply greatness lacking in most of our diets.* Net wt.: 5 oz powder. Dietary Supplement. My orders have been filled very fast and the packaging and product inside appear to be of the highest quality.

The label does not say, but I'm pretty sure it is sourced from Maine Coast Sea Veg brand, which would make it laminaria digitata.

That's a difficult question, you may have to ask World Organics. The label states: purified water, Decoction of Atlantic kelp (fecus vesiculosis) if I'm reading the fine print correctly.

I also take Chlorella and was considering it for my dog. However, since my brand, and this one, is made in Japan, I am now very leery of using any products from Japan. We all know about the radiation fall out and the fact that they have not yet seemed to have truly contained such. Never mind that people think it is contained to the ocean- we are talking hundreds/thousands of tons dumped non-stop....and there is always a trickle down effect to an event like this. While the Ocean( sea life & sea food) is one problem to be concerned over, various areas in Japan are contaminated from what tragically happened and will remain so, past our lifetime. China puts out products( for our companies who stupidly outsource to them)of inferior quality because they disregard the company standards they are given. I am sad to say to say that with Japan I have a choice;but with hardly anything made in American anymore- with China- we don't have much choice in our buying decisions on way too many things.

as far as I can tell from using spirulina before it is from China as it is very dark. California product is a very light green. As far as the testing I can't be sure. Something the company would have to answer.

Package indicates the algae is from a clean pure source ( Kalmuth Lake ?) Believe that an element of trust may be necessary on any supplement product and to deal with a manufacturer one does trust is essential. I use this supplement in my protein shakes along with fruit. I am pleased hope that helps.

I cannot say with certainty where this product came from, because I was not present at time of packaging, but it is produced from the Sea of Japan. I am also uncertain if the maker of this product farms the nori in treated sea water or not. I cannot find additional information on the net about possible mercury contamination, so I am consuming this brand of Nori in moderation (as recommended with all edible products from our oceans)I do taste a difference in this brand from local store bought, and it very pleasant. I hope this information helps. I am a bit cautious buying from overseas, but feel comfortable with this brand.Most sincerely.

I no longer have the container so I cannot check the label. It is my understanding that most krill are harvested from the Antarctic Ocean. You could check the manufacturer's website or email/call them.

This is one of the purest you can get. They may use a small amount of something non-toxic as binder if you get the tablets, but it is low enough that is isn't even listed. If you want it without even a bit of binder, get the powder. I have used this chlorella for years. I was extremely anemic after years of bleeding. Drs got nowhere. I restarted my chlorella, and was out of anemia in record time. It is the only chlorella I use. After Fukushima, one has to be very careful. I know they run tests on everything.
