The warning on the product is the result of a California law, called Proposition 65 which requires labeling if a product contains more than 0.5 micrograms of lead per daily recommended dose. It takes 1000 micrograms (mcg) to equal 1 milligram (mg.). Lead is naturally found in the environment and in the soil and water so vegetables and crops may have traces naturally. Our products contain many natural herbs and vitamins. It is therefore possible that, from time to time this substance may be present (naturally occurring and a portion contributed by lead in the air, soil, and water due to industrialization). To put the limit in perspective, the World Health Organization has set 243 micrograms of lead per day as a safe level, which is nearly 500 times the limit contemplated under California’s Prop 65. Although only products sold in California require this warning, we are committed to transparency and include it on all products that contain more than 0.5 micrograms of lead per daily recommended dose – even those sold in states that don’t require labeling. Proposition 65 warnings are ubiquitous throughout California on everything from supplements to wine bottles to restaurants and hospital cafeterias.
