you can test it yourself, go buy a kit for $18 online.. Also has Amazing grass and other brands that claim to be American been tested, even though when you read where they are manufactured, it's in CHina. So many ignorant people jump to conclusions. Like I'm jumping to conclusions your are overweight and not in shape and older looking than you are, but in my case I'm right. :-)

Where are these from? Country of origin, & are the nuts tested by a 3rd party to test quality, organic standards, heavy metal contaminants, etc? Thank you

Yes, it is from China and yes it is tested for several heavy metals. I contacted the company and they sent their certificate of analysis of their Spirulina. I'll try to upload the attachment.

I have not heard anything about lead in turmeric. Good question...but should be addressed to Starwest Botanicals directly, I imagine. Thank you.

The specifications of this ascorbic acid is to contain no more than 10 ppm of heavy metals. This falls within the scope of FDA standards for USP grade and is a very small amount. Mercury is not tested for in the analysis but I have no reason to believe that there would be any mercury in the ascorbic acid at all. The majority of the heavy metals is actually copper. For specifics, check the Duda Energy main website and find the current COA on ascorbic acid.

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 think I remember reading somewhere that it does contain wheat. To be certain, I would contact Standard Process.

This simply is translated as 'organic wheatgrass' or biological wheatgrass. There's no real difference that I could see.

Funny you should mention that, Fred. 10 weeks ago: I completed an FDA/Biosciences grant application that posed that very question. Yesterday I received an additional form that requested the MSDS paperwork for Cucumis sativus including any varietals that may be part of the intended study. Curiously, an OSHA representative expressed interest in obtaining any results, should we move forward: stating that this would have material consequences on their Southern California field office procedures. She did advise me that if it were up to her, she would wear some kind of latex protective gear.

I don't know if it is wild caught or farm raised or been tested for heavy metals or if they have been filtered out. It doesn't say anything on the bottle. I have taken over half or a bottle and have had no bad things that I have noticed. I have been taking it for sore thumbs. I haven't had any bad effects that I have noticed. I do think my skin is some better.

I believe so. If you haven't tried wheat grass before, understand that it's REALLY STRONG tasting. I ended-up giving my canister away to someone else.
