Most Ingredients Have Off-Label Contaminants
Studies have shown that 80% of nutraceuticals contain chemical contaminants, and 92% have been found to contain heavy metals. However, because these contaminants fall under the limits, they are not included in consumer nutritional or supplement label leading to a widespread belief that tested ingredients are safe. Lead, for example is detectable in nearly all nutraceuticals and been linked to serious health concerns AT ANY LEVEL, yet it is not disclosed to the consumer that the supplement contains lead. Heavy metals and solvent contaminants have both unknown effects and known effects such as cognitive decline, behavioral disorders, developmental issues, dementia in adults, and kidney and liver damage. Additionally, many of the contaminants are classified as carcinogens.
CO2 Extraction And Ultra Clean Processing Is The Solution
US Manufactured Ingredients
We process botanicals into ingredients using advanced, super-clean, supercritical CO2 or water methods. Since CO2 only dissolves the active ingredients, the extract contains no detectable heavy metals and is also solvent-free. Careful processing enables us to deliver ingredients that are of superior quality and supply better control over off-label contaminants that are not required to be disclosed to the consumer. These contaminants are often associated with unregulated practices or chemicals found in overseas sourcing. Supporting U.S. agriculture means fresher, cleaner, and higher-quality ingredients.
