Dirty Little SECRETS of the Natural Products Industry (Podcast)

The Health Ranger shares a true story about how his lab caught mercury contamination in a supplier’s product.

Now, what we do is every time we get something in we take another sample to the lab and we test it again. We test it for heavy metals and other things and we do microbiology testing. We’re also adding pesticide testing to everything as well. This test on the ICP-MS – which is the elemental mass spec – came up with crazy high mercury. Yeah, mercury – which we don’t often see in a lot of supplements. It’s a heavy metal that is obviously very, very toxic, but it’s hard to get into foods unless something’s totally contaminated. We see a lot of lead, we see cadmium in cacao nibs and things like that. There’s lead in tea and turmeric all kinds of stuff like that, but we don’t see mercury that often. So, my lab tech, who was running the ICP, he asked me ‘is this is an error or something? What’s going on?’ So, I looked at the results…” Listen to the full podcast below:
