Himalaya Brand Bacopa

Since there is a lot of concern over the heavy metal content in different Bacopa brands, I thought that I would write Himalaya and ask for the COA for their Brahmi (Bacopa) product. I sent them an email asking for it, and got an automated response asking for my personal contact details. I ignored it, as it was just an automated message. Then I got an email directly from their customer care asking for my name, address, telephone number, and date of birth. I politely informed them that information was unnecessary for them to provide their purity levels and heavy metal analysis. They had my name and email address. There is no reason they need my address and date of birth.
They promptly ignored my email, so I sent another. I asked them again for the COA, and let them know that we were discussing it on a forum, and other vendors had already given us their COAs. They have now promptly ignored that email as well. This is concerning me now. Why won't they give me their COA, or at least respond to my emails unless I give them my address and date of birth?
I have since sent them another email informing them that I will be making posts on multiple health supplement sites, recommending that…
What they were answering

So what is the final consensus so far? Parmatrix being the only one we have 100% confidence in? (assuming the date of the COA is relevant and the lab is reputable).
I wonder if I should stop taking my Pure Encapsulations bacopa, for the time being.

Until we run some testing, yes. Nootropics Depot has a heavy metals analysis up for their bacopa.
