All of our individual ingredients and finished products are tested to ensure compliance with California Prop 65.
California law contains what is known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, also referred to as Proposition 65 (“Prop 65”). Unique to California, this “right to know” law requires any product (food or non-food) sold in California that causes an exposure to any element listed under Prop 65 must include a warning label. Prop 65-listed elements that commonly occur in everyday food and dietary supplements that are known as heavy metals.
Prop 65 does not ban any products from sale in California; it simply requires warnings about the listed element contained in the product. Keep in mind that many foods, including fruits and vegetables with important nutritional benefits, contain trace levels of these elements. It is important to understand that some trace levels of heavy metals are found in nearly all dried botanicals (as well as common foods). It is well known that there are naturally occurring heavy metals found in soils around the world, and that plants can uptake these heavy metals in small amounts in the same way they do other minerals. As a result, these metals find their way into foods and dietary supplements, although typically only at low levels.
As part of our commitment to purity in our products we are continually looking for ways to further reduce any naturally occurring heavy metal content in our products. This includes seeking alternative ingredient sourcing options with lower heavy metal content, reviewing our manufacturing process, and reformulating our products when necessary.
Interesting fact about Prop 65: Companies with 9 or less employees are not required to abide by Prop 65 legal requirements to begin with; it only applies to companies with 10 or more employees (whom so-called "consumer advocacy groups" and their attorneys go after for large sums of money in settlements). So without knowing how many employees a company has, the end consumer has no way of knowing if the products have actually been tested for heavy metals unless the company specifically confirms it. We go above and beyond in our heavy metal testing, and our testing in general... and everything we do.
