Heavy metals in the body?

Original post in this thread

I recently ordered some Bacopa and Ashwagandha. If I decide to use one of these products daily, should I be worried about heavy metal build up in my body? Do these metals leave the body over time, or would I need to get a detox?
I couldn't find any definitive answers to this problem. Some people say it's nothing to worry about and some say the opposite.

Everybody wants a little metal in them \m/

But seriously, it is a problem. That is why you want to buy from reputable vendors that test for heavy metals, and release the findings of those tests. We tested both the Himalaya and Baconize bacopa. Both were within the limits, but the Baconize had much less than the Himalaya. Not to mention Himalaya would not release the data to me, and were hostile when I asked for it. We had to pay for third party testing to find the results.
