I have been using the Raw Protein for almost a year now and I really like it, but does it still contain heavy metals?

All Food contains some heavy metals it is naturally occurring in the soil You get more heavy metals breathing outside than you will in the protein The levels are safe and well below the limits If it was dangerous it would of been pulled from the shelf

I don't know why there would be heavy metals in the formula. I certainly don't see any listed as an ingredient. I take one pill per day but dosage should be instructed by the individual's physician.

not sure - think its isolated during the process but it's 78% pure pea protein- again, not sure what else is in there

It is a brown rice and hemp protein. No ground up animal bones or preservatives. Most importantly for me, no metals or arsenic.

It is indeed, there is a small amount of soy leitchen. But its the highest quality protein I have found.

Also I have tried many different kind of protein and with each one after research have realized that there are some problems with it such as too much metal in the protein or too much sugar or other issues. But just today have purchase a type of protein that is made from peas with no sugar and it's organic. Most important of all it cold processed. Once I receive it and try it then I do se research on it and figure out if it's truly the ultimate and superior.

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.

No it doesn't. The protein comes from quinoa, amaranth, peas and artichoke.

Mine was quite good. Never spoiled or smelled bad. I always put this one in whey protein.

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.

All raw turmeric is going to contain lead at some very small level (ie: parts per million) - the question should be, is there an unsafe amount? Starwest tests for heavy metals (you can see it listed here under laboratory analysis - http://www.starwest-botanicals.com/quality-control.html), so you should be fine, but I bet you can get more detailed information by contacting them directly.

No. I have asked the company many times, as they claim this is CLEAN protein in all of their marketing. Management at BulkSupplements is obviously not interested in the long term health of the consumer. I certainly look on milk and yogurt products for assurance of not being treated with growth hormones....and the same goes for any protein supplement which is 100% derived from dairy. Take a look at Jay Robb protein as a healthier alternative.

Mine has been open for a month with no ill effects. It's dry so I'm thinking it'll last a long time. If in doubt you could keep it refrigerated. I like the product for my protein shake. I get the PB flavor without all the calories. I also like that there are no added ingredients.

I found this on NOW university website: Q. Are your seaweed and algae products tested for heavy metals? A. Yes, every lot of seaweed and algae raw material passes state-of-the-art heavy metals testing to screen against potentially harmful levels of these toxic metals

Bev, Good question. Last week on Dr. Oz a segment on Protein supplements was examined utilizing results from ConsumerLab.com (subscription required to obtain information on tested products.) Consumer Lab found lead in some and missing ingredients or not what they advertised on websites and their product. Jay Robb was one of the good ones. I have used it for years. Six recipes are on the back of the bag which has a zip lock top. I have tried four of them and all were delicious. The ingredients are: cold-processed cross flow icrofiltered why protein isolate, natural flavor, cocoa powder (natural process), xanthan fum. lecithin (from non-GMO sunflower seeds) and stevia. Subscription to Consumer Lab is well worth it - a huge amount of testing and keeps companies on their toes including the bigger ones like Costco and the smaller ones too. The chief officer of CL's has been on OZ several times now and I believe it will keep companies improving their products. Be reassured the $$ spent on Jay Robb are worth every penny. Forgot to mention that on the back of the bag it offers they obtain their free whey rBgh from small farms throughout the world and when the supplies run short abroad they turn to high quality domestic raw materials as well. I hope this helps.

No protein. This is purified distilled water w nano sized(extremely small basically invisible to naked eye) particles of 99.9% pure silver. That's it. Liquid is clear and looks like normal water which it should. Internal and external use is fine. I generate my own silver water and can tell u its good stuff based on the silver metallic taste I have come to recognize from my stuff.
