Bacopa COA received. But is this amount of heavy metals acceptable?

First off, I would like to applaud Pure Encapsulations for giving us this info. It's retarded that I have to be pleasantly surprised that they did, as I think everyone should give us the results. However, it seems everyone is just ignoring my requests lately. I'm looking at you Himalaya!
Now let's look at the numbers. Their capsules contain 200mg of 20% extract. That means to get the recommended dosage of 150mg bacosides per day, you would have to take 5 capsules per day. Since each capsule contains .092mcg, that leaves us with .46mcg of lead per day. The suggested limit is 10mcg per day. So we are well below the limit.
