/u/MisterYouAreSoDumb I'm curious about your take on this in regards to Chocamine?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb

We test every batch of Chocamine for heavy metals, including cadmium. RFI's process for making it results in the removal of these contaminants, and we have not seen any batches from them that have been above spec. This is also a good reason to use a more potent extract like Chocamine. When your dose is 1 gram instead of 5g, that's a lot less likelihood of issues.
