Lab Tests: Understanding Heavy Metal Levels in Natural Shilajit Resin
Heavy Metals in Dietary Supplements: What Are the Standards?
Heavy metals like arsenic and lead are naturally present in the earth's crust and can consequently be found in natural products, including dietary supplements. Recognizing this, regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have established guidelines and action levels to ensure consumer safety.
For example, the FDA has set an interim reference level (IRL) for lead in food products, incorporating a significant safety margin to protect public health, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children and pregnant women. In terms of arsenic, the FDA regulates both organic and inorganic forms in food, with a greater focus on the more harmful inorganic arsenic.
Comparing Levels: Natural Shilajit Resin vs. Everyday Foods
The lab analysis of our Natural Shilajit Resin indicates less than 1 ppm of arsenic and less than 1 ppm of lead. These levels are not only within regulatory standards but are also significantly lower than the maximum permissible limits for dietary supplements. For comparison, the European Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/1317 sets a maximum level of 3.0 ppm for lead in food supplements, which is nearly three times higher than the levels found in our products.
To put this into perspective, consider common foods that are part of our daily diet. Certain fish, for example, can contain higher levels of mercury, while rice is known to absorb arsenic naturally from water and soil.
