That I don't know. And because they fail to provide information I don't buy this brand anymore. Only bought it one time anyway. But I found another source that I do trust. http://store.naturalnews.com/Chlorella_c_51.html

I am an environmental specialist and I have been taking this product for about 1 year now. I get what you are saying about the metals. The only advice I can offer is to follow the directions and not drink it undiluted. The levels are safe when consuming a healthy diet that will help to expel any harmful toxins. I also take chlorella and bentonite clay which greatly helps to remove toxins and metals from the body. I hope very much this helps a little. If you still have questions ask your doctor. They might be able to answer more thoroughly. Also, I put this in my diy toothpaste and it has helped to remineralize my teeth.

Great question. I wasn't aware that it may contain lead. I'll be getting rid of it if that's true.

I worked in the hospital for many years, on the medical unit. That was the brand they always used and I felt it must be the best.I have been using it without any side effects. We know some off brands of medicine are contaminated with metals.

I'm sorry, I don't know if it's lead free or not. Unfortunately the packaging it came in did not have that information either. I was not aware that lead in that product could be a possibility. Thank you for the question.

To the best ofmy knowledge it is lead free. None of the instructions that come with it say anything about lead and there do not seem to be any lead parts, Hope this helps.

Hello Yuki,The Aquasana AQ-5300 filter system effectively removes mercury, lead, and asbestos. The company does not test for other heavy metals. The filters do not remove potassium, calcium, or magnesium. The system's carbon filter also removes many organic compounds, which are listed in their literature. Please see their web site for more details: http://www.aquasana.com/product_detail.php?product_id=51We like our filter, which we purchased to improve the flavor of our morning coffee. This system does not replace a water softener.Sincerely,Robert Ashton, MD, PhD Hello Yuki,The Aquasana AQ-5300 filter system effectively removes mercury, lead, and asbestos.

Even certified organic products can, and often do contain dangerous heavy metals like lead. See here: http://www.lowheavymetalsverified.org/ Or here: http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/whistleblower-who-found-poison-americas-food Or do a Google search for something like, "heavy metals in organic food" The problem is that heavy metal levels in food aren't regulated by either the FDA or the USDA. USDA organic certification doesn't include heavy metals certification or regulation. That isn't to say that non-organic products are any better. Also since a warning on the label is completely voluntary, I wouldn't equate the lack of a warning about lead to mean that it has any safer lead levels than products that contain a warning. On another Dr Oz clip which I cannot find on the internet, it was said that IN GENERAL, organic products grown in Canada and California are less likely to be contaminated with heavy metals than those that come from Asia. It's not about the organic certification being untrustworthy because the certification doesn't include heavy metal certification, it's more about how likely the land is to be contaminated with heavy metals in the first place. Land is contaminated through gasoline (the gasoline industry spread lead on most of the world's soil through leaded gasoline), batteries that everyone throws in the trash, paint that ends up dumped out or in trash, or painted surfaces leaching, etc. Heavy metals leach into the soil, then end up in water then migrate far and wide. That's why I think Canadian products are least likely to be contaminated. I reason that all that Canadian wilderness helps Canada in this regard. If there is a choice, I always buy Canadian Organic products now. Also they regulate heavy metals. Next choice, California, last choice Asia.

I don't know. I believe it is totally lead free though. They sell it at most auto parts stores.

Many electrical devices have such a warning if the device is made with lead or other heavy metals, even though it's only trace amounts as would be used in brass alloy or lead solder on electrical connections. No risk to the consumer.
