To LINDA who responded to this question just previous to my answer here, yes, it makes sense in the larger context because it's clear what Ma L. Kim is trying to say. It just isn't grammatically sound and it suggests that maybe, English is not the poster's first language? If so, all forgivable acts since the question is valid. "I think the seller should tell us where they get their seaweed because of the nuclear accident in Japan, we should all beware." Either way, you get my gist Linda. Ma L. Kim made a good point that I can agree with.

It dint say anything about what kind of chlorella it is, but Im worry because they put a paper in the bottle that say "this product contains a chemical known to the state of california to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm" thats strange because it didnt have any chemical in the label.

Previous info on this product said IT WAS WATERED WITH SEA WATER FROM THE PACIFIC offthe coast of Hawaii. That would be in direct down hill flow from Fukushima, if true.

Grown in Tawain, processed in Japan, I think. They have a website...maybe check it.

Chlorella comes primarily from Japan, or from Korea or Taiwan. It is also produced in China but has been found to be highly contaminated. You would need to call the supplement company for more specific information.

Hello, I'm sorry but not at my residence at present; I believe the spirulina is from the U.S., but cannot be sure without reviewing the packaging. Perhaps Starwest can help?

I would be lying if I told you the manufacturer said it was ok. I imagine some type of heat process was used to make Proden. A quick Google search revealed that seaweed is indeed used in baked goods but some health food dietitians claim it kills the beneficial enzymes. I would experiment and see what happens, the seaweed in Proden works internally so why not?

No, it's not fishy. You may want to try Wakame seaweed as it is the fishiest.

You conduct research by doing a search on google as follows, " Is tea grown near Fukushima?" . You learn very interesting details on the subject. Tea only grows in specifics climates and tempetures. Fukushima is to cold to grow tea. Also it'll help you to look at a map of Japan. Itll give you a visual perspective on where in Japan tea growers cultivate tea. Most have cultivate tea in those same regions for hundreds of years. There are three main place in Japan where tea in grown. Shizuoka, Kagoushima, and Uji are the most vommon places. Kagoushima for example in located on one of the Japanese islands over a thousand miles away. I couldnt for the life of me find the company website though, however i do know tea isnt grown in or around Fukushima. Continue researching on where tea is grown in Japan, along with some of the locations ive provided. And if its intrigues you then why not research where tea is grown around the world. Its pretty cool if you love tea that much and where all you foods are grown and its content. Good luck on your shopping decision making. I honestly i have no complaints on this product.

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.

Wouldn't want to buy any from Japan because of the radiation but buying anything from China is just as bad or worst as everything from China is making us sick, if you ask me they are poisioning everything there in China you need to find another source that is safe

There's an individual that's pretty consistent in commenting to the comments of others in regards to Matcha products and they say: "...just make sure you're not purchasing Matcha teas affected by the radiation fallout in Japan--which means avoiding ALL tea from the Shizuoka Prefecture region. The two brands that I know ARE safe are DoMatcha and Pure Matcha (there are others, but these are the two that I know of--not to mention they are high quality). They come from a region of Japan far away from ground zero. They are from Kagoshima, which is as far west from Fukushima as Denver is from New York. Also, the air currents go the opposite direction, which is why radiation has not been detected in those areas. Just thought you should know. :)"

Thanks so much GW for posting this. Although we have already posted this a few times before on our reviews section and in response to some of the questions posted here, we are re-posting this for everyone's convenience. The home of our Organic Matcha - both Culinary and Ceremonial - is now located in Shizuoka, Japan, within a tea region recognized by the United Nations as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Harvested from a family-run tea farm in operation since 1915. Our farm has been certified organic since 2000, synthetic chemical free since 1994, and reduced chemical usage since 1975. Now you can enjoy great quality Matcha from the place it all began - Japan. Thanks again for posting. Unfortunately, there is no way to attach a file here. Once we've created a link to access our Radiation Test, Metal Test, and Organic Certification, we'll once again post them here. But please do email ashley@kissmeorganics.com if you have further concerns. Best, Ashley Evans KissMeOrganics

Seaweed comes from all oceans in the entire world. Wakame grows especially well in cooler oceans and less well in warm, tropical oceans. The beneficial marine antioxidant mineral, iodine, is especially high in kombu (kelp), arame (kelp), mozuku (kelp), and limu moui (kelp). Iodine is moderately high in wakame and mekabu (wakame). Iodine is lowest in nori (laver), ogo (limu), and dulse. All seaweeds are higher in iodine than fish and shellfish. All fish and shellfish are higher in iodine than land-source foods. Iodine deficiency is common only in the Great Lakes states of the United States because they are farthest from the ocean. People who live within 500 miles from the ocean almost never develop an iodine deficiency. The reason is that iodine gas, which is excreted by underwater kelp beds, is blown in toward the land by the prevailing winds. If you want to eat more iodine, then just eat your seaweeds raw. If you want much less iodine than the seaweeds contain, then simply boil your seaweeds for at least 10 to 15 minutes and about 90% of the iodine in the seaweed will go into the delicious seaweed soup, which you can throw away together with the salt, which causes cancer, high blood pressure, stroke, kidney disease, and osteoporosis. Some experts believe that vanadium, which is plentiful only in seaweeds, fish, and shellfish, should also be classified as a beneficial marine antioxidant mineral together with iodine. Zinc, selenium, and iodine are widely regarded as the 3 beneficial antioxidant minerals. However, compared to marine life, terrestrial (land) life requires only a small trace of vanadium. Although it is not an antioxidant, magnesium is the most beneficial mineral overall because it has been shown to strongly prevent sudden cardiac deaths (heart attacks) in humans. Meanwhile, iron, copper, manganese, and aluminum are pro-oxidant minerals, which if consumed in excess, will damage every cell in our bodies.

I would strongly doubt it... look into iodine materials and Japanes diet things they have done. Check Dr. Mark Sircus materials, too.

I am curious myself; went to Viva's website, as well as doing a google search, but found nothing. They have a phone #: 800-921-8482. I have yet to call, but have been using the product for over a year with positive results. (My biggest concern for "anything" coming out of Hawaii is radiation from Fukushima. I live in CA--the Bay area--and have, sadly, stopped eating local seafood. The media here gives zero radiation info. Also, UC Berkeley stopped posting air/water radiation levels just one month after the tsunami. They had been posting their readings for over 20 years...and suddenly stopped.)
