Heavy metals in the body?

Original post in this thread

PeskyPorpoise · 9 points

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.

I bought the bacopa from a site called Mind Nutrition (UK). They where listed as a reliable supplier in the FAQ, but i can't seem to find the COA on their site. Do you know if their brand is any good, heavy metal wise?

I have not tested that brand, so all we can go on is anecdotes. Have you asked them for the testing results?

Purity/Heavy Metals Testing Results

The results from our latest round of testing are in. We all had a pretty good idea that the Bacognize would fair well, as Nootropics Depot's tests showed. However, we now have 3rd party results confirming it. * Lead- .0

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, 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

Bacopa Monnieri - Standardised extracts (e.g Synapsa) and HPLC measurements

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
