Has an analysis been done to find out how much lead is contained in this bentonite? If there is lead, can you reveal how much lead it has?

There is no lead in this product. Any prop 65 warnings you see are because the state in which the product is made has laws concerning notices about lead. You might notice it on buildings in states like CA, as well. The product is lead-free. The state is over-zealous on labeling.

I'm sorry, Annie; I cannot answer that question. I checked the bottles that I have and there is no information on them that indicates whether or not it contains lead. I do have the Libbey address, phone number and email that I can pass on to you. It's: Libbey Store Attn: Megan Forrester, Manager 205 South Erie Street Toledo, OH 43604 Phone: 888-794-8469 Email: Libbeystore@libbey.com Hope this helps! Judy

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.

There should be a scoop buried in the powder in the container. I ran out of the powder so I can't measure how much is in a scoop. I use 1/2 of what they say.

After writing this feedback I contacted the person who has the distribution in Latin America, and this was her reply. I hope it helps.. Thanks for reaching out to us and sorry for the concern our box warning may have caused. I'm not sure if you have ever heard of prop 65, but here is a blog post that explains it in a little more detail: http://www.redmondclay.com/prop65/. Although there is a varying amount of natural lead many of the foods we eat, and we probably would not even need to have it on a toothpaste, we decided to error on the side of caution and put the label on the box. This is why some of the boxes contain the prop 65 warning and some others don't - yet. We plan to put it on all of them to avoid potential costly prop 65 lawsuits. As you will see in the ingredient list Redmond Clay is the base product for Earthpaste and this type of clay has a lot of elements and minerals in it in varying amounts. Here is an elemental analysis of the clay so you can see everything it has: http://www.redmondtrading.com/pdfs/RedmondClay_MineralAnalysis.pdf. Most clay experts agree that the "harmful" metals in clay are not bioavailable or absorbable by the body because of the way they are attached to the clay, but we can appreciate your concern. Knowing the properties of clay many peopletake clay as a daily supplement and many books have been written on the properties of this type of clay even with the elemental profile of the clay. Here is another link that talks about the aluminum in clay and contains other links on the subject. http://www.redmondclay.com/2012/what-about-the-aluminum-in-redmond-clay/.

My container doesn't look exactly like the one pictured. Looking at the ingredients, no indication of lead. If there is lead in this product, I am not aware of it.

No, the bentonite removes toxic metals out of your body, like aluminum, lead, mercury, etc...you should not use a metal spoon --use a glass jar and plastic Tablespoon measure --use a non-metal lid on the glass jar--I add psyllium also and shake it up and drink it down...I do this every other day for maintenance...initially I drank the mixture 2x a day, just eating salads 2-3 times a day to cleanse my system....hope that helps!

Hi I don't know the mineral content, not certain if their customer service will be responsive. I tried to return a 'recalled' case of the Essentia water and customer service refused to honor my request. They tried to talk me out of it!

No mention of lead in the user manual, but ceramic pots "might" contain lead. Visit this link and decide for yourself. http://tinyurl.com/bp9eqg2

I am trying to find out if this can be taken internally? Is this also sodium bentonite?

I don't know whether it is exactly lead-free. You would need a lab test for this answer if you don't trust the seller.

Lead,arsenic,ebola,asbestos......Just kidding...I have no idea but finding 100% pure most likely isn't possible.

Item description does not say lead free it states lead safe. I cannot comment on the level of lead if any but I do feel it is safe to use to water a garden.

I use it with Organic India Psyllium Husks to help flush out. The bentonite be sure to mix only with plastic spoon and no metal.

According to the rear of the package, there is an International symbol (trash can with an "X" through it) meaning dispose of properly and beneath it are the symbols for both Mercury (Hg) and Lead (Pb). So yes both of these elements are present, but it gives no indication of how much of each.

There was no name on them. Someone asked if they contain lead. I never even thought of that.If you find out please email me. Thanks

While I have not seen any test results, I have no reason to think that it contains lead. The label lists the ingredients and does not report any lead.
