It has california prop 65 warning ON THE LABEL that says that this product contains lead. Where does the lead originate?

spoke to rep about this. very nice and helpful. she stated that the lead comes from water and soil. no different from anything that grows in soil. only exceeds ca levels at max starting dose of 6 tabs a day.

I emailed NutriCology and they sent me the information on CA Prop 65. This was very helpful in understanding about the naturally occuring lead and other metals. Feel Free to Contact them.

look up prop 65 and it will tell you that there is a list of chemicals that have been known to cause birth deffects and cancer it does not just pertain to lead it is a very long list this is probably why the warning is there not just lead is being warned

I checked the bottle and YES there is the Prop 65 warning, but said nothing about lead content.

I believe it has to do with trace amounts of lead in items grown in soil, which is practically unavoidable. Google Prop 65 and try calling Vibrant Health for clarification. You probably got a container meant for California.

Its sold in California. In California you must put a prop65 warning if your products contain 1 of over 2000 materials. The penalty for not putting the sign or label is huge. The penalty for needlessly labeling is nothing. Starbucks, whole foods and every darn store in California has prop 65 warnings all over. Google prop 65 for more info. The toothpaste is made from Redmond clay, a naturally occuring product, so while it may contain thousands of micro amounts of minerals, organic lead may fall in there. This lead threshold will be less than the water you use to wash your mouth out from your sink. All tap water has inorganic lead present from deterioration of supply lines.

There is no warning or mention of lead anywhere on the label. It says it's grown organically in India on small family farms. Other than that, I can't vouch for it. There's a certain amount of trust involved in organic certified in another country. Do you know where the lead comes from?

All products sold by NutriBiotic, in light of the fact that one or more of the chemicals identified on http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65.html may be present in such products, whether because it is found in the environment or otherwise. Nearly all foods contain certain levels of one or more of the following: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Ironically, the amounts established by Proposition 65 are less than what occurs naturally in numerous fruits, vegetables, and water. The Proposition 65 standards are so tough that the following natural products are in violation of Proposition 65: Yams, turnips, apples, tomatoes, artichokes, carrots, cucumbers, green beans, lettuce, spinach, potatoes, corn, and many, many more fruits and vegetables. For instance, carrots contain 12.80 micrograms of arsenic in a one cup serving; green beans contain 28.75 micrograms of lead in a one cup serving, 56 times the allowable limit! The limits established by Proposition 65 are as follows: Arsenic: 10 micrograms Cadmium: 4.1 micrograms Lead: 0.5 micrograms Mercury: 0.3 micrograms Vitamin products containing all natural ingredients are naturally going to contain these substances. Evidence indicates that any of the above that may be present is there only as a result of the environmental conditions in which vegetables are grown, and thus occur naturally in the products.

Because there's lead in this product. I just contacted the company and found this out. I will be sending mine back.

Hi, The state of California enacted Proposition 65 which entitles their residents to be notified when ingestible products contain any ingredients described in the Prop 65 list of compounds that may cause cancer or birth defects. The products that you encounter everyday may have a Prop 65 warning that you were unaware of such as tap water, eye glasses, kitchen applicances etc. Macrolife has listed this on the label that may contain naturally occurring metals. This is due to the naturally occurring state that the products are grown in the ground. We believe in wild harvesting most of our ingredients to preserve their integrity. Prop 65 warning does not necessarily mean a product is in violation of any product-safety standards or requirements. Hope it helps. Thank you.

It's because of California's Prop 65. Lead occurs naturally in MANY vegetables, fruits, etc. That's what the label is about. Don't be upset - just educate yourself. You can start at MacroLife's website. They have a great explanation about the lead warning there.

My recollection is that it came from China. No assurance was given about lead or other toxics. Not asked but: I take this opportunity to note that the ceramic filter absorbs *a lot* of heat while the water drips through.

Per Godinger.com, the crystal on their site has a Prop 65 warning for lead. Contacted them and they state this particular item is LEAD FREE.

I don't know, but I do not recall seeing the lead warning on the packaging with is a requirement in my state (CA).

"Macrolife's website has a page about the issue; the lead content is no higher than that of the foods it is made from." This is the response from a previously asked question on the Macro Reds products. This has to do with Prop 65. A direct quote from the Macrogreens website, to put this in perspective: "Natural green beans contain 28.75 micrograms of lead in a one cup serving, which is an exposure of approximately 50 times the allowed Prop 65 levels."

Since the nuclear plant had and explosion, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking any product that is naturally harvested in that area. Don't take a chance. If i see California Prop 65, I don't buy it. There is a reason for the warning.

Presumably you purchased a California-bound product. Prop 65 is a unique California statute that requires warning for trace amounts of various chemicals. Some of these are naturally-occurring. For details, I would suggest going to the product website - at this link http://www.genesispureteampritchard.com/uploads/2/4/9/1/24915939/faq.pdf and scrolling down to their explanation on Prop 65. I have no independent knowledge about this product, but I presume this is the issue.

Oh golly, I'm sorry, I have no idea about the lead. I would assume it's lead free, but that's just my guess. I really enjoy mine.

Only on the coating on the cord, according to the company. Nothing different than most other cords. California's regulatory state requires the stupidest things to be labeled. There is no way this would be on the market if the product contained dangerous amounts of lead.
