Bacopa monnieri (Brahmi) with 3rd Party CoA?

Original post in this thread

lunarsea1 · 25 points

After reading about concerns regarding heavy metals contamination, I was wondering if anyone ever found a reliable retailer of the Bacopa herb with a proper (3rd party) Certificate of Analysis that showed low contamination?

I had a look at past posts on here but couldn't seem to find a retailer with a 3rd party CoA for Bacopa, but was wondering if this has changed recently or if I've missed the relevant post?

Thanks

I'm interested too. There's a relatively unusual number of studies for Bacopa, permitting some actual systematic review & meta-analysis, and it received relatively high marks in the recent survey, so I've wanted to try it out - but I really don't like how heavy metal contamination is a problem.

(The mods have been considering what to test next and I've supported the Bacopa suggestion, but it may not be chosen and then testing would take a while.)

How about I send a sample from Pure Bulk along with the Himalaya? That will give us the results for one we think is bad, and one we think is good.

Or is there another supplier we should do instead? HSW is an option as well.

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, an

Labdoor Bacopa Rankings

Replying to edefakiel · Hi, sorry to bother. I buy everything I can from you, but you don't sell basic items of my stack... Maca, Spirulina, Jujuba... Some recommendations about where to get those things?…

Most places are shit. I do not trust Swanson. I've used Vitacost before, but I would not say I really trust them. Never heard of Sevenhills Wholefoods. A lot of smaller brands pop up, sell for a bit, then disappear. Seve

Replying to throw_my_username · Thanks again for the replies. I live in Ireland. Edit: [Here](https://customizedblends.com/images/coa/5a39106697c5ea.jpg) is the COA of the 50% bacosides by HPLC. I'd be willing …

Yeah, that's SGS in India. This is one of the labs we were fighting with on their numbers. They kept getting over 50% and we kept getting 24%. They sent us huge packets with testing data, and their methods and documentat

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 everyo
