lanolin-source D3 heavy metal content

[Guest guest]

Shanthi (and others),

I found this sublingual D3/K2 supplement that I like for so many reasons 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.

" These are the results sent by our manufacturer:

Heavy metal test results from manufacturer

D3 5000 IU, Dose: 1 tablet

(in mcg/day)

Lead 0.008

Cadmium 0.0014

Arsenic 0.002

Mercury 0.0008

For her reference, these are the USP not-to-exceed amounts:

USP(mcg/day)

Lead 10

Cadmium 5

Arsenic 15

Mercury 15

(This means that even if a person took 5 pills of this product per day they

would still be within the USP limits, but people ingest other things too;

this is why the USP not-to-exceed limits are on a " per day " basis, so that

someone could conceivably add up all their exposures) "
