Re: lanolin-source D3 heavy metal content

[Guest guest]

It's true we need to be mindful of our intake, but more importantly, we need to

be taking things to be able to detox what we take in. All foods have toxins.

Of course, we want to steer towards the ones with lower toxins, but toxins are

part of the mineral source of the earth, so we can't avoid them, only lesson

them. I can't answer your question as to compare to other brands, but I have

seen companies who regularly test such products. You can become a member of

these organizations and request they test a certain product like Vitamin D, and

they will test what they think are common brands to compare toxin levels in

them. They are like $20 a year to be a member.

except the D3 comes from lanolin. The company finally sent me the test results

(for the lot the bottle I purchased was part of) which I pasted below. I guess

I'm wondering how much lower other D3 sources are in heavy metals.
