I noticed that Body Balance has minerals like Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury and Lead. Arent these minerals toxic?
All the minerals contained in Body Balance occur in nature and are plant based. They are in an organic and ionic state and not in the elemental form. The amounts of arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead contained within the product are well below detectable limits using very sophisticated laboratory equipment. They are generally in the parts per million (ppm), parts per billion (ppb,) or even parts per trillion (ppt) levels. Every lot made is tested and cleared by our QA department. The levels are no greater than what you would find in common fruits or vegetables in a market. A basic tenet of pharmacology is: The dose makes the poison. Minerals, or any nutrient for that matter, are potentially toxic in massive amounts. Body Balance has been sold for over 20 years and the company does not have a single adverse event reported associated with these minerals.
