Can anyone comment on the heavy metal content of NutriGold Bacopa? They claim the product if free of heavy metals, but proof of this would be nice.

I don't know about the heavy metals but I do know this product caused me severe stomach problems. I had to stop taking it.

I do not know anything about a heavy metal concern but I believe Bacopa comes from little white flowers which I have seen growing. I have been taking Bacopa for a number of years, this brand maybe for a year with no obvious difficulties.

There has been a lot of speculation that Bacopa produced in the US all comes from a place in California that is rumored to have been exposing the Bacopa to lead. I believe someone said that this particular Bacopa originates from India and is sold by a distributor in Texas. So that being said you should be fine. However, if you start feeling sick stop taking this immediately and contact your doctor.

I just saw it about ten down, third from the last. I got this because I was looking for something without aluminum. But I am glad I saw this question because in looking for this, I saw it has Triclosan which can affect the thyroid. Triclosan is in over 90% of the antibiotic hand washing liquid. I bought so much of the Arm & Hammer. Guess I will look for something safer. When will we become a government of the people, by the people and for the people instead of the corporations.

Lisa, Thank you for bringing this to our attention; after further investigation there was miscommunication between our marketing team and manufacturing partners. While our partners run a facility that produces organic and kosher supplements, the Garcinia Cambogia has not yet received full certification. We have taken steps to remove the reference and apologize for our mistake. If you purchased the product prior to 12/2/13 based on the premise of `organic', please reach out to us directly for a full refund. Thank you, John Alexander -Director, Customer Experience.

Dear Johnathan, Thank you for your interest in BodyBoost Colostrum. Please know that we only sell the highest quality and most natural product available. The raw colostrum from each dairy undergoes a testing protocol to assure it is from the first milking, free of antibiotics, pesticides and Bst's. We do not own the dairy farms but only deal with farmers that have excellent farming practices and very healthy cows. We asked the farmers to certify that pesticides and antibiotics are not part of their animals food supply and as well as Bst's and we verify this by testing the raw colostrum in our factory. We do not control the diets of these animals but our farmers need healthy cows to have a financially sound farm. The cows do graze most of the time but are fed a grain diet while they are being milked that is comprised of approximately 30% soybean meal with the balance being corn and oats. The cows need this to produce a healthy and good tasting milk. We purchase appox 14 liters out of the first milking of approx 18 liters, once a year from each cow that has a calf, which amounts to about one tenth of one percent of that cows milk. I am not aware of any dairy farmer that does not feed their cows grain during the milking process and the grain mixture used is based on research done by Universities that have Agricultural programs. Again I thank you for your interest hope this information allows you to enjoy the health benefits of BodyBoost Whole Colostrum. . Enjoy in good health, John

This comment bothers me as I ordered this as a friend has had great results from taking Moringa and I pray I get the same results without being bribed. Perhaps this seller needs to redo his advertising. I will let everyone know how it effects me. Thanks

I recently purchased Nature's Plus Spiru-tein Gold, Banana Berry Blast. I haven't even opened it yet because it is based on Chia Rice and Peas and I am prone to IBS (I'm wary of any product that is lentil based). I usually get the regular Spiru-tein high protein sans the peas, and I loved it. Anyway, according to the label on this can, even though Carbs is at 19g. under sugar it is 0. Mixed with milk it goes up to 11g of sugar. I cannot vouch for its validity, that is just what the label states. But, all in all Spiru-Tein is a wonderful product and a life saver on a busy day. I am mostly concerned with the vitamin and protein rating. Mostly, the protein rating! I recently purchased Nature's Plus Spiru-tein Gold, Banana Berry Blast.

I subscribe to consumer lab which is a website that investigates and tests supplements. So far, everything I've ever looked up regarding Nutrigold is positive and approved, meaning that after testing, their products are just as stated. BTW, I pay for my subscription to consumer lab and I am in NO WAY affiliated with Nutrigold. I just buy their products because they have an excellent track record are usually a pretty good price and I like how they are packaged. I don't know where the other commenter heard that Nutrigold "bribes" for good reviews...??? I don't know one way or the other whether that's true but I'm confident that when I buy their stuff, I'm getting what I paid for and that if they say there are no GMOs then I trust that.

Need to query Earth Circle Organics on that. Consumerlab.com recently reported on cacao products & found cadmium, a toxic metal, contamination in many of them. So be careful. If you consume this daily you might want to get their report.

I would like more information about the material it is made from also. people who use these bags and the producer are probably interested in health, so I'm sure they've researched what is a very safe material? Hopefully. It would be nice to share that information.

I doesn't claim to be on the packaging but that claim really doesn't hold much water in my opinion anyway. What does "natural" really mean these days, it's not regulated and anyone can put that on their label. When I read the ingredients, it all looks healthy to me. No artificial colors or flavors and no nasty preservatives that are not allowed on the Feingold program that my family follows.

Here is the manufacturer's statement in its entirety, from waterrightinc.com on its FAQ page, on June 26, 2014: "What does the recent www.healthychoice.com report on garden hose by Ecocenter.org mean? We spoke with Jeff Gearhart, the Research Director who was in charge of this study on 5-14-2013 and he supported our safety claim regarding our hose. He encouraged us to send anyone with concerns to their lab directly. http://www.healthystuff.org/contact.us.php Jeff Gearhart also recommends our polyurethane product and natural rubber hoses over other garden hoses in the industry. He specifically noted that the lead testing that is performed by their lab utilizes an x-ray devise which penetrates the chrome surface coating to determine the level of lead content in our brass. And yes, although there is lead inside the brass we use (which almost all brass fittings do and that we have always claimed), we specially plate our fittings with nickel and chrome to prevent our customers from coming in contact with any lead. An Independent lab called Bureau Veritas in Buffalo, NY, has also performed a surface coating test that shows our fittings meet drinking water safe applications. You will also be happy to know (based on our company's priorities to make only completely safe products), that we have been working on a producing a completely lead free fitting over the last 12 months (now that that brass alloy has recently become available by Chase Brass). The only unfortunate part of making this change is that the cost for lead-free brass is double the cost of regular 360 brass, which will possibly add between $4-5 retail to all of our hoses. Again, although we currently meet drinking water safe standards, it has been our top priority in 2013 to produce the safest garden hose in the industry. Water Right 100% lead-free fittings will be available by year end and will also be tested by a certified laboratory to ensure a completely lead and toxin free product. Jeff Thomas - President "

I used the product for couple of months for the iodine benefits. The taste wasnt very good, it was like ground, but i didnt mind it cause i cared about the iodine. However all changed when i recently received my results for the toxic metals exposure based on urine measurements with chelation agents (probably the best available test on planet earth). To my disbelief i had arsenic!? I am pretty health oriented and it first sounded impossible but when i looked at the list with potential arsenic exposures as provided in the test results, i saw the organic kelp was standing there....

Everything I've read says 2.5 mg of biperine is what is effective. That's what this product has. Personally, I'm sold on the quality of Nutrigold products. Their Turmeric, like many of their other products, is GMO free. That's a MAJOR factor in my opinion when we have Monsanto pushing all of their polluted grains like corn, soy and canola.

There is no warning or mention of lead anywhere on the label. It says it's grown organically in India on small family farms. Other than that, I can't vouch for it. There's a certain amount of trust involved in organic certified in another country. Do you know where the lead comes from?
