Yes, we test all of our Amla powder batches for heavy metal contamination, pesticide residues, molds and pathogens, and purity.

None that I detected mixing the entire bottle with 16 gal of water and using a pull behind chemical sprayer and putting down 2 gal per minute.

Ed jones beat me to it with his response. The type of water filtered varies in the field every time. In a lab, not very useful. But I agree with you there should be some type of standard test. Maybe there is?

Not stamped on bottle. It's stainless steel inside, so I don't think contaminated in production. It may have been printed on accompanying product info., but don't recall.

This did not come with a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), which would include a breakdown of chemical contents, large and small. If I had to guess, I might say distilled water. It may actually be higher than a 99% concentration, but the manufacturer is guaranteeing 99%. Often in the refinement process, price depends on purity. These didn't cost much. This is NOT laboratory grade. I use iso in an electro-mechanical service operation. It has an advantage over ethyl alcohol, as in sold in the paint section at Home Depot, because there are no additives to make it poisonous.

The cultivation ponds of organic and premium products are located in the same areas and use the same source of spring water. So both organic and premium products are free from heavy metal contamination, pollution, chemicals, pesticides and herbicides. The quality control systems are the same for both of them. We therefor can offer you the highest quality product at a price that the average person can afford. At least that is our goal.

I am not sure about that, however with their statement "Our food products are NOT Irradiated", I would think that they were not treated with harmful pesticides.

DonnaD is correct in that it doesn't say it's organic or pesticide free. I had contacted the manufacturer with that question and here was their answer: All Doctor's Best products are manufactured to FDA cGMP standards and conditions precluding the possibility of pesticide contamination. Furthermore, we have no reason to believe pesticides would be introduced into the manufacturing process at any point. As such, it is reasonable to expect no pesticides exist and therefore no tests are conducted to deny their existence. Doctor's Best conducts extensive testing on its products to insure safety and purity on both its raw materials and finished goods and to assure the highest quality supplement at an affordable price.

Hi, Gretchen. As Allan said, they are tested and certified as pure and potent by the NSF guidelines. Vital Choice products, all of them, are clean. They even test regularly (like all good fish companies should) for radiation levels, especially since the Fukushima event. Vital Choice wild salmon oil is the gold standard.

As a chemist I would not count on these as being reasonably pure. I use them as an alternative to lead as weights of high density. You may be able to approach an industrial manufacturer for some samples.

Devorah, I will have to check the bottle. As far as I know about Kosher certifications, it should be clean.

We do not have access to this such nfrmation. Any time you need certification of toxins you MUST contact the manufacturer direct .

I just got off the phone with BUN. I was told what someone else has also posted. The bleach method is chlorine free-wouldn't say more specific than that-and they are regularly testing to verify there is no detectable level of dioxin in the paper stock.

99.995 % of it is guaranteed to be Dimethylsulfoxide. The other 0.005% is either unknown contamination from the manufacturing process or the test used to determine purity can only verify to the grade. I choose this product because its stored in cobalt blue glass rather then plastic which the solvent would eat away thus making it less pure.

Please check the label. You can use different strengths for different insects

I checked the entire package and there's no reference at all to the manufacturing process, the equipment it's processed on or cross contamination. Their website may have more information so you might want to check www.edwardandsons.com.

you should contact the company for that information - as a long time consumer I find their product very consistent quality.
