These guys are agents, they may not really know what is in it or be able to get

information

on that.

Apparently this is the manufacturer.

Another manufacturer.

I won't check the rest.

Ask the manufacturers for certificates of analysis on the lot for sale showing

heavy metal

contents.

If they do send you one, ask for a sample and have it analyzed - the cheap way

is probably

to put 50 mg into a urine specimen and send it to Doctor's Data for a urine

toxic elements

test.

If it looks OK on that then buy a bunch and make sure it is of the same lot.

DMSA is $28.95 for 120 X 25mg at vrp.com (Vitamin Research), USA.

Even if it had to be shipped across the planet that would add maybe

$10 to $15 to the cost? I don't see how buying large quantities from

China would be cheaper.

plus the bigger issue here i think is what was originally brought up

by mandalay-54. is how do you know what you are getting from these

chinese products or even American products that are not from a

reputable supplier...there is lots of crap products out there
