What about all the heavy metals included in this product? I'm no expert, seems like it might have unsafe accumulation levels in your system over time.

Look into calcium bentonite clay for detoxing heavy metals if you are concerned .

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.

well not all products from china is made for toxicate human health, so i guess you do not need to get over sensitive on the quality of chinese products, after alll being the largest manufacturer around the world chinese products are serving people all around the world, and not everyone worry about some mercury or lead rumors

I have no idea. I am taking 5 drops per day to help my digestive system extract nutrients from my food. A beneficial side effect would be the removal of toxins. I believe it may help by scavenging free radicals. But I don't recall reading any claims that it can eliminate heavy metals. In honesty, I have not researched that, but I will continue taking the product because I feel healthier.

I eat lots of brown rice pretty much every day. I have been getting the generic stuff (which includes rice from all over the country) and did not rinse it. My doctor asked me to get tested for heavy metals because I had some symptoms suggesting heavy metal toxicity. My arsenic level "markedly exceeds the normal level." For this test, normal is less than 90. My level was 510. I'm buying rice grown in California or outside the US now. If you don't think arsenic is a big deal and choose to ignore the numerous studies on the subject, it's your life.

I can't answer that. Obviously it does not say it contains lead because that would be illegal. We've been drinking it non-religiously for 3 years or so and I have not succumb to lead poisoning. Are you worried about the arsenic content of rice? There are toxins in everything, take care of your liver and you should be fine. Look up studies on toxin contents of the deceased, both rich and poor are full of toxins when they die, they are just different ones from eating fresh fish (mercury) to heavy metals from canned foods. This stuff is a good, hypo allergenic protein powder. New car, new carpet, new things in general are way more toxic than rice. I can't answer that.

I emailed NutriCology and they sent me the information on CA Prop 65. This was very helpful in understanding about the naturally occuring lead and other metals. Feel Free to Contact them.

Its being reviewed for metals present like arsenic, mercury, lead etc that can damage your kidneys.

Because there's lead in this product. I just contacted the company and found this out. I will be sending mine back.

Heavy metals are listed as less than 0.005%, so I would say NO it does not include an unusually high level of heavy meals. Lead, cadmium and arsenic would not be listed separately, so you may want to look for independent testing source.

Check with producer at the source in India. Since the product is organic, unless there is soil contamination, product should be fine. So far, I find this product to be energizing which, if it were contaminated by heavy metals, I doubt would be the case.

Wow - I didn't read that article. I used the product almost every day for a while. I hope that's not true. I will try to find out more information. Thanks for the warning.

I seriously hope not. And if there is, I don't think the manufacturer would be advertising that fact. Feel free to get them tested and I'll join in the class action lawsuit if you find lead (or chromium or uranium) in them!

I was worried about lead too. I was just told a lot of glassware has lead, Cadmium or Barium Oxide so I am trying to change my dinnerware and glassware to something safe. Did you try contacting the company to see if their product is free of these items? thanks

I would be totally shocked if this powder contains lead or any other harmful ingredients. But I am not the producer. I would try checking with Amazon if you are concerned, they may give you the producer's name.

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 believe it used to contain a small amount of arsenic, but has since changed its formula to omit it. I found that somewhere on the internet when I did my research before buying.

I don't have the container anymore, but you can click on the contents on amazon, and you will see it's full of chemicals, which is why I won't use them anymore. I listed the contents for another person, look on the comments.
