Many folks have concerns when their CellCore package arrives with a Prop 65 lead warning. This is a required label for supplement companies thanks to the state of California. Here's what it really means and what you should pay attention to when purchasing supplements:
The fulvic and humic acid extracts used to formulate Carbon Technology naturally contain organic, non-toxic heavy metals within safe limits. These heavy metals are different from the toxic, inorganic man-made form of heavy metals that are damaging to health. Unfortunately, the Prop65 warning label in the state of California does not distinguish between organic (beneficial) and inorganic (toxic) heavy metals. Organic heavy metals — such as lead, iron, and zinc — occur naturally in soil. This is where the fulvic and humic acids in Carbon Technology are derived from. Organic heavy metals are actually beneficial to your health in small amounts and are not considered toxic because whatever excess your body cannot use it easily eliminates. On the other hand, inorganic, man-made heavy metals build up in cells and tissues and can cause health problems.
Testing for Heavy Metals in CellCore Biosciences Supplements
All of CellCore supplements go through rigorous third party independent testing for the top heavy metals of concern: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury.
The United States Pharmacopeia — a group that verifies supplement quality — has suggested the following limits for heavy metals in supplements:
Arsenic: 3 parts per million (ppm)
Cadmium: 3 ppm
Lead: 10 ppm
Mercury: 3 ppm
A recent test of CellCore's ViRadChem Binder showed it had 0.216 ppm of mercury. This means that for every million particles tested, only 0.2 of them were mercury. This is a very small amount in comparison to the above suggested limit. For CellCore's own standards, if any product contain more than 5 ppm of lead (half of the suggested limit), they reject the lot and will not make the item available to you. All CellCore products are third party tested for these values, which can be made available upon request.
